This patch series implements nested virtualization in the KVM-HV
module for radix guests on POWER9 systems. Unlike PR KVM, nested
guests are able to run in supervisor mode, meaning that performance is
much better than with PR KVM, and is very close to the performance of
a non-nested guests for mos
When doing nested virtualization, it is only necessary to do the
transactional memory hypervisor assist at level 0, that is, when
we are in hypervisor mode. Nested hypervisors can just use the TM
facilities as architected. Therefore we should clear the

Currently we use two bits in the vcpu pending_exceptions bitmap to

This streamlines the first part of the code that handles a hypervisor

Currently the code for handling hypervisor instruction page faults

This adds a file called 'radix' in the debugfs directory for the

the HPT entries for a HPT guest.
