Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/5] KVM: Add documentation for KVM_EXIT_PSCI exit reason
Date: Wed, 16 Oct 2013 22:32:32 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1381942954-22388-4-git-send-email-anup.patel@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1381942954-22388-1-git-send-email-anup.patel@linaro.org>

This patch adds documentation for KVM_EXIT_PSCI exit reason and
PSCI call info in KVM run structure.

We use exit reason KVM_EXIT_PSCI to forward PSCI calls such as
SYSTEM_OFF and SYSTEM_RESET to user space (i.e. QEMU or KVMTOOL)

+Examples of such PSCI functions are SYSTEM_OFF and SYSTEM_RESET.
