binutils is smart enough to know that a branch to a function
descriptor is actually a branch to the functions text address.
Alan tells me that binutils has been doing this for 9 years.

While bolted handlers (including e6500) do not need to deal with a TLB
miss recursively causing another TLB miss, nested TLB misses can still
happen with crit/mc/debug exceptions -- so we still need to honor
SPRG_TLB_EXFRAME.
We don't need to spend time modifying it in the TLB miss fastpath,
though -- the special level exception will handle that.

Previously SPRG3 was marked for use by both VDSO and critical
interrupts (though critical interrupts were not fully implemented).
In commit 8b64a9dfb0 ("powerpc/booke64:
Use SPRG0/3 scratch for bolted TLB miss & crit int"), Mihai Caraman
made an attempt to resolve this conflict by restoring the VDSO value
early in the critical interrupt, but this has some issues:
- It's incompatible with EXCEPTION_COMMON which restores r13 from the
by-then-overwritten scratch (this cost me some debugging time).
- It forces critical exceptions to be a special case handled
differently from even machine check and debug level exceptions.
- It didn't occur to me that it was possible to make this work at all
(by doing a final "ld r13, PACA_EXCRIT+EX_R13(r13)") until after
I made (most of) this patch. :-)
It might be worth investigating using a load rather than SPRG on return
from all exceptions (except TLB misses where the scratch never leaves
the SPRG) -- it could save a few cycles. Until then, let's stick with
SPRG for all exceptions.
Since we cannot use SPRG4-7 for scratch without corrupting the state of
a KVM guest, move VDSO to SPRG7 on book3e. Since neither SPRG4-7 nor
critical interrupts exist on book3s, SPRG3 is still used for VDSO
there.

Embedded.Hypervisor category defines GSPRG0..3 physical registers for guests.
Avoid SPRG4-7 usage as scratch in host exception handlers, otherwise guest
SPRG4-7 registers will be clobbered.
For bolted TLB miss exception handlers, which is the version currently
supported by KVM, use SPRN_SPRG_GEN_SCRATCH aka SPRG0 instead of
SPRN_SPRG_TLB_SCRATCH aka SPRG6. Keep using TLB PACA slots to fit in one
64-byte cache line.
For critical exception handlers use SPRG3 instead of SPRG7. Provide a routine
to store and restore user-visible SPRGs. This will be subsequently used
to restore VDSO information in SPRG3. Add EX_R13 to paca slots to free up
SPRG3 and change the critical exception epilog to use it.

Guest Doorbell interrupts use guest save and restore registers. Add a new
Guest Doorbell exception type to accommodate GSRR0/1 SPRs usage in exception
prolog and fix the exception handler.

On MMUs such as FSL where we can guarantee the entire linear mapping is
bolted, we don't need to worry about linear TLB misses. If on top of
that we do a full table walk, we get rid of all recursive TLB faults, and
can dispense with some state saving. This gains a few percent on
TLB-miss-heavy workloads, and around 50% on a benchmark that had a high
rate of virtual page table faults under the normal handler.
While touching the EX_TLB layout, remove EX_TLB_MMUCR0, EX_TLB_SRR0, and
EX_TLB_SRR1 as they're not used.

Not all 64-bit Book-3E parts will have fixed IVORs so add a function that
cpusetup code can call to setup the base IVORs (0..15) to match the fixed
offsets. We need to 'or' part of interrupt_base_book3e into the IVORs
since on parts that have them the IVPR doesn't extend as far down.
