When running CPU_FTR_P9_TM_HV_ASSIST, HFSCR[TM] is set for the guest
even if the host has CONFIG_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM=n, which causes it to be
unprepared to handle guest exits while transactional.
Normal guests don't have a problem because the HTM capability will not
be advertised, but a rogue or buggy one could crash the host.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
