Yongji Xie a56ee9f8f0 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add a per vcpu cache for recently page faulted MMIO entries
This keeps a per vcpu cache for recently page faulted MMIO entries.
On a page fault, if the entry exists in the cache, we can avoid some
time-consuming paths, for example, looking up HPT, locking HPTE twice
and searching mmio gfn from memslots, then directly call
kvmppc_hv_emulate_mmio().

In current implenment, we limit the size of cache to four. We think
it's enough to cover the high-frequency MMIO HPTEs in most case.
For example, considering the case of using virtio device, for virtio
legacy devices, one HPTE could handle notifications from up to
1024 (64K page / 64 byte Port IO register) devices, so one cache entry
is enough; for virtio modern devices, we always need one HPTE to handle
notification for each device because modern device would use a 8M MMIO
register to notify host instead of Port IO register, typically the
system's configuration should not exceed four virtio devices per
vcpu, four cache entry is also enough in this case. Of course, if needed,
we could also modify the macro to a module parameter in the future.
