[PATCH v2 0/2] KVM: PPC: Book3S PR: Fixes for AIL and SCV

The first patch in this series fixes a KVM PR host crash due to a
guest executing the scv instruction or with a pseries SMP host, the
host CPUs executing the scv instruction while a PR guest is running.

The second patch fixes unimplemented H_SET_MODE AIL modes by returning
failure from the hcall rather than succeeding but not implementing
the required behaviour. This works around missing host scv support for
scv-capable Linux guests by causing them to disable the facility.

Still looking at doing a proper capability for QEMU/KVM so we can get
consistency between HV, PR, and TCG. That shouldn't change these
patches though.

Thanks,
Nick
