d30f6e4800 KVM: PPC: booke: category E.HV (GS-mode) support
Chips such as e500mc that implement category E.HV in Power ISA 2.06
provide hardware virtualization features, including a new MSR mode for
guest state.  The guest OS can perform many operations without trapping
into the hypervisor, including transitions to and from guest userspace.

Since we can use SRR1[GS] to reliably tell whether an exception came from
guest state, instead of messing around with IVPR, we use DO_KVM similarly
to book3s.

Current issues include:
 - Machine checks from guest state are not routed to the host handler.
 - The guest can cause a host oops by executing an emulated instruction
   in a page that lacks read permission.  Existing e500/4xx support has
   the same problem.

c0a187e12d KVM: powerpc: Fix BUILD_BUG_ON condition
The old BUILD_BUG_ON implementation didn't work with __builtin_constant_p().
Fixing that revealed this test had been inverted for a long time without
anybody noticing...

7b7015914b KVM: ppc: mostly cosmetic updates to the exit timing accounting code
The only significant changes were to kvmppc_exit_timing_write() and
kvmppc_exit_timing_show(), both of which were dramatically simplified.

73e75b416f KVM: ppc: Implement in-kernel exit timing statistics
Existing KVM statistics are either just counters (kvm_stat) reported for
KVM generally or trace based aproaches like kvm_trace.
For KVM on powerpc we had the need to track the timings of the different exit
types. While this could be achieved parsing data created with a kvm_trace
extension this adds too much overhead (at least on embedded PowerPC) slowing
down the workloads we wanted to measure.

Therefore this patch adds a in-kernel exit timing statistic to the powerpc kvm
code. These statistic is available per vm&vcpu under the kvm debugfs directory.
As this statistic is low, but still some overhead it can be enabled via a
.config entry and should be off by default.

Since this patch touched all powerpc kvm_stat code anyway this code is now
merged and simplified together with the exit timing statistic code (still
working with exit timing disabled in .config).
