Hi all,

This new series add the implementation of interpretation for
the PTF instruction.

The series provides:
1- interception of the STSI instruction forwarding the CPU topology
2- interpretation of the PTF instruction
3- a KVM capability for the userland hypervisor to ask KVM to
setup PTF interpretation.


0- Foreword

[...]
We will ignore the following changes inside a STSI(15.1.2):
- polarization: only horizontal polarization is currently used in Linux.
- CPU Type: only IFL Type are supported in Linux
I thought Linux can also run on General Purpose CPUs ??


You are right, I will change these comments.
Thanks
