From abbc124753896f72e3715813ea20dd1924202ff0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Gibson Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2018 16:40:23 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] target/ppc: Clarify compat mode max_threads value We recently had some discussions that were sidetracked for a while, because nearly everyone misapprehended the purpose of the 'max_threads' field in the compatiblity modes table. It's all about guest expectations, not host expectations or support (that's handled elsewhere). In an attempt to avoid a repeat of that confusion, rename the field to 'max_vthreads' and add an explanatory comment.
