[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4] spapr: add "stop-self" RTAS call required to support hot CPU unplug

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4] spapr: add "stop-self" RTAS call required to support hot CPU unplug

[Alexey Kardashevskiy]

PAPR+ requires two RTAS calls to be supported by the hypervisor in
order to allow hotplugging VCPUs from the guest. The "start-cpu" RTAS
call was already there but "stop-self" was not.

This adds the "stop-self" RTAS call.

Changes:
v4:
* added MSR clear to prevent decrementer from waking CPU up in TCG

v3:
* exit_request flag change replaced with more correct cpu_exit() call

v2:
* fixed commit message, "spapr: support CPU hotplug"
