For pseries machine emulation, in order to move the interrupt
controller code to the kernel, we need to intercept some RTAS
calls in the kernel itself. This adds an infrastructure to allow
in-kernel handlers to be registered for RTAS services by name.
A new ioctl, KVM_PPC_RTAS_DEFINE_TOKEN, then allows userspace to
associate token values with those service names. Then, when the
guest requests an RTAS service with one of those token values, it
will be handled by the relevant in-kernel handler rather than being
passed up to userspace as at present.

H_CEDE should enable the vcpu's MSR:EE bit. It does on "HV" KVM (it's
burried in the assembly code though) and as far as I can tell, qemu
does it as well.

There is nothing in the code for emulating TCE tables in the kernel
that prevents it from working on "PR" KVM... other than ifdef's and
location of the code.
This and moves the bulk of the code there to a new file called
book3s_64_vio.c.
This speeds things up a bit on my G5.

[agraf: fix for hv kvm, 32bit, whitespace]
Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
When running kvm_vcpu_block and it realizes that the CPU is actually good
to run, we get a request bit set for KVM_REQ_UNHALT. Right now, there's
nothing we can do with that bit, so let's unset it right after the call
again so we don't get confused in our later checks for pending work.

SPAPR support includes various in-kernel hypercalls, improving performance
by cutting out the exit to userspace. H_BULK_REMOVE is implemented in this
patch.

When running a PAPR guest, we need to handle a few hypercalls in kernel space,
most prominently the page table invalidation (to sync the shadows).
So this patch adds handling for a few PAPR hypercalls to PR mode KVM. I tried
to share the code with HV mode, but it ended up being a lot easier this way
around, as the two differ too much in those details.
