[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 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.

Changelog for v3 is in "spapr: Implement processor compatibility in ibm,client-architecture-support"
and that is the only change.

Please comment. Thank you.
