[PATCH 0/13] Hypervisor-mode KVM on POWER7

2011-05-11 Thread Paul Mackerras
The following series of patches enable KVM to exploit the hardware hypervisor mode on 64-bit Power ISA Book3S machines. At present only POWER7 is supported, but it would be easy to add other processors. Running the KVM host in hypervisor mode means that the guest can use both supervisor mode and
