Currently, the emulated pSeries machine requires the use of the-kernel parameter in order to explicitly load a guest kernel. Thismeans booting from the virtual disk, cdrom or network is not possible....
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:
