ppc patch queue 2021-07-09
Here's a (probably) final pull request before the qemu-6.1 soft
freeze. Includes:
* Implementation of the new H_RPT_INVALIDATE hypercall
* Virtual Open Firmware for pSeries and pegasos2 machine types.
This is an experimental minimal Open Firmware implementation which
works by delegating nearly everything to qemu itself via a special
hypercall.
* A number of cleanups to the ppc soft MMU code
* Fix to handling of two-level radix mode translations for the
powernv machine type
* Update the H_GET_CPU_CHARACTERISTICS call with newly defined bits.
This will allow more flexible handling of possible future CPU
Spectre-like flaws
* Correctly treat mtmsrd as an illegal instruction on BookE cpus
* Firmware update for the ppce500 machine type
