Hello, H_INT_RESET performs a reset of the Hypervisor internal interrupt structures, removing all settings done with H_INT_SET_SOURCE_CONFIG and H_INT_SET_QUEUE_CONFIG. This is most important for kdump and kexec to be able to restart in a clean state.
First patch closes a window in the kexec sequence in which the H_INT_RESET hcall can be run concurrently with other hcalls when CPUs are brought down. The other patches wire up the reset hcall making sure it supports H_LONG_BUSY_* returned by the Hypervisor. Thanks, C. Changes since v2: - replaced msleep() by mdelay() as some calling path are under lock.
