This patch doesn't yet move all 44x-specific data into the new structure, but
is the first step down that path. In the future we may also want to create a
struct kvm_vcpu_booke.
Based on patch from Liu Yu <yu.liu@freescale.com>.

Cores provide 3 emulation hooks, implemented for example in the new
4xx_emulate.c:
kvmppc_core_emulate_op
kvmppc_core_emulate_mtspr
kvmppc_core_emulate_mfspr
Strictly speaking the last two aren't necessary, but provide for more
informative error reporting ("unknown SPR").
Long term I'd like to have instruction decoding autogenerated from tables of
opcodes, and that way we could aggregate universal, Book E, and core-specific
instructions more easily and without redundant switch statements.

This will ease ports to other cores.
Also remove unused "struct kvm_tlb" while we're at it.

When the VM exits, we must call put_page() for every page referenced in the
shadow TLB.
Without this patch, we usually leak 30-50 host pages (120 - 200 KiB with 4 KiB
pages). The maximum number of pages leaked is the size of our shadow TLB, 64
pages.

Convert gfn_to_pfn to use get_user_pages_fast, which can do lockless
pagetable lookups on x86. Kernel compilation on 4-way guest is 3.7%
faster on VMX.

When we use TID=N userspace mappings, we must ensure that kernel mappings have
been destroyed when entering userspace. Using TID=1/TID=0 for kernel/user
mappings and running userspace with PID=0 means that userspace can't access the
kernel mappings, but the kernel can directly access userspace.
The net is that we don't need to flush the TLB on privilege switches, but we do
on guest context switches (which are far more infrequent). Guest boot time
performance improvement: about 30%.

Track which TLB entries need to be written, instead of overwriting everything
below the high water mark. Typically only a single guest TLB entry will be
modified in a single exit.
Guest boot time performance improvement: about 15%.

When guest invalidates a large tlb map, there may be more than one
corresponding shadow tlb maps that need to be invalidated. Use eaddr and eend
to find these shadow tlb maps.

We're not calling kmap() now, so we shouldn't call kunmap() either. This has no
practical effect in the non-highmem case, which is why it hasn't caused more
obvious problems.

This functionality is definitely experimental, but is capable of running
unmodified PowerPC 440 Linux kernels as guests on a PowerPC 440 host. (Only
tested with 440EP "Bamboo" guests so far, but with appropriate userspace
support other SoC/board combinations should work.)
See Documentation/powerpc/kvm_440.txt for technical details.
