Doorbell emulation is broken for KVM on PAPR guests as support for DPDES
was not added in the initial patch series. Due to this, a KVM on PAPR
guest with SMT > 1 cannot be booted with the XICS interrupt controller
as doorbells are setup in the initial probe path when using XICS
(pSeries_smp_probe()).
Command to replicate the above bug:
qemu-system-ppc64 \
-drive file=rhel.qcow2,format=qcow2 \
-m 20G \
-smp 8,cores=1,threads=8 \
-cpu host \
-nographic \
-machine pseries,ic-mode=xics -accel kvm
Add doorbell state handling support in the host KVM code to fix doorbell
emulation.
