We have all the hypervisor pieces in place now, but the guest parts are still
missing.

This patch implements basic awareness of KVM when running Linux as guest. It
doesn't do anything with it yet though.

To communicate with KVM directly we need to plumb some sort of interface
between the guest and KVM. Usually those interfaces use hypercalls.

This hypercall implementation is described in the last patch of the series
in a special documentation file. Please read that for further information.

This patch implements stubs to handle KVM PPC hypercalls on the host and
guest side alike.

The new e5500 core is similar to the e500mc core but adds 64-bit
support.  We support running it in 32-bit mode as it is identical to the
e500mc.

We use a similar technique to ppc32: We set a thread local flag
to indicate that we are about to enter or have entered the stop
state, and have fixup code in the async interrupt entry code that
reacts to this flag to make us return to a different location
(sets NIP to LINK in our case).

Implement perf-events based hw-breakpoint interfaces for PowerPC
64-bit server (Book III S) processors.  This allows access to a
given location to be used as an event that can be counted or
profiled by the perf_events subsystem.

This is done using the DABR (data breakpoint register), which can
also be used for process debugging via ptrace.  When perf_event
hw_breakpoint support is configured in, the perf_event subsystem
manages the DABR and arbitrates access to it, and ptrace then
creates a perf_event when it is requested to set a data breakpoint.

[Adopted suggestions from Paul Mackerras &lt;paulus@samba.org&gt; to
- emulate_step() all system-wide breakpoints and single-step only the
  per-task breakpoints
- perform arch-specific cleanup before unregistration through
  arch_unregister_hw_breakpoint()

This is started as swsusp_32.S modifications, but the amount of #ifdefs
made the whole file horribly unreadable, so let's put the support into
its own separate file.

The code should be relatively easy to modify to support 44x BookEs as
well, but since I don't have any 44x to test, let's confine the code to
FSL BookE. (The only FSL-specific part so far is 'flush_dcache_L1'.)
