At present, when running a guest on POWER9 using HV KVM but not using
an in-kernel interrupt controller (XICS or XIVE), for example if QEMU
is run with the kernel_irqchip=off option, the guest entry code goes
ahead and tries to load the guest context into the XIVE hardware, even
though no context has been set up.
To fix this, we check that the "CAM word" is non-zero before pushing
it to the hardware. The CAM word is initialized to a non-zero value
in kvmppc_xive_connect_vcpu() and kvmppc_xive_native_connect_vcpu(),
and is now cleared in kvmppc_xive_{,native_}cleanup_vcpu.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
