They have been rediffed against Alex Graf's current kvm-ppc-next branch. This series contains various fixes collected during the process of getting reboot of Book3S HV guests to work correctly, plus some needed for Ben H's forthcoming series to implement in-kernel XICS (interrupt controller) emulation. As part of getting reboot to work, we have relaxed the previous policy where, on POWER7, a virtual core would only run when all of the vcpus in it were ready to run (or were idle). Now a virtual core will run as soon as any one of its vcpus are ready. This avoids the problem where the guest wouldn't run after reboot because userspace (qemu) had stopped all except cpu 0. Please apply. Paul.
