On emergency_restart, we may need to use an NMI to disable virtualization
on all CPUs. We do that using nmi_shootdown_cpus() if VMX is enabled.
Note: With this patch, we will run the NMI stuff only when the CPU where
emergency_restart() was called has VMX enabled. This should work on most
cases because KVM enables VMX on all CPUs, but we may miss the small
window where KVM is doing that. Also, I don't know if all code using
VMX out there always enable VMX on all CPUs like KVM does. We have two
other alternatives for that:
a) Have an API that all code that enables VMX on any CPU should use
to tell the kernel core that it is going to enable VMX on the CPUs.
b) Always call nmi_shootdown_cpus() if the CPU supports VMX. This is
a bit intrusive and more risky, as it would run nmi_shootdown_cpus()
on emergency_reboot() even on systems where virtualization is never
enabled.
Finding a proper point to hook the nmi_shootdown_cpus() call isn't
trivial, as the non-emergency machine_restart() (that doesn't need the
NMI tricks) uses machine_emergency_restart() directly.
The solution to make this work without adding a new function or argument
to machine_ops was setting a 'reboot_emergency' flag that tells if
native_machine_emergency_restart() needs to do the virt cleanup or not.

We need to disable virtualization extensions on all CPUs before booting
the kdump kernel, otherwise the kdump kernel booting will fail, and
rebooting after the kdump kernel did its task may also fail.
We do it using cpu_emergency_vmxoff() and cpu_emergency_svm_disable(),
that should always work, because those functions check if the CPUs
support SVM or VMX before doing their tasks.

We used to defer invalidating userspace TLB entries until jumping out of the
kernel. This was causing MMU weirdness most easily triggered by using a pipe in
the guest, e.g. "dmesg | tail". I believe the problem was that after the guest
kernel changed the PID (part of context switch), the old process's mappings
were still present, and so copy_to_user() on the "return to new process" path
ended up using stale mappings.
Testing with large pages (64K) exposed the problem, probably because with 4K
pages, pressure on the TLB faulted all process A's mappings out before the
guest kernel could insert any for process B.

Bare metal Linux on 440 can "overmap" RAM in the kernel linear map, so that it
can use large (256MB) mappings even if memory isn't a multiple of 256MB. To
prevent the hardware prefetcher from loading from an invalid physical address
through that mapping, it's marked Guarded.
However, KVM must ensure that all guest mappings are backed by real physical
RAM (since a deliberate access through a guarded mapping could still cause a
machine check). Accordingly, we don't need to make our mappings guarded, so
let's allow prefetching as the designers intended.
Curiously this patch didn't affect performance at all on the quick test I
tried, but it's clearly the right thing to do anyways and may improve other
workloads.

In kvmppc_deliver_interrupt is just one case left in the switch and it is a
rare one (less than 8%) when looking at the exit numbers. Therefore we can
at least drop the switch/case and if an if. I inserted an unlikely too, but
that's open for discussion.
In kvmppc_can_deliver_interrupt all frequent cases are in the default case.
I know compilers are smart but we can make it easier for them. By writing
down all options and removing the default case combined with the fact that
ithe values are constants 0..15 should allow the compiler to write an easy
jump table.
Modifying kvmppc_can_deliver_interrupt pointed me to the fact that gcc seems
to be unable to reduce priority_exception[x] to a build time constant.
Therefore I changed the usage of the translation arrays in the interrupt
delivery path completely. It is now using priority without translation to irq
on the full irq delivery path.
To be able to do that ivpr regs are stored by their priority now.
Additionally the decision made in kvmppc_can_deliver_interrupt is already
sufficient to get the value of interrupt_msr_mask[x]. Therefore we can replace
the 16x4byte array used here with a single 4byte variable (might still be one
miss, but the chance to find this in cache should be better than the right
entry of the whole array).

Currently we use an unnecessary if&switch to detect some cases.
To be honest we don't need the ligh_exits counter anyway, because we can
calculate it out of others. Sum_exits can also be calculated, so we can
remove that too.
MMIO, DCR and INTR can be counted on other places without these
additional control structures (The INTR case was never hit anyway).
The handling of BOOKE_INTERRUPT_EXTERNAL/BOOKE_INTERRUPT_DECREMENTER is
similar, but we can avoid the additional if when copying 3 lines of code.
I thought about a goto there to prevent duplicate lines, but rewriting three
lines should be better style than a goto cross switch/case statements (its
also not enough code to justify a new inline function).
