45c5eb67da KVM: ppc: Handle guest idle by emulating MSR[WE] writes
This reduces host CPU usage when the guest is idle. However, the guest must
set MSR[WE] in its idle loop, which Linux did not do until 2.6.26.

bbf45ba57e KVM: ppc: PowerPC 440 KVM implementation
This functionality is definitely experimental, but is capable of running
unmodified PowerPC 440 Linux kernels as guests on a PowerPC 440 host. (Only
tested with 440EP "Bamboo" guests so far, but with appropriate userspace
support other SoC/board combinations should work.)

See Documentation/powerpc/kvm_440.txt for technical details.
