14 * Bit 0 indicates that the powerpc kernel binary knows how to run in an
15 * ultravisor-enabled system.
16 *
17 * In an ultravisor-enabled system, some machine resources are now controlled
18 * by the ultravisor. If the kernel is not ultravisor-capable, but it ends up
19 * being run on a machine with ultravisor, the kernel will probably crash
20 * trying to access ultravisor resources. For instance, it may crash in early
21 * boot trying to set the partition table entry 0.
22 *
23 * In an ultravisor-enabled system, a bootloader could warn the user or prevent
24 * the kernel from being run if the PowerPC ultravisor capability doesn't exist
25 * or the Ultravisor-capable bit is not set.
