From 740edfc0a35dd688c97ae8907c4377df49219bf3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anup Patel Date: Mon, 30 Sep 2013 14:20:08 +0530 Subject: KVM: Add documentation for KVM_ARM_PREFERRED_TARGET ioctl To implement CPU=Host we have added KVM_ARM_PREFERRED_TARGET vm ioctl which provides information to user space required for creating VCPU matching underlying Host. This patch adds info related to this new KVM_ARM_PREFERRED_TARGET vm ioctl in the KVM API documentation.
