Hi Maddy, Ritesh,

I have made the suggested changes and posted the separate patch here:

Please note that I have marked the patch for stable v6.13+ as the KVM
support for Power11 was added via 96e266e3bcd6 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV:
Add Power11 capability support for Nested PAPR guests"). Also, this
commit had introduced CPU_FTR_P11_PVR on which the compat PVR check in
the patch is based on.

Thanks,
Amit
