Probably, yeah.

True.

There is no device passthrough yet :-). It's theoretically possible,
but nothing for it is implemented so far.

Yes. We only come here when we patched the dcbz opcodes to invalid
instructions because cache line size of target == 32.
On 970 with MSR_HV = 0 we actually use the dcbz 32-bytes mode.

Admittedly though, this could be a lot more clever.

For now only Linux runs which only uses the first 3(?) IIRC. But yes,
it's probably worth looking into at one point or the other.

Sigh :-(

When we're running in MSR_HV=0 mode on a 970 we can use the 32 byte
dcbz HID flag. So all we need to do is tell our entry/exit code to set
this bit.

If we're on 970 on a hypervisor or on a non-970 though we can't use
the HID5 bit, so we need to binary patch the opcodes.

So in order to emulate real 970 behavior, we need to be able to
emulate that HID5 bit too! That's what this chunk of code does - it
basically sets us in dcbz32 mode when allowed on 970 guests.
