We don't want this stuff to be kernel-only.

If the features weren't "opt"ional, there wouldn't be a bitmap of them. :-)

Just call it "features".  Or maybe just use "flags"?

I think this has to be done in assembly -- otherwise it's not safe for
the interrupt handler to return directly to LR.

Since this is standardized in ePAPR, can we move it out of kvm.c an into
generic code to work with any hypervisor that sets has-idle?  Likewise
with kvm_para_setup().

Needs to be documented, plus a KVM_CAP so userspace can discover that
this feature is available,

Not if we put the bit into flags. Then user space can just check the flags bitmap and know that it's there regardless of capabilities, because older kernels will set the bit to 0.

Do you mean we scan and parse hypervisor node in early_init_devtree()?

It needs to detect that opt_features is available during compile time
(qemu copies headers, but we don't want to force everyone to do that).

The point is that we don't need opt_features. We already have a fearure bitmap in the struct.

No, just have a separate initcall for enabling ePAPR paravirt features.

Even if we did for whatever reason want a new field, the entire struct
is zeroed currently, so we only need a flag if we need to distinguish
"field is zero" from "field is not valid".
