+7.11 KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT
+
+Architectures: ppc
+Parameters: vsmt_mode, flags
+
+Enabling this capability on a VM provides userspace with a way to set
+the desired virtual SMT mode (i.e. the number of virtual CPUs per
+virtual core). The virtual SMT mode, vsmt_mode, must be a power of 2
+between 1 and 8. On POWER8, vsmt_mode must also be no greater than
+the number of threads per subcore for the host. Currently flags must
+be 0. A successful call to enable this capability will result in
+vsmt_mode being returned when the KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT capability is
+subsequently queried for the VM. This capability is only supported by
+HV KVM, and can only be set before any VCPUs have been created.
