16 | * |
17 | * In an ultravisor-enabled system, some machine resources are now controlled |
18 | * by the ultravisor. If the kernel is not ultravisor-capable, but it ends up |
19 | * being run on a machine with ultravisor, the kernel will probably crash |
20 | * trying to access ultravisor resources. For instance, it may crash in early |
21 | * boot trying to set the partition table entry 0. |
22 | * |
23 | * In an ultravisor-enabled system, a bootloader could warn the user or prevent |
24 | * the kernel from being run if the PowerPC ultravisor capability doesn't exist |
25 | * or the Ultravisor-capable bit is not set. |
