    powerpc/kvm: Fix guest boot failure on Power9 since DAWR changes · ca9a16c3
    Aneesh Kumar K.V authored
    SLOF checks for 'sc 1' (hypercall) support by issuing a hcall with
    H_SET_DABR. Since the recent commit e8ebedbf ("KVM: PPC: Book3S
    HV: Return error from h_set_dabr() on POWER9") changed H_SET_DABR to
    return H_UNSUPPORTED on Power9, we see guest boot failures, the
    symptom is the boot seems to just stop in SLOF, eg:
    
      SLOF ***************************************************************
      QEMU Starting
       Build Date = Sep 24 2017 12:23:07
       FW Version = buildd@ release 20170724
      <no further output>
    
    SLOF can cope if H_SET_DABR returns H_HARDWARE. So wwitch the return
    value to H_HARDWARE instead of H_UNSUPPORTED so that we don't break
    the guest boot.
    
    That does mean we return a different error to PowerVM in this case,
    but that's probably not a big concern.
