Add KVM_CAP_PPC_AIL_MODE_3 to advertise the capability to set the AIL resource mode to 3 with the H_SET_MODE hypercall. This capability differs between processor types and KVM types (PR, HV, Nested HV), and affects guest-visible behaviour. QEMU will implement a cap-ail-mode-3 to control this behaviour[1], and use the KVM CAP if available to determine KVM support[2].

This one especially, but may as well be the whole series, needs to be Cc'ed to kvm@vger.kernel.org, so that the generic KVM folks are aware of it. Can you do a resend Cc'ing them please. cheers
