Subject: [PATCH 14/14] KVM: arm64: Document NV caps and vcpu flags
Date: Sat, 15 Feb 2025 17:38:16 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250215173816.3767330-15-maz@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250215173816.3767330-1-maz@kernel.org>

Describe the two new vcpu flags that control NV, together with
the capabilities that advertise them.
