Ok. Not planning on upstreaming these patches till we have atleast
another backend.

Please don't add an abstraction without a second implementation.
Once we have the implementation we can consider the tradeoffs.  E.g.
if expensive indirect function calls are really needed vs simple
branches.

[RFC v1 0/2] Plumbing to support multiple secure memory backends.

2020-10-12 Thread Ram Pai 
Secure VMs are currently supported by the Ultravisor backend.

Enhance the plumbing to support multiple backends. Each backend shall
provide the implementation for the necessary and sufficient calls
in order to support secure VM.

Also as part of this change, modify the ultravisor implementation to
be a plugin that provides an implementation of the backend.

  KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: abstract secure VM related calls.
