Most SIGP orders are handled partially in kernel and partially in user space. In order to: - Get a correct SIGP SET PREFIX handler that informs user space - Avoid race conditions between concurrently executed SIGP orders - Serialize SIGP orders per VCPU We need to handle all "slow" SIGP orders in user space. The remaining ones to be handled completely in kernel are: - SENSE - SENSE RUNNING - EXTERNAL CALL - EMERGENCY SIGNAL - CONDITIONAL EMERGENCY SIGNAL According to the PoP, they have to be fast. They can be executed without conflicting to the actions of other pending/concurrently executing orders (e.g. STOP vs. START). This patch introduces a new capability that will - when enabled - forward all but the mentioned SIGP orders to user space. The instruction counters in the kernel are still updated.
