This series of patches adds support for FWNMI in PowerKVM guests.
Memory error such as bit flips that cannot be corrected
by hardware is passed on to the kernel for handling
by raising machine check exception (an NMI). Upon such
machine check exception, if the address in error belongs
to guest then KVM causes a guest exit with KVM_EXIT_NMI
exit reason.
This patch series adds functionality to pass on such
machine check exception to the guest kernel by suitably
handling KVM_EXIT_NMI exit and building the error log.
The KVM changes are now part of the upstream kernel
(commit e20bbd3d). This series containe QEMU changes.
