This patch has a few stupid bugs in the kvm_start_guest path. It needs
the following incremental patch.
- mtspr dst/src wrong
- Did not pass SRR1 in r3 to kvm_start_guest
- Didn't take into account the return back to pnv_wakeup_loss, so
r1 was getting lost.
This would cause crashes when starting KVM guests with -smp cores=2,threads=8
I've also tested HMI wakeup by adjusting SRR1 in the simulator, but
can't do an HMI injection on real hardware when it is in nap state
AFAIK.
Thanks,
Nick
