[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/9] spapr: Enable ibm, client-architecture-support

[Alexey Kardashevskiy <aik@ozlabs.ru>]

This enables a ibm,client-architecture-support RTAS call.

This allows older distros (such as SLES11 or RHEL6) to work on modern
POWERPC hardware (such as POWER8) in "architected" mode.

The previous try was "RFC", so this is "v1".

The very first patch here is for the reference, it is already  on its way to
upstream.

Please comment. Thanks!
