From: Aneesh Kumar K.V <hidden>

Also in: kvm
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

Runtime disable transactional memory feature looking at pa-features
device tree entry. We need to do this so that we can run a kernel
built with TM config in PR mode. For PR guest we provide a device
tree entry with TM feature disabled in pa-features
