Subject: [PATCH v3 4/4] KVM: Add documentation for KVM_ARM_PREFERRED_TARGET ioctl
Date: Thu, 19 Sep 2013 18:41:41 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1379596302-21522-5-git-send-email-anup.patel@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1379596302-21522-1-git-send-email-anup.patel@linaro.org>
To implement CPU=Host we have added KVM_ARM_PREFERRED_TARGET
vm ioctl which provides information to user space required for
creating VCPU matching underlying Host.
This patch adds info related to this new KVM_ARM_PREFERRED_TARGET
vm ioctl in the KVM API documentation.
