Although it's optional IBM POWER cpus always had DAR value set on
alignment interrupt. So don't try to compute these values.

Changes from V3:
* Use make_dsisr instead of checking feature flag to decide whether to use
    saved dsisr or not

....

   ulong kvmppc_alignment_dar(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, unsigned int inst)
   {
+#ifdef CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64
+	return vcpu->arch.fault_dar;
How about PA6T and G5s?


Paul mentioned that BOOK3S always had DAR value set on alignment
interrupt. And the patch is to enable/collect correct DAR value when
running with Little Endian PR guest. Now to limit the impact and to
enable Little Endian PR guest, I ended up doing the conditional code
only for book3s 64 for which we know for sure that we set DAR value.

Yes, and I'm asking whether we know that this statement holds true for PA6T and G5 chips which I wouldn't consider IBM POWER. Since the G5 is at least developed by IBM, I'd assume its semantics here are similar to POWER4, but for PA6T I wouldn't be so sure.
