How will guests know that they can use this facility safely after your series? You need both DD2.3 and a patched KVM. > > Signed-off-by: Gautham R.

Just because the POWER9 section became larger than the other? That's a real wart in the instruction patching implementation, I think we can fix it by padding with nops in the macros. Can you just add the additional required nops to the top branch without changing them around for this patch, so it's easier to see what's going on? The end result will be the same after patching. Actually changing these around can have a slight unintended consequence in that code that runs before features were patched will execute the IF code. Not a problem here, but another reason why the instruction patching restriction is annoying.
