[PATCH v3 3/5] rfi-flush: Always enable fallback flush on pseries

From: Mauricio Faria de Oliveira <hidden>
Date: 2018-03-14 22:41:00
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Michael Ellerman, Linus Torvalds

From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

This ensures the fallback flush area is always allocated on pseries,
so in case a LPAR is migrated from a patched to an unpatched system,
it is possible to enable the fallback flush in the target system.
