[PATCH 18/27] KVM: PPC: KVM PV guest stubs

Thu Jul 1 20:42:53 EST 2010


We will soon start and replace instructions from the text section with
other, paravirtualized versions. To ease the readability of those patches
I split out the generic looping and magic page mapping code out.

This patch still only contains stubs. But at least it loops through the
text section :).
