[kvm-ppc-devel] [PATCH] kvmppc_relay: select required relay in

Subject: [PATCH] kvmppc_relay: select required relay in config

From: Christian Ehrhardt <ehrhardt@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

When using the kvmppc_relay patch we need CONFIG_RELAY to compile.
The simple solution to fold into our relay patch is in here which
selects RELAY for us. If preferred we might implement as well a
CONFIG_KVMPPC_TLBDEBUG which selects RELAY and ifdef's our code
using relay elements.

I'm worried about applying this now and then forgetting to change it
before submitting.

I think the right solution is the ifdef idea, but honestly I'm not even
sure I want to adhere to this naming scheme ("44x_tlb") and data format.
I'm also not sure it matters: it's supposed to be debug info only, so
not a stable ABI?

I think it might be better to call into 44x_tlb.c to create the channel
too, instead of sharing it between powerpc.c and 44x_tlb.c. At that
point the ifdefs become more localized too. Want to put together a patch
for that?
