3.16.66-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 03aa047ef2db4985e444af6ee1c1dd084ad9fb4c upstream. Right now the early machine detection code check stsi 3.2.2 for "KVM" and set MACHINE_IS_VM if this is different. As the console detection uses diagnose 8 if MACHINE_IS_VM returns true this will crash Linux early for any non z/VM system that sets a different value than KVM. So instead of assuming z/VM, do not set any of MACHINE_IS_LPAR, MACHINE_IS_VM, or MACHINE_IS_KVM.
