skiboot-5.10.4
**************
skiboot 5.10.4 was released on Wednesday April 4th, 2018. It replaces
skiboot-5.10.3 as the current stable release in the 5.10.x series.
It is recommended that 5.10.3 be used instead of any previous 5.10.x
version due to the bug fixes and debugging enhancements in it.
Over skiboot-5.10.3, we have one bug fix:
* xive: disable store EOI support
Hardware has limitations which would require to put a sync after
each store EOI to make sure the MMIO operations that change the ESB
state are ordered. This is a killer for performance and the PHBs do
not support the sync. So remove the store EOI for the moment, until
hardware is improved.
Also, while we are at changing the XIVE source flags, let’s fix the
settings for the PHB4s which should follow these rules :
* SHIFT_BUG for DD10
* STORE_EOI for DD20 and if enabled
* TRIGGER_PAGE for DDx0 and if not STORE_EOI
