The current interrupt logic is just completely broken. We get a notification
from user space, telling us that an interrupt is there. But then user space
expects us that we just acknowledge an interrupt once we deliver it to the
guest.
This is not how real hardware works though. On real hardware, the interrupt
controller pulls the external interrupt line until it gets notified that the
interrupt was received.
So in reality we have two events: pulling and letting go of the interrupt line.
To maintain backwards compatibility, I added a new request for the pulling
part. The letting go part was implemented earlier already.
With this in place, we can now finally start guests that do not randomly stall
and stop to work at random times.
This patch implements above logic for Book3S.

Userspace can tell us that it wants to trigger an interrupt. But
so far it can't tell us that it wants to stop triggering one.
So let's interpret the parameter to the ioctl that we have anyways
to tell us if we want to raise or lower the interrupt line.

Right now MMIO access can only happen for GPRs and is at most 32 bit wide.
That's actually enough for almost all types of hardware out there.
Unfortunately, the guest I was using used FPU writes to MMIO regions, so
it ended up writing 64 bit MMIOs using FPRs and QPRs.
So let's add code to handle those odd cases too.

Currently userspace has no chance to find out which virtual address space we're
in and resolve addresses. While that is a big problem for migration, it's also
unpleasent when debugging, as gdb and the monitor don't work on virtual
addresses.
This patch exports enough of the MMU segment state to userspace to make
debugging work and thus also includes the groundwork for migration.

Right now sregs is unused on PPC, so we can use it for initialization
of the CPU.
KVM on BookE always virtualizes the host CPU. On Book3s we go a step further
and take the PVR from userspace that tells us what kind of CPU we are supposed
to virtualize, because we support Book3s_32 and Book3s_64 guests.
In order to get that information, we use the sregs ioctl, because we don't
want to reset the guest CPU on every normal register set.

This rips out the support for KVM_DEBUG_GUEST and introduces a new IOCTL
instead: KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG. The IOCTL payload consists of a generic
part, controlling the "main switch" and the single-step feature. The
arch specific part adds an x86 interface for intercepting both types of
debug exceptions separately and re-injecting them when the host was not
interested. Moveover, the foundation for guest debugging via debug
registers is layed.
To signal breakpoint events properly back to userland, an arch-specific
data block is now returned along KVM_EXIT_DEBUG. For x86, the arch block
contains the PC, the debug exception, and relevant debug registers to
tell debug events properly apart.
The availability of this new interface is signaled by
KVM_CAP_SET_GUEST_DEBUG. Empty stubs for not yet supported archs are
provided.
Note that both SVM and VTX are supported, but only the latter was tested
yet. Based on the experience with all those VTX corner case, I would be
fairly surprised if SVM will work out of the box.

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.
