On second look I'm happy enough with this.
It does add some hcall setup code back into exception-64s.S and removes
most of the "fixup" code that was previously moved into
book3s_64_entry.S in patch 12. But if you take patch 12 and 13 and other
earlier patches together they are moving most KVM interrupt knowledge
into KVM which is a good change.
Once that is done, this final one then gets hcall into better shape for
the C code. If anything this patch could go together with patch 12 but
I guess I ended up writing it for the C code whereas the previous ones
were cleanups so the ordering didn't come out that way. It won't be
trivial to move now so I don't think I'd bother.
Thanks,
Nick
