[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 07/17] ppc/xive: Provide silent escalation support

[Cédric Le Goater]

When the 's' bit is set the escalation is said to be 'silent' or
'silent/gather'. In such configuration, the notification sequence is
skipped and only the escalation sequence is performed. This is used to
configure all the EQs of a vCPU to escalate on a single EQ which will
then target the hypervisor.
