kvm_hypercall0() and friends have nothing KVM specific so moved to
epapr_hypercall0() and friends. Also they are moved from
arch/powerpc/include/asm/kvm_para.h to arch/powerpc/include/asm/epapr_hcalls.h

When a host stops or suspends a VM it will set a flag to show this. The
watchdog will use these functions to determine if a softlockup is real, or the
result of a suspended VM.

Instead of keeping separate copies of struct kvm_vcpu_arch_shared (one in
the code, one in the docs) that inevitably fail to be kept in sync
(already sr[] is missing from the doc version), just point to the header
file as the source of documentation on the contents of the magic page.

This allows additional registers to be accessed by the guest
in PR-mode KVM without trapping.
SPRG4-7 are readable from userspace. On booke, KVM will sync
these registers when it enters the guest, so that accesses from
guest userspace will work. The guest kernel, OTOH, must consistently
use either the real registers or the shared area between exits. This
also applies to the already-paravirted SPRG3.
On non-booke, it's not clear to what extent SPRG4-7 are supported
(they're not architected for book3s, but exist on at least some classic
chips). They are copied in the get/set regs ioctls, but I do not see any
non-booke emulation. I also do not see any syncing with real registers
(in PR-mode) including the user-readable SPRG3. This patch should not
make that situation any worse.

We have to protect the include for linux/of.h by __KERNEL__ so it doesn't
accidently get referenced outside.
This patch fixes this and makes the tree compile again.

Now that the actual mtsr doesn't do anything anymore, we can move the sr
contents over to the shared page, so a guest can directly read and write
its sr contents from guest context.

We will soon add SR PV support to the shared page, so we need some
infrastructure that allows the guest to query for features KVM exports.
This patch adds a second return value to the magic mapping that
indicated to the guest which features are available.

Now that we have the shared page in place and the MMU code knows about
the magic page, we can expose that capability to the guest!

When the guest turns on interrupts again, it needs to know if we have an
interrupt pending for it. Because if so, it should rather get out of guest
context and get the interrupt.
So we introduce a new field in the shared page that we use to tell the guest
that there's a pending interrupt lying around.

While running in hooked code we need to store register contents out because
we must not clobber any registers.
So let's add some fields to the shared page we can just happily write to.

When running in hooked code we need a way to disable interrupts without
clobbering any interrupts or exiting out to the hypervisor.
To achieve this, we have an additional critical field in the shared page. If
that field is equal to the r1 register of the guest, it tells the hypervisor
that we're in such a critical section and thus may not receive any interrupts.

To communicate with KVM directly we need to plumb some sort of interface
between the guest and KVM. Usually those interfaces use hypercalls.
This hypercall implementation is described in the last patch of the series
in a special documentation file. Please read that for further information.
This patch implements stubs to handle KVM PPC hypercalls on the host and
guest side alike.

When in kernel mode there are 4 additional registers available that are
simple data storage. Instead of exiting to the hypervisor to read and
write those, we can just share them with the guest using the page.
This patch converts all users of the current field to the shared page.

The SRR0 and SRR1 registers contain cached values of the PC and MSR
respectively. They get written to by the hypervisor when an interrupt
occurs or directly by the kernel. They are also used to tell the rfi(d)
instruction where to jump to.
Because it only gets touched on defined events that, it's very simple to
share with the guest. Hypervisor and guest both have full r/w access.
This patch converts all users of the current field to the shared page.

The DAR register contains the address a data page fault occured at. This
register behaves pretty much like a simple data storage register that gets
written to on data faults. There is no hypervisor interaction required on
read or write.

The DSISR register contains information about a data page fault. It is fully
read/write from inside the guest context and we don't need to worry about
interacting based on writes of this register.

One of the most obvious registers to share with the guest directly is the
MSR. The MSR contains the "interrupts enabled" flag which the guest has to
toggle in critical sections.
So in order to bring the overhead of interrupt en- and disabling down, let's
put msr into the shared page. Keep in mind that even though you can fully read
its contents, writing to it doesn't always update all state. There are a few
safe fields that don't require hypervisor interaction. See the documentation
for a list of MSR bits that are safe to be set from inside the guest.

For transparent variable sharing between the hypervisor and guest, I introduce
a shared page. This shared page will contain all the registers the guest can
read and write safely without exiting guest context.
This patch only implements the stubs required for the basic structure of the
shared page. The actual register moving follows.

from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a
mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm
Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly. Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.
