    Start implementing pSeries logical partition machine · 9fdf0c29
    David Gibson 提交于
    This patch adds a "pseries" machine to qemu.  This aims to emulate a
    logical partition on an IBM pSeries machine, compliant to the
    "PowerPC Architecture Platform Requirements" (PAPR) document.
    
    This initial version is quite limited, it implements a basic machine
    and PAPR hypercall emulation.  So far only one hypercall is present -
    H_PUT_TERM_CHAR - so that a (write-only) console is available.
    
    Multiple CPUs are permitted, with SMP entry handled kexec() style.
    
    The machine so far more resembles an old POWER4 style "full system
    partition" rather than a modern LPAR, in that the guest manages the
    page tables directly, rather than via hypercalls.
    
    The machine requires qemu to be configured with --enable-fdt.  The
    machine can (so far) only be booted with -kernel - i.e. no partition
    firmware is provided.
