Linux contains quite some bits of code to load FPU, Altivec and VSX lazily for
a task. It calls those bits in real mode, coming from an interrupt handler.
For KVM we better reuse those, so let's wrap a bit of trampoline magic around
them and then we can call them from normal module code.

We need to explicitly only giveup VSX in KVM, so let's export that
specific function to module space.

Now that we can allow the guest to play with cr0 when the fpu is loaded,
we can enable lazy fpu when npt is in use.

If two conditions apply:
- no bits outside TS and EM differ between the host and guest cr0
- the fpu is active
then we can activate the selective cr0 write intercept and drop the
unconditional cr0 read and write intercept, and allow the guest to run
with the host fpu state. This reduces cr0 exits due to guest fpu management
while the guest fpu is loaded.

Currently we don't intercept cr0 at all when npt is enabled. This improves
performance but requires us to activate the fpu at all times.
Remove this behaviour in preparation for adding selective cr0 intercepts.

init_vmcb() sets up the intercepts as if the fpu is active, so initialize it
there. This avoids an INIT from setting up intercepts inconsistent with
fpu_active.

Instead of selecting TS and MP as the comments say, the macro included TS and
PE. Luckily the macro is unused now, but fix in order to save a few hours of
debugging from anyone who attempts to use it.

If the guest fpu is loaded, there is nothing interesing about cr0.ts; let
the guest play with it as it will. This makes context switches between fpu
intensive guest processes faster, as we won't trap the clts and cr0 write
instructions.

Defer fpu deactivation as much as possible - if the guest fpu is loaded, keep
it loaded until the next heavyweight exit (where we are forced to unload it).
This reduces unnecessary exits.
We also defer fpu activation on clts; while clts signals the intent to use the
fpu, we can't be sure the guest will actually use it.

Since we'd like to allow the guest to own a few bits of cr0 at times, we need
to know when we access those bits.

An SLB entry contains two pieces of information related to size:
1) PTE size
2) SLB size
The L bit defines the PTE be "large" (usually means 16MB),
SLB_VSID_B_1T defines that the SLB should span 1 GB instead of the
default 256MB.
Apparently I messed things up and just put those two in one box,
shaked it heavily and came up with the current code which handles
large pages incorrectly, because it also treats large page SLB entries
as "1TB" segment entries.
This patch splits those two features apart, making Linux guests boot
even when they have > 256MB.

When we get a program interrupt in guest kernel mode, we try to emulate the
instruction.
If that doesn't fail, we report to the user and try again - at the exact same
instruction pointer. So if the guest kernel really does trigger an invalid
instruction, we loop forever.
So let's better go and forward program exceptions to the guest when we don't
know the instruction we're supposed to emulate.

Book3S needs some flags in SRR1 to get to know details about an interrupt.
One such example is the trap instruction. It tells the guest kernel that
a program interrupt is due to a trap using a bit in SRR1.
This patch implements above behavior, making WARN_ON behave like WARN_ON.

Currently we're racy when doing the transition from IR=1 to IR=0, from
the module memory entry code to the real mode SLB switching code.
To work around that I took a look at the RTAS entry code which is faced
with a similar problem and did the same thing:
A small helper in linear mapped memory that does mtmsr with IR=0 and
then RFIs info the actual handler.
Thanks to that trick we can safely take page faults in the entry code
and only need to be really wary of what to do as of the SLB switching
part.

Using an RFI in IR=1 is dangerous. We need to set two SRRs and then do an RFI
without getting interrupted at all, because every interrupt could potentially
overwrite the SRR values.
Fortunately, we don't need to RFI in at least this particular case of the code,
so we can just replace it with an mtmsr and b.

To fetch the last instruction we were interrupted on, we enable DR in early
exit code, where we are still in a very transitional phase between guest
and host state.
Most of the time this seemed to work, but another CPU can easily flush our
TLB and HTAB which makes us go in the Linux page fault handler which totally
breaks because we still use the guest's SLB entries.
To work around that, let's introduce a second KVM guest mode that defines
that whenever we get a trap, we don't call the Linux handler or go into
the KVM exit code, but just jump over the faulting instruction.
That way a potentially bad lwz doesn't trigger any faults and we can later
on interpret the invalid instruction we fetched as "fetch didn't work".

We're being horribly racy right now. All the entry and exit code hijacks
random fields from the PACA that could easily be used by different code in
case we get interrupted, for example by a #MC or even page fault.
After discussing this with Ben, we figured it's best to reserve some more
space in the PACA and just shove off some vcpu state to there.
That way we can drastically improve the readability of the code, make it
less racy and less complex.

We now have helpers for the GPRs, so let's also add some for CR and XER.

All code in PPC KVM currently accesses gprs in the vcpu struct directly.
While there's nothing wrong with that wrt the current way gprs are stored
and loaded, it doesn't suffice for the PACA acceleration that will follow
in this patchset.
So let's just create little wrapper inline functions that we call whenever
a GPR needs to be read from or written to. The compiled code shouldn't really
change at all for now.
