They add some documentation for halt polling and export the > module parameters used to control halt polling. Yes, they look fine, just forgotten. > Full disclosure: after I had pushed out some of the patches for POWER9 > support, I discovered that they broke compilation with some uncommon > configurations (those with HV KVM enabled but in-kernel XICS interrupt > controller emulation disabled, or with SMP disabled). Since my > kvm-ppc-next branch is a non-rebasing branch, I pushed a patch on top > to fix the breakage. So bisection is broken over a span of about 6 > commits for these unusual configurations. If you want me to rebase my > kvm-ppc-next branch to avoid the breakage, let me know and I will do > that. I trust your judgement on severity of the problem.
