[Bug 2073554] Re: Grub2 Support for nested KVM on PowerVM (POWER10)

[Frank Heimes]

Hi Avnish, well we had the call with the IBM Power team where we
discussed the architectural situation, and a workaround was discussed
for the static key (since there is no static key support in Ubuntu) and
we wanted to know if that is still feasible, the way to got and ideally
tested?

  We have added required changes in grub2 to support KVM on Power. The
  patch is available in upstream grub. This patch adds support for
  Radix, Xive and Radix_gtse in Options vector5 which is required for
  KVM LPARs. KVM LPARs ONLY support Radix and not the Hash. Not enabling
  Radix on any PowerVM KVM LPARs will result in boot failure.
