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.

The PowerPC C ABI defines that registers r14-r31 need to be preserved across
function calls. Since our exit handler is written in C, we can make use of that
and don't need to reload r14-r31 on every entry/exit cycle.
This technique is also used in the BookE code and is called "lightweight exits"
there. To follow the tradition, it's called the same in Book3S.
So far this optimization was disabled though, as the code didn't do what it was
expected to do, but failed to work.
This patch fixes and enables lightweight exits again.

When we're loading bolted entries into the SLB again, we're checking if an
entry is in use and only slbmte it when it is.
Unfortunately, the check always goes to the skip label of the first entry,
resulting in an endless loop when it actually gets triggered.

When the guest acknowledges an interrupt, it sends an EOI message to the local
apic, which broadcasts it to the ioapic. To handle the EOI, we need to take
the ioapic mutex.
On large guests, this causes a lot of contention on this mutex. Since large
guests usually don't route interrupts via the ioapic (they use msi instead),
this is completely unnecessary.
Avoid taking the mutex by introducing a handled_vectors bitmap. Before taking
the mutex, check if the ioapic was actually responsible for the acked vector.
If not, we can return early.

We treated the DEC interrupt like an edge based one. This is not true for
Book3s. The DEC keeps firing until mtdec is issued again and thus clears
the interrupt line.
So let's implement this logic in KVM too. This patch moves the line clearing
from the firing of the interrupt to the mtdec emulation.
This makes PPC64 guests work without AGGRESSIVE_DEC defined.

shared_msr_global saved host value of relevant MSRs, but it have an
assumption that all MSRs it tracked shared the value across the different
CPUs. It's not true with some MSRs, e.g. MSR_TSC_AUX.
Extend it to per CPU to provide the support of MSR_TSC_AUX, and more
alike MSRs.
Notice now the shared_msr_global still have one assumption: it can only deal
with the MSRs that won't change in host after KVM module loaded.

ept_update_paging_mode_cr4() accesses vcpu->arch.cr4 directly, which usually
needs to be accessed via kvm_read_cr4(). In this case, we can't, since cr4

Some bits of cr4 can be owned by the guest on vmx, so when we read them,
we copy them to the vcpu structure. In preparation for making the set of
guest-owned bits dynamic, use helpers to access these bits so we don't need
to know where the bit resides.
No changes to svm since all bits are host-owned there.
