There is an existing Nested-HV API to enable nested guests on powernv
machines. However, that is not supported on pseries/PowerVM LPARs.
This patch series implements required hcall interfaces to enable nested
guests with KVM on PowerVM.
Unlike Nested-HV, with this API, entire L2 state is retained by L0
during guest entry/exit and uses pre-defined Guest State Buffer (GSB)
format to communicate guest state between L1 and L2 via L0.

L0 here refers to the phyp/PowerVM, or launching a Qemu TCG L0 with the
newly introduced option cap-nested-papr=true.
L1 refers to the LPAR host on PowerVM or Linux booted on Qemu TCG with
above mentioned option cap-nested-papr=true.
L2 refers to nested guest running on top of L1 using KVM.
No SW changes needed for Qemu running in L1 Linux as well as L2 Kernel.

There is a Linux Kernel side patch series to enable support for Nested
PAPR in L1 and same can be found at below url:

Linux Kernel patch series:
- https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/20230914030600.16993-1-jniethe5@gmail.com/

For more details, documentation can be referred in either of patch
series.

There are scripts available to assist in setting up an environment for
testing nested guests at https://github.com/iamjpn/kvm-powervm-test

A tree with this series is available at:

Thanks to Michael Neuling, Shivaprasad Bhat, Kautuk Consul, Vaibhav Jain
and Jordan Niethe.
