2023-07-07ppc/pnv: SMT support for powernvNicholas Piggin
Set the TIR default value with the SMT thread index, and place some standard limits on SMT configurations. Now powernv is able to boot skiboot and Linux with a SMT topology, including booting a KVM guest. There are several SPRs and other features (e.g., broadcast msgsnd) that are not implemented, but not used by OPAL or Linux and can be added incrementally.

2021-09-29docs/system: ppc: Update the URL for OpenPOWER firmware imagesCédric Le Goater
This also fixes a small skiboot/skiroot typo and removes the links to the specific POWER8 and POWER9 images since the firmware images can be used to run all machines.

2021-08-02docs: Format literals correctlyPeter Maydell
In rST markup, single backticks `like this` represent "interpreted text", which can be handled as a bunch of different things if tagged with a specific "role": https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#interpreted-text (the most common one for us is "reference to a URL, which gets hyperlinked"). The default "role" if none is specified is "title_reference", intended for references to book or article titles, and it renders into the HTML as <cite>...</cite> (usually comes out as italics). This commit fixes various places in the manual which were using single backticks when double backticks (for literal text) were intended, and covers those files where only one or two instances of these errors were made.
