KVM guests have certain restrictions and performance quirks when using
doorbells. This patch moves the EPAPR KVM guest test so it can be shared
with PSERIES, and uses that in doorbell setup code to apply the KVM
guest quirks and improves IPI performance for two cases:
- PowerVM guests may now use doorbells even if they are secure.
- KVM guests no longer use doorbells if XIVE is available.
There is a valid complaint that "KVM guest" is not a very reasonable
thing to test for, it's preferable for the hypervisor to advertise
particular behaviours to the guest so they could change if the
hypervisor implementation or configuration changes. However in this case
we were already assuming a KVM guest worst case, so this patch is about
containing those quirks. If KVM later advertises fast doorbells, we
should test for that and override the quirks.

This file only needs export.h to get EXPORT_SYMBOL, but in doing
so, it uncovers an implicit use of linux/cache.h as follows:

We use firmware_has_feature quite a lot these days, so it's worth putting
powerpc_firmware_features into __read_mostly.

We need to export ppc64_firmware_features for modules. Before we do that
I think we should probably rename it to powerpc_firmware_features.

Currently we have some stuff in firmware.h and kernel/firmware.c that is
#ifdef CONFIG_PPC_PSERIES. Move it all into platforms/pseries.

This patch moves a bunch of files from arch/ppc64 and
include/asm-ppc64 which have no equivalents in ppc32 code into
arch/powerpc and include/asm-powerpc. The file affected are:
abs_addr.h
compat.h
lppaca.h
paca.h
tce.h
cpu_setup_power4.S
ioctl32.c
firmware.c
pacaData.c
The only changes apart from the move and corresponding Makefile
changes are:
- #ifndef/#define in includes updated to _ASM_POWERPC_ form
- trailing whitespace removed
- comments giving full paths removed
- pacaData.c renamed paca.c to remove studlyCaps
- Misplaced { moved in lppaca.h
Built and booted on POWER5 LPAR (ARCH=powerpc and ARCH=ppc64), built
for 32-bit powermac (ARCH=powerpc).
