Paul Mackerras 699a0ea082 KVM: PPC: Book3S: Controls for in-kernel sPAPR hypercall handling
This provides a way for userspace controls which sPAPR hcalls get
handled in the kernel.  Each hcall can be individually enabled or
disabled for in-kernel handling, except for H_RTAS.  The exception
for H_RTAS is because userspace can already control whether
individual RTAS functions are handled in-kernel or not via the
KVM_PPC_RTAS_DEFINE_TOKEN ioctl, and because the numeric value for
H_RTAS is out of the normal sequence of hcall numbers.

Hcalls are enabled or disabled using the KVM_ENABLE_CAP ioctl for the
KVM_CAP_PPC_ENABLE_HCALL capability on the file descriptor for the VM.
The args field of the struct kvm_enable_cap specifies the hcall number
in args[0] and the enable/disable flag in args[1]; 0 means disable
in-kernel handling (so that the hcall will always cause an exit to
userspace) and 1 means enable.  Enabling or disabling in-kernel
handling of an hcall is effective across the whole VM.

The ability for KVM_ENABLE_CAP to be used on a VM file descriptor
on PowerPC is new, added by this commit.  The KVM_CAP_ENABLE_CAP_VM
capability advertises that this ability exists.

When a VM is created, an initial set of hcalls are enabled for
in-kernel handling.  The set that is enabled is the set that have
an in-kernel implementation at this point.  Any new hcall
implementations from this point onwards should not be added to the
default set without a good reason.

No distinction is made between real-mode and virtual-mode hcall
implementations; the one setting controls them both.
