On booke with ISA 2.06 hypervisor extensions, there's MAS8[VF] that will trigger a DSI that gets sent to the hypervisor even if normal DSIs go directly to the guest. You'll still need to zero out the execute permission bits. For other booke, you could use one of the user bits in MAS3 (along with zeroing out all the permission bits), which you could get to by doing a tlbsx. -Scott -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
