This is broken when the KVM guest has SMT > 1? Or is it broken for SMT=1
as well? Can you explain a bit more of what breaks if it's the latter?

This probably looks okay... hmm, is the v1 KVM emulating doorbells
correctly for SMT L2 guests? I wonder if doorbell emulation isn't
broken there too because the L1 code looks to be passing in vc->dpdes
but all the POWER9 emulation code uses doorbell_request.

This is adding an extra get state for every entry, not good. I don't
think it's actually needed though. I don't think the L1 cares at this
stage what the L2 DPDES state is. So you sholud be able to drop this
hunk.

I would split all the wiring up of the DPDES GSID stuff into its own
patch, it obviously looks fine.

It would be good to have a _LAST define for such loops. It's very easy
to miss when adding KVMPPC_GSID_DPDES that you need to grep for
KVMPPC_GSID_CTRL. Very easy to see that you need to update _LAST.

You just need to work out a good name for it since there's a few
"namespaces" of numbers with similar prefix. Good luck :)

Thanks,
