[Qemu-devel] [PULL 01/28] target/ppc: Don't require private l1d cache on POWER8 for cap_ppc_safe_cache

[David Gibson]

From: Suraj Jitindar Singh <address@hidden>

For cap_ppc_safe_cache to be set to workaround, we require both a l1d
cache flush instruction and private l1d cache.

On POWER8 don't require private l1d cache. This means a guest on a
POWER8 machine can make use of the cache flush workarounds.
