5af5099385 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Native usage of the XIVE interrupt controller
This patch makes KVM capable of using the XIVE interrupt controller
to provide the standard PAPR "XICS" style hypercalls. It is necessary
for proper operations when the host uses XIVE natively.

This has been lightly tested on an actual system, including PCI
pass-through with a TG3 device.

[mpe: Cleanup pr_xxx(), unsplit pr_xxx() strings, etc., fix build
 failures by adding KVM_XIVE which depends on KVM_XICS and XIVE, and
 adding empty stubs for the kvm_xive_xxx() routines, fixup subject,
 integrate fixes from Paul for building PR=y HV=n]

243e25112d powerpc/xive: Native exploitation of the XIVE interrupt controller
The XIVE interrupt controller is the new interrupt controller
found in POWER9. It supports advanced virtualization capabilities
among other things.

Currently we use a set of firmware calls that simulate the old
"XICS" interrupt controller but this is fairly inefficient.

This adds the framework for using XIVE along with a native
backend which OPAL for configuration. Later, a backend allowing
the use in a KVM or PowerVM guest will also be provided.

This disables some fast path for interrupts in KVM when XIVE is
enabled as these rely on the firmware emulation code which is no
longer available when the XIVE is used natively by Linux.

A latter patch will make KVM also directly exploit the XIVE, thus
recovering the lost performance (and more).

[mpe: Fixup pr_xxx("XIVE:"...), don't split pr_xxx() strings,
 tweak Kconfig so XIVE_NATIVE selects XIVE and depends on POWERNV,
 fix build errors when SMP=n, fold in fixes from Ben:
   Don't call cpu_online() on an invalid CPU number
   Fix irq target selection returning out of bounds cpu#
   Extra sanity checks on cpu numbers
