[RFC PATCH 17/17] KVM: PPC: Add an ioctl for userspace to select which platform to emulate

Wed Jun 29 20:41:03 EST 2011
This new ioctl allows userspace to specify what paravirtualization
interface (if any) KVM should implement, what architecture version
the guest virtual processors should conform to, and whether the guest
can be permitted to use a real supervisor mode.
At present the only effect of the ioctl is to indicate whether the
requested emulation is available, but in future it may be used to
select between different emulation techniques (book3s_pr vs. book3s_hv)
or set the CPU compatibility mode for the guest.
If book3s_pr KVM is enabled in the kernel config, then this new
ioctl accepts platform values of KVM_PPC_PV_NONE and KVM_PPC_PV_KVM,
but not KVM_PPC_PV_SPAPR. If book3s_hv KVM is enabled, then this
ioctl requires that the platform is KVM_PPC_PV_SPAPR and the
guest_arch field contains one of 201 or 206 (for architecture versions
2.01 and 2.06) -- when running on a PPC970, it must contain 201, and
when running on a POWER7, it must contain 206.

+emulation it is requesting is supported by KVM.

+
+The KVM_PPC_CROSS_ARCH bit being 1 indicates that the guest is of a
+sufficiently different architecture to the host that the guest cannot
+be permitted to use supervisor mode. For example, if the host is a
+64-bit machine and the guest is a 32-bit machine, then this bit should
+be set.
+
+The return value is 0 if KVM supports the requested emulation, or -1
