[Qemu-devel] [RFC 0/6] PAPR HPT resizing (qemu host side)

[David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>]

This is my latest draft of a PAPR extension allowing a guest's Hash
Page Table (HPT) to be resized at runtime (to better respond to memory
hotplug events).

This series contains the qemu portions of the implementation: a full
implementation for TCG and KVM PR guests, and hooks to enable and
advertise the KVM HV implementation when available.

To use this requires a guest which is aware of HPT resizing, and, if
using KVM HV, a host KVM which implements it as well.  The latest
guest and host kernel implementations can be found here:
