KVM: MIPS: Add 64BIT capability 



Add a new KVM_CAP_MIPS_64BIT capability to indicate that 64-bit MIPS
guests are available and supported. In this case it should still be
possible to run 32-bit guest code. If not available it won't be possible
to run 64-bit guest code and the instructions may not be available, or
the kernel may not support full context switching of 64-bit registers.

If KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION on a kvm VM handle indicates that this capability is

available, it means that the VM is using trap & emulate.



8.7 KVM_CAP_MIPS_64BIT



Architectures: mips



This capability indicates the supported architecture type of the guest, i.e. the

supported register and address width.



The values returned when this capability is checked by KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION on a

kvm VM handle correspond roughly to the CP0_Config.AT register field, and should

be checked specifically against known values (see below). All other values are

reserved.



 0: MIPS32 or microMIPS32.

    Both registers and addresses are 32-bits wide.

    It will only be possible to run 32-bit guest code.



 1: MIPS64 or microMIPS64 with access only to 32-bit compatibility segments.

    Registers are 64-bits wide, but addresses are 32-bits wide.

    64-bit guest code may run but cannot access MIPS64 memory segments.

    It will also be possible to run 32-bit guest code.



 2: MIPS64 or microMIPS64 with access to all address segments.

    Both registers and addresses are 64-bits wide.

    It will be possible to run 64-bit or 32-bit guest code.
