When a KVM guest tries to use a feature disabled by HFSCR, it exits to
the host for emulation support, and the code checks for all bits which
are emulated. Avoid checking all the bits by using a switch case.

The patch looks fine, but I don't know what you mean by "avoid checking
all the bits".

The existing code checks 4 cases, the case statement checks the same 4
cases (plus the default case).

There are other cause values (not bits), but the new and old code don't
check them all anyway. (Which is OK because the default return value is
EMULATE_FAIL)

AFAICS it generates almost identical code.

So I think the change log should just say something like "all the FSCR
cause values are exclusive so use a case statement which better
expresses that" ?

Also please try to copy the existing subject style for the KVM code, for
this file it would be "KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: ...". I agree it's verbose,
and wouldn't be my choice, but thats what's always been used so let's
stick to it.

cheers

Yes agreed, will send a v2 with suggested changes.
