[PATCH] hw/ppc/spapr: Test whether TCG is enabled with tcg_enabled()

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

Although the PPC target only supports the TCG and KVM
accelerators, QEMU supports more. We can no assume that
'!kvm == tcg', so test for the correct accelerator. This
also eases code review, because here we don't care about
KVM, we really want to test for TCG.

I don't remember anymore, but what about qtest ? It is usually the forgotten case in these kind of tests... so much complexity :-)

Ciao,

This check was added with TCG in mind because it is a known limitation.
I don't see any reason to prevent qtest from being used with the rest
of this function though.

Bonjour Philippe,

Please drop the unneeded parens in the second check.

With this fixed,

Good to think about this, since such changes indeed usually break,
qtests :)

We don't have any CPU core when using qtest accelerator, so this
check is irrelevant IMHO (not reachable with '-accel qtest').

I wanted to do that but then thought someone would ask me to do one
change at once ;)

Nick,

You might want to include this patch in the series adding SMT support
to pseries/spapr :
