[PATCH 17/27] KVM: PPC: KVM PV guest stubs

Alexander Graf agraf at suse.de
Thu Jul 29 22:47:58 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 :).

v1 -> v2:

  - kvm guest patch framework: introduce patch_ins

v2 -> v3:

  - add self-test in guest code
  - remove superfluous new lines in generic guest code
