Implement PAPR virtual SCSI interface (ibmvscsi)
This patch implements the infrastructure and hypercalls necessary forthe PAPR specified Virtual SCSI interface. This is the normal methodfor providing (virtual) disks to PAPR partitions.

Add a PAPR TCE-bypass mechanism for the pSeries machine
Usually, PAPR virtual IO devices use a virtual IOMMU mechanism, TCEs,to mediate all DMA transfers. While this is necessary for some sorts ofoperation, it can be complex to program and slow for others....
Implement hcall based RTAS for pSeries machines
On pSeries machines, operating systems can instantiate "RTAS" (Run-TimeAbstraction Services), a runtime component of the firmware which implementsa number of low-level, infrequently used operations. On logical partitions...
Implement assorted pSeries hcalls and RTAS methods
This patch adds several small utility hypercalls and RTAS methods tothe pSeries platform emulation. Specifically:
This just prints a character to the console, it's occasionally used...
Implement the PAPR (pSeries) virtualized interrupt controller (xics)
PAPR defines an interrupt control architecture which is logically dividedinto ICS (Interrupt Control Presentation, each unit is responsible forpresenting interrupts to a particular "interrupt server", i.e. CPU) and...
Add PAPR H_VIO_SIGNAL hypercall and infrastructure for VIO interrupts
This patch adds infrastructure to support interrupts from PAPR virtual IOdevices. This includes correctly advertising those interrupts in thedevice tree, and implementing the H_VIO_SIGNAL hypercall, used to...
Add (virtual) interrupt to PAPR virtual tty device
Now that we have implemented the PAPR "xics" virtualized interruptcontroller, we can add interrupts in PAPR VIO devices. This patch addsinterrupt support to the PAPR virtual tty/console device.

Implement TCE translation for sPAPR VIO
This patch implements the necessary infrastructure and hypercalls forsPAPR's TCE (Translation Control Entry) IOMMU mechanism. This is necessaryfor all virtual IO devices which do DMA (i.e. nearly all of them).
Implement sPAPR Virtual LAN (ibmveth)
This patch implements the PAPR specified Inter Virtual Machine LogicalLAN; that is the virtual hardware used by the Linux ibmveth driver.

Implement PAPR CRQ hypercalls
This patch implements the infrastructure and hypercalls necessary for thePAPR specified CRQ (Command Request Queue) mechanism. This generalrequest queueing system is used by many of the PAPR virtual IO devices,including the virtual scsi adapter....
