When a secondary hardware thread has finished running a KVM guest, we
currently put that thread into nap mode using a nap instruction in
the KVM code. This changes the code so that instead of doing a nap
instruction directly, we instead cause the call to power7_nap() that
put the thread into nap mode to return. The reason for doing this is
to avoid having the KVM code having to know what low-power mode to
put the thread into.
In the case of a secondary thread used to run a KVM guest, the thread
will be offline from the point of view of the host kernel, and the
relevant power7_nap() call is the one in pnv_smp_cpu_disable().
In this case we don't want to clear pending IPIs in the offline loop
in that function, since that might cause us to miss the wakeup for
the next time the thread needs to run a guest. To tell whether or
not to clear the interrupt, we use the SRR1 value returned from
power7_nap(), and check if it indicates an external interrupt. We
arrange that the return from power7_nap() when we have finished running
a guest returns 0, so pending interrupts don't get flushed in that
case.
Note that it is important a secondary thread that has finished
executing in the guest, or that didn't have a guest to run, should
not return to power7_nap's caller while the kvm_hstate.hwthread_req
flag in the PACA is non-zero, because the return from power7_nap
will reenable the MMU, and the MMU might still be in guest context.
In this situation we spin at low priority in real mode waiting for
hwthread_req to become zero.

I think this would be best going through the powerpc tree. Alex,
if you can give me an acked-by for this that would be appreciated.
