ppc patch queue 2017-04-26
Here's a respind of my first pull request for qemu-2.10, consisting of
assorted patches which have accumulated while qemu-2.9 stabilized.
Highlights are:
* Rework / cleanup of the XICS interrupt controller
* Substantial improvement to the 'powernv' machine type
- Includes an MMIO XICS version
* POWER9 support improvements
- POWER9 guests with KVM
- Partial support for POWER9 guests with TCG
* IOMMU and VFIO improvements
* Assorted minor changes
There are several IPMI patches here that aren't usually in my area of
maintenance, but there isn't a regular maintainer and these patches
are for the benefit of the powernv machine type.
This pull request supersedes my 2017-04-26 pull request. This new set
fixes a bug in one of the aforementioned IPMI patches which caused
clang sanitizer failures (and may have crashed on some libc / host
versions).
