Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Document how we set AIL on guest kernels
Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2014 15:29:45 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1405574985-21097-1-git-send-email-mpe@ellerman.id.au> (raw)
I spent ten minutes scratching my head, trying to work out where we
enabled relocation on interrupts for guest kernels. Expand the doco to
make it clear.
