This is an unfinished implementation of the kernel parts of the PAPR
hashed page table (HPT) resizing extension.
It contains a complete guest-side implementation - or as complete as
it can be until we have a final PAPR change.
It also contains a host side implementation for KVM HV (the KVM PR and
TCG host-side implementations live in qemu). This is "complete" in
the sense that there's no specific piece I know still needs to be
done, but is still a fair way from actually working, with both guest
and host crashes commonplaces during and/or after an attempted resize.
I'm continuing to debug this, obviously, but any review I can get on
the basic approach would be helpful. With the various failure and
cancellation paths the synchronization is rather hairier than I'd
like.
