let's just move them to ulong.

MOL uses its own hypercall interface to call back into userspace when

So let's implement that as an exit reason, specify it with a CAP and

The guest I was trying to get to run uses the LHA and LHAU instructions.
Those instructions basically do a load, but also sign extend the result.
Since we need to fill our registers by hand when doing MMIO, we also need
to sign extend manually.
This patch implements sign extended MMIO and the LHA(U) instructions.

SRR1 stores more information that just the MSR value. It also stores
valuable information about the type of interrupt we received, for
example whether the storage interrupt we just got was because of a
missing htab entry or not.
We use that information to speed up the exit path.
Now if we get preempted before we can interpret the shadow_msr values,
we get into vcpu_put which then calls the MSR handler, which then sets
all the SRR1 information bits in shadow_msr to 0. Great.
So let's preserve the SRR1 specific bits in shadow_msr whenever we set
the MSR. They don't hurt.

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.

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.

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).

This introduces a set of core-provided hooks. For 440, some of these are
implemented by booke.c, with the rest in (the new) 44x.c.
Note that these hooks are link-time, not run-time. Since it is not possible to
build a single kernel for both e500 and 440 (for example), using function
pointers would only add overhead.

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.

on guest context switches (which are far more infrequent). Guest boot time
