Thomas Huth recently posted a patches to switch the default USB
controller for the pseries machine type to xHCI, which necessitated
creating a pseries-2.6 machine type version.
That raised a bunch of comments suggesting better ways we could manage
the machine versioning for pseries.
This is an attempt to implement those suggestions. For the most part
it makes the handling of machine versions for pseries more similar to
the handling of PC machine versions.
Eduardo,
- Any opinions on how 5/10 (the only patch which isn't spapr
specific) should be merged?
Otherwise I'm hoping to get some ACKs from outside Red Hat, at which
point I'll merge these into my ppc-for-2.6 tree, to be pushed upstream
once the 2.6 tree opens.
Changes in v2:
* General rework
* Moved most actual fixes to existing behaviour earlier in the series
for clarity
* Now also avoid redundant calls to the base class instance_init function
