    KVM: s390: interpretive execution of SIGP EXTERNAL CALL · 4953919f
    David Hildenbrand authored
    If the sigp interpretation facility is installed, most SIGP EXTERNAL CALL
    operations will be interpreted instead of intercepted. A partial execution
    interception will occurr at the sending cpu only if the target cpu is in the
    wait state ("W" bit in the cpuflags set). Instruction interception will only
    happen in error cases (e.g. cpu addr invalid).
    
    As a sending cpu might set the external call interrupt pending flags at the
    target cpu at every point in time, we can't handle this kind of interrupt using
    our kvm interrupt injection mechanism. The injection will be done automatically
    by the SIE when preparing the start of the target cpu.
