The spapr virtual hypervisor does not require the hdecr timer.
Remove it.

Why is that? Is this not needed for an emulated powernv running KVM
guests?

It is now also running in the QEMU pseries machine (L0) when a
nested is running. That's part of the implementation Nick did for
the KVM-on-pseries-in-QEMU-TCG.

But isn't that redundant with the cpu_ppc_hdecr_init() and
cpu_ppc_hdecr_exit() from the RFC ? and shouldn't that be
created only once, when the first nested is started or when
the machine is if cap-nested-hv=on ?

hmm, Can we have (env->has_hv_mode && cpu->vhyp) ?  this is confusing :/

Thanks,

C.

Yeah, powernv does not use the virtual hypervisor, that's just for
pseries.

For now I create the timer for a vcpu while it is in H_ENTER_NESTED
and destroy it when the hcall returns.

Thanks,
Nick
