Definition of these defines are similar to what kernel implementation uses at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/papr_scm.c#n53 Since unarmed condition can also arise due to an unhealthy nvdimm hence the kernel implementation uses a mask thats composed of two bits PPC_BIT(0) and PPC_BIT(6) being set. Though we arent using PPC_BIT(6) right now in qemu, it will change in future when better nvdimm health reporting will be done. Hence kept the PPC_BIT(0) define as well as the mask to mimic the kernel definitions. > > Having access to the excerpts from the PAPR addendum that describes > this hcall would _really_ help in reviewing. > The kernel documentation for H_SCM_HEALTH mentioned above captures most if not all parts of the PAPR addendum for this hcall. I believe it contains enough information to review the patch.
