From f1ced23a9be5727c6f4cac0e2262c5411038952f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Raghavendra Rao Ananta Date: Mon, 2 May 2022 23:38:49 +0000 Subject: Docs: KVM: Rename psci.rst to hypercalls.rst Since the doc also covers general hypercalls' details, rather than just PSCI, and the fact that the bitmap firmware registers' details will be added to this doc, rename the file to a more appropriate name- hypercalls.rst.
