I'm so sorry to have to report a new bug in one of your patches. It was
covered by the one above. I've picked the commit for it from your git
repository and now, the kernel build fails with this error:

BOOTCC arch/powerpc/boot/fdt_strerror.o
BOOTAR arch/powerpc/boot/wrapper.a
WRAP arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.pmac
WRAP arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.coff
ERROR: "kvmppc_h_pr" [arch/powerpc/kvm/kvm.ko] undefined!

The bug was introduced by this commit

KVM: PPC: Support SC1 hypercalls for PAPR in PR mode

PAPR defines hypercalls as SC1 instructions. Using these, the guest modifies
page tables and does other privileged operations that it wouldn't be allowed
to do in supervisor mode.

This patch adds support for PR KVM to trap these instructions and route them
through the same PAPR hypercall interface that we already use for HV style
KVM.

Bye, JÃrg.
