There are a few issues with our handling of the ibm,pa-features
HTM bit:
- We don't support transactional memory in PR KVM, so don't tell
the OS that we do.
- In full emulation we have a minimal implementation of HTM that always
fails, so for performance reasons lets not tell the OS that we
support it either.
- In HV KVM mode, we should mirror the host HTM enabled state by
checking a KVM capability or looking at the AT_HWCAP2 bit.
For now unconditionally disable it by removing HTM from the
pa-features bits. It will be re-enabled in a subsequent patch
specifically for HV KVM.
