This adds code to make sure that we don't try to access the
non-existent HPT for a radix guest using the htab file for the VM
in debugfs, a file descriptor obtained using the KVM_PPC_GET_HTAB_FD
ioctl, or via the KVM_PPC_RESIZE_HPT_{PREPARE,COMMIT} ioctls.
At present nothing bad happens if userspace does access these
interfaces on a radix guest, mostly because kvmppc_hpt_npte()
gives 0 for a radix guest, which in turn is because 1 << -4
comes out as 0 on POWER processors. However, that relies on
undefined behaviour, so it is better to be explicit about not
accessing the HPT for a radix guest.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
