From: Yi-De Wu <redacted> From: "Yingshiuan Pan" <redacted> Add documentation for GenieZone(gzvm) node. This node informs gzvm driver to start probing if proprietary geniezone hypervisor firmware is available and capable of executing virtual machine operations. [Reason to use dt solution] The GenieZone hypervisor acts as a vendor firmware to enable platform virtualization, offering an implementation that is independent of Linux-specific implementations. - Previously, our approach involved probing via hypercalls to detect the presence of our hypervisor firmware. However, this method raised concerns about potential impacts on all systems, including those without the embedded GenieZone hypervisor. - By utilizing the device tree solution, we can accurately identify the GenieZone hypervisor's presence without relying on hypercalls, ensuring a more targeted and efficient detection process that minimizes the risk of unintended consequences on non-GenieZone systems.
