From 541ad0150ca4aa663a2dcb9c834ab493168fe494 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marc Zyngier Date: Fri, 24 Jan 2020 22:42:15 +0000 Subject: arm: Remove 32bit KVM host support That's it. Remove all references to KVM itself, and document that although it is no more, the ABI between SVC and HYP still exists.
