"Under pseries, AIL mode can only be enabled and disabled system-wide so
 when PR KVM is loaded, all CPUs in the host are set to AIL=0 mode."

Loaded as in 'modprobe kvm_pr'? And host as in "nested host"
surely. Unless I completely misunderstood the patch (likely).

Is there a way to make this less unexpected to users? Maybe a few words
in the Kconfig entry for PR_POSSIBLE saying "if you enable this and run
a Hash MMU guest, you lose SCV"?
