The firmware_has_feature() function makes it easy to check for supported features of the hypervisor. This patch extends the capability of the firmware_has_feature() function to include checking for specified bits in vector 5 of the architecture vector as is reported in the device tree. As part of this the #defines used for the architecture vector are moved to prom.h and re-defined such that the vector 5 options have the vector index and the feature bits encoded into them. This makes for a much simpler design to add bits from the architecture vector to be added to the checking done in firmware_has_feature(). Signed-off-by: Nathan Fontenot <redacted>
Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <redacted> The inner loop in fw_vec5_feature_init is perhaps a bit less efficient than it could be, but I don't imagine it's going to take a noticeable amount of time. Paul.
