Hi David, I'll try out the diff with QEMU and confirm that it works as expected. Could you just leave the GPR field in kvm_regs as "gprs". Its a minor change but avoids diffs that just replace "gprs" with "gpr".
Well, there were two changes with respect to 'gprs' vs. 'gpr'.
The change you show above only results in a small handful of diff lines.
My argument for the change is that it will be part of a public ABI, and
should be short and concise, so I changed it to 'gpr'.
I also changed the field with the same name in struct kvm_vcpu_arch to
match, which causes the changes in asm-offsets.c and quite a few other
places as well. One could argue that this one was gratuitous, but I
thought it would be nice for them to match. Since it is an internal
implementation detail, it is not that important, so I could revert this
part if there are strong objections.
