Subject: [PATCH 6/6] ARM: virt: hide CONFIG_ARM_VIRT_EXT from user
Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2013 15:34:17 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1357918457-20469-7-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1357918457-20469-1-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com>
ARM_VIRT_EXT is a property of CPU_V7, but does not adversely affect
other CPUs that can be built into the same kernel image (i.e. ARMv6+).
This patch defaults ARM_VIRT_EXT to y if CPU_V7, allowing hypervisors
such as KVM to make better use of the option and being able to rely
on hyp-mode boot support.
