Mainline Linux tree for various devices, only for fun :)

When running a guest on a POWER9 system with the in-kernel XICS
emulation disabled (for example by running QEMU with the parameter
"-machine pseries,kernel_irqchip=off"), the kernel does not pass
the XICS-related hypercalls such as H_CPPR up to userspace for
emulation there as it should.
The reason for this is that the real-mode handlers for these
hypercalls don't check whether a XICS device has been instantiated
before calling the xics-on-xive code. That code doesn't check
either, leading to potential NULL pointer dereferences because
vcpu->arch.xive_vcpu is NULL. Those dereferences won't cause an
exception in real mode but will lead to kernel memory corruption.
This fixes it by adding kvmppc_xics_enabled() checks before calling
the XICS functions.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
