PowerPC has two KVM types (HV, PR) that translate into three kernel modules: kvm.ko - common kvm code kvm_hv.ko - kvm running with MSR_HV=1 or MSR_HV|PR=0 in a nested guest. kvm_pr.ko - kvm running in usermode MSR_PR=1. Since the two KVM types can both be running at the same time, this creates a situation in which it is possible for one or both of the modules to fail to initialize, leaving the generic one behind. This leads QEMU to think it can create a guest, but KVM will fail when calling the type-specific code: ioctl(KVM_CREATE_VM) failed: 22 Invalid argument qemu-kvm: failed to initialize KVM: Invalid argument Ideally this would be solved kernel-side, but it might be a while until we can get rid of one of the modules. So in the meantime this patch tries to make this less confusing for the end user by adding a more elucidative message: ioctl(KVM_CREATE_VM) failed: 22 Invalid argument PPC KVM module is not loaded. Try 'modprobe kvm_hv'.
