We call idle_kvm_start_guest() from power7_offline() if the thread has been requested to enter KVM. We pass it the SRR1 value that was returned from power7_idle_insn() which tells us what sort of wakeup we're processing. Depending on the SRR1 value we pass in, the KVM code might enter the guest, or it might return to us to do some host action if the wakeup requires it. If idle_kvm_start_guest() is able to handle the wakeup, and enter the guest it is supposed to indicate that by returning a zero SRR1 value to us. That was the behaviour prior to commit 10d91611 ("powerpc/64s: Reimplement book3s idle code in C"), however in that commit the handling of SRR1 was reworked, and the zeroing behaviour was lost. Returning from idle_kvm_start_guest() without zeroing the SRR1 value can confuse the host offline code, causing the guest to crash and other weirdness.
