Subject: powerpc/pseries: Set or clear security feature flags
To: g...@kroah.com
Cc: sta...@vger.kernel.org, t...@linutronix.de, linuxppc-...@ozlabs.org

From: Michael Ellerman <m...@ellerman.id.au>
commit f636c14790ead6cc22cf62279b1f8d7e11a67116 upstream.
Now that we have feature flags for security related things, set or
clear them based on what we receive from the hypercall.
