[QEMU-PPC,V3,2/3] ppc/spapr-caps: Convert spapr-cap-ibs to be a boolean

Commit Message

Suraj Jitindar Singh Feb. 15, 2018, 12:44 a.m. UTC

The spapr-cap cap-ibs can only have values broken or fixed as there is
no workaround. Currently setting the value workaround will hit an assert
if the guest makes the hcall h_get_cpu_characteristics.

Thus this capability is better suited to being represented as a boolean.
Setting this to OFF corresponds to the old BROKEN, that is no indirect
branch serialisation. Setting this to ON corresponds to the old FIXED,
that is indirect branches are serialised.
