Re: [FSL P50x0] KVM HV doesn't work anymore

[Christian Zigotzky <chzigotzky@xenosoft.de>]

Hi All,

I bisected today [1] and the bisecting itself was OK but the reverting 
of the bad commit doesn't solve the issue. Do you have an idea which 
commit could be resposible for this issue? Maybe the bisecting wasn't 
successful. I will look in the kernel git log. Maybe there is a commit 
that affected KVM HV on FSL P50x0 machines.

Thanks,
Christian
