Re: [PATCH 3/3] KVM: PPC: Book3S: 64-bit CONFIG_RELOCATABLE support for interrupts

64-bit Book3S exception handlers must find the dynamic kernel base

Support this in KVM by branching with CTR, similarly to regular
interrupt handlers. The guest CTR saved in HSTATE_SCRATCH1 and
restored after the branch.

Without this, the host kernel hangs and crashes randomly when it is
running at a non-0 address and a KVM guest is started.

Looks OK to me.

I have a slight quibble about the naming of the "BRANCH_LINK_TO_KVM"
macro because neither its definition nor the place where it's used
have anything to do with KVM as far as I can see.  That needn't stop
the patch going in, though.
