[ Upstream commit 15e9e35cd1dec2bc138464de6bf8ef828df19235 ]
MIPS defines two kvm types:
#define KVM_VM_MIPS_TE 0
#define KVM_VM_MIPS_VZ 1
In Documentation/virt/kvm/api.rst it is said that "You probably want to
use 0 as machine type", which implies that type 0 be the "automatic" or
"default" type. And, in user-space libvirt use the null-machine (with
type 0) to detect the kvm capability, which returns "KVM not supported"
on a VZ platform.
I try to fix it in QEMU but it is ugly:
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-08/msg05629.html
And Thomas Huth suggests me to change the definition of kvm type:
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-09/msg03281.html
So I define like this:
#define KVM_VM_MIPS_AUTO 0
#define KVM_VM_MIPS_VZ 1
#define KVM_VM_MIPS_TE 2
Since VZ and TE cannot co-exists, using type 0 on a TE platform will
still return success (so old user-space tools have no problems on new
kernels); the advantage is that using type 0 on a VZ platform will not
return failure. So, the only problem is "new user-space tools use type
2 on old kernels", but if we treat this as a kernel bug, we can backport
this patch to old stable kernels.

The problem the patch is trying to address is the fact that 'struct
kvm_hyperv_exit' has different layout on when compiling in 32 and 64 bit
modes.
In 64-bit mode the default alignment boundary is 64 bits thus
forcing extra gaps after 'type' and 'msr' but in 32-bit mode the
boundary is at 32 bits thus no extra gaps.
This is an issue as even when the kernel is 64 bit, the userspace using
the interface can be both 32 and 64 bit but the same 32 bit userspace has
to work with 32 bit kernel.
The issue is fixed by forcing the 64 bit layout, this leads to ABI
change for 32 bit builds and while we are obviously breaking '32 bit
userspace with 32 bit kernel' case, we're fixing the '32 bit userspace
with 64 bit kernel' one.
As the interface has no (known) users and 32 bit KVM is rather baroque
nowadays, this seems like a reasonable decision.
