This should be described in Documentation/virt/kvm/api.rst. Strictly speaking, it should be a capability which is disabled by default, so the guest can only do the H_SET_MODE to set DAWR[X]1 if it has been explicitly permitted to do so by userspace (QEMU). This is because we want as little as possible of the VM configuration to come from the host capabilities rather than from what userspace configures. So what we really need here is for this to be a capability which can be queried by userspace to find out if it is possible, and then enabled by userspace if it wants. See how KVM_CAP_PPC_NESTED_HV is handled for example. Paul.
