Re: [PATCH v5 42/48] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Radix guests should not have userspace hcalls reflected to them

Excerpts from Nicholas Piggin's message of April 2, 2021 1:03 am:
The reflection of sc 1 hcalls from PR=1 userspace is required to support
PR KVM. Radix guests don't support PR KVM nor do they support nested
hash guests, so this sc 1 reflection can be removed from radix guests.
Cause a privileged program check instead, which is less surprising.
I'm thinking twice about where to put this patch. This is kind of
backwards (but also kind of not), so I decided instead to make
the change to not reflect on radix in the patch that removes real
mode hcall handlers from the P9 path.

And the patch around this part of the series will introduce reflection
for hash guest support in the P9 path.

End result is the same but I think that works better.

Thanks,
Nick
