This disables the use of the streamlined entry path for radix guests
on early POWER9 chips that need the workaround added in commit
a25bd72bad ("powerpc/mm/radix: Workaround prefetch issue with KVM",
2017-07-24), because the streamlined entry path does not include
that workaround. This also means that we can't do nested HV-KVM
on those chips.
Since the chips that need that workaround are the same ones that can't
run both radix and HPT guests at the same time on different threads of
a core, we use the existing 'no_mixing_hpt_and_radix' variable that
identifies those chips to identify when we can't use the new guest
entry path, and when we can't do nested virtualization.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
