Cédric,

Not sure if you've seen this thread, but one of the HV-mode patches
caused a regression on Mac.  I think it's because I didn't include the
other patch which treats Apple-mode PPCs as always having HV=1.

Can you make sending your updated version of that patch a priority,
even if the rest of the batch of HV patches isn't ready yet.

Ok.

So, yeah, I'm not really set up to test Mac machines which means I
don't easily catch regressions like this.

Mark,

Could you look into adding a testcase to "make check" that will at
least catch these unsubtle breaks boot type regressions?
