ppc patch queue for 2016-Sep-7
This is my first pull request for the newly opened qemu-2.8 tree. It
contains a heap of things that were too late for 2.7 and have been
queued for a while. In particular:
* A number of preliminary patches for the powernv machine type
* A substantial cleanup of exception handling which will be
necessary to support running a TCG with hypervisor
facilities
* A start on support for POWER9
* Some TCG implementations for new POWER9 instructions
* Some TCG and related cleanups in preparation for POWER9
* Some assorted TCG optimizations
* An implementation of the H_CHANGE_LOGICAL_LAN_MAC hypercall
which allows the MAC address to be changed on the PAPR virtual
NIC.
* Add some extra test cases for several machines (this isn't
strictly in the ppc code, but is most value to ppc)
NOTE: This pull request supersedes ppc-for-2.8-20160906, which had
some problems. Changes:
* Dropped BenH's lmw/stmw speedups, which break for
qemu-system-ppc64 on BE hosts
* A small fix to Thomas' serial output test to avoid a warning on
the isapc machine type.
* Some trivial checkpatch fixes
Note that some of the patches in this series still have large numbers
of checkpatch warnings. This is because they're moving existing code
that predates most of the checkpatch style conventions.
