Hi Aneesh,

Thanks for looking into the patch. My comments are inline below.

The above condition check will cause problems when we would try to boot
a machine below Power 9.

For example, if we passed the arch_compat == PVR_ARCH_207, cap will
remain 0 resulting the above check into a false condition. Consequently,
we would never return an -EINVAL in that case resulting the arch
compatilbility request succeed when it doesn't support nested papr
guest.

No, an arch_compat == 0 won't work in nested API v2. That's because the
guest wide PVR cannot be 0, and if arch_compat == 0, then suppported
host PVR value should be mentioned.

If we were to skip this hunk (keeping the arch_compat == 0), a system
reboot of L2 guest would fail and result into a kernel trap as below:
