On x86 you use cpuid to enumerate which hypercalls are available. The natural fit on ppc would be device tree based lookup (which is also what EPAPR dictates), but we also have a second enumeration mechanism that's KVM specific - which is this hypercall. >> > > Thanks, will add this. I hope you are OK if I add Signed-off-by: you. I don't think you need a signed-off-by from me for this very simple documentation addition :). You should probably also reword it. I didn't quite write it as a paragraph that should go into the file.
