Michael Neuling f90ece28c1 powerpc/pseries: Add hcall to read 4 ptes at a time in real mode
This adds plpar_pte_read_4_raw() which can be used read 4 PTEs from
PHYP at a time, while in real mode.

It also creates a new hcall9 which can be used in real mode.  It's the
same as plpar_hcall9 but minus the tracing hcall statistics which may
require variables outside the RMO.

Vaidyanathan Srinivasan 6fe9d1facb powerpc/pseries: Export data from new hcall H_EM_GET_PARMS
Add support for H_EM_GET_PARMS hcall that will return data
related to power modes from the platform.  Export the data
directly to user space for administrative tools to interpret
and use.

cat /proc/powerpc/lparcfg will export power mode data

Anton Blanchard c8cd093a6e powerpc: tracing: Add hypervisor call tracepoints
Add hcall_entry and hcall_exit tracepoints.  This replaces the inline
assembly HCALL_STATS code and converts it to use the new tracepoints.

To keep the disabled case as quick as possible, we embed a status word
in the TOC so we can get at it with a single load.  By doing so we
keep the overhead at a minimum.  Time taken for a null hcall:

No tracepoint code:	135.79 cycles
Disabled tracepoints:	137.95 cycles

For reference, before this patch enabling HCALL_STATS resulted in a null
hcall of 201.44 cycles!

Robert Jennings 81f14997e8 powerpc: Make CMO paging space pool ID and page size available
During platform setup, save off the primary/secondary paging space
pool IDs and the page size.  Added accessors in hvcall.h for these
variables.  This is needed for a subsequent fix.

Stephen Rothwell b8b572e101 powerpc: Move include files to arch/powerpc/include/asm
from include/asm-powerpc.  This is the result of a

mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm

Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly.  Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.
