[PATCH v2 5/7] ARM: virt: Add boot-time diagnostics

Marc Zyngier marc.zyngier at arm.com
Fri Sep 7 12:55:32 EDT 2012


From: Dave Martin <dave.martin at linaro.org>

In order to easily detect pathological cases, print some diagnostics
when the kernel boots.

This also provides helpers to detect that HYP mode is actually available,
which can be used by other subsystems to enable HYP specific features.
