[PATCH v2 01/37] KVM: PPC: Book3S 64: remove unused kvmppc_h_protect argument

[Daniel Axtens]

Hi Nick,

Huh, so it isn't. I tracked the original implementation down to commit
a8606e20e41a ("KVM: PPC: Handle some PAPR hcalls in the kernel") where
paulus first added the ability to handle it in the kernel - there it
takes a va argument but even then doesn't do anything with it.

ajd also pointed out that we don't pass a va when linux is running as a
guest, and LoPAR does not mention va as an argument.

One small nit: checkpatch is complaining about spaces vs tabs:
ERROR: code indent should use tabs where possible
#25: FILE: arch/powerpc/include/asm/kvm_ppc.h:770:
+                      unsigned long pte_index, unsigned long avpn);$

WARNING: please, no spaces at the start of a line
#25: FILE: arch/powerpc/include/asm/kvm_ppc.h:770:
+                      unsigned long pte_index, unsigned long avpn);$

Once that is resolved,
