Re: [PATCH v3 3/3] KVM: PPC: Add KVM_CAP_PPC_AIL_MODE_3

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
