On book3e, guest last instruction is read on the exit path using load
external pid (lwepx) dedicated instruction. This load operation may fail
due to TLB eviction and execute-but-not-read entries.
This patch lay down the path for an alternative solution to read the guest
last instruction, by allowing kvmppc_get_lat_inst() function to fail.
Architecture specific implmentations of kvmppc_load_last_inst() may read
last guest instruction and instruct the emulation layer to re-execute the
guest in case of failure.
Make kvmppc_get_last_inst() definition common between architectures.

The shared (magic) page is a data structure that contains often used
supervisor privileged SPRs accessible via memory to the user to reduce
the number of exits we have to take to read/write them.
When we actually share this structure with the guest we have to maintain
it in guest endianness, because some of the patch tricks only work with
native endian load/store operations.
Since we only share the structure with either host or guest in little
endian on book3s_64 pr mode, we don't have to worry about booke or book3s hv.
For booke, the shared struct stays big endian. For book3s_64 hv we maintain
the struct in host native endian, since it never gets shared with the guest.
For book3s_64 pr we introduce a variable that tells us which endianness the
shared struct is in and route every access to it through helper inline
functions that evaluate this variable.

This uses struct thread_fp_state and struct thread_vr_state to store
the floating-point, VMX/Altivec and VSX state, rather than flat arrays.
This makes transferring the state to/from the thread_struct simpler
and allows us to unify the get/set_one_reg implementations for the
VSX registers.

We need the KVM_REG namespace for generic register settings now, so
let's rename the existing users to something different, enabling
us to reuse the namespace for more visible interfaces.
While at it, also move these private constants to a private header.

The DAR register contains the address a data page fault occured at. This
register behaves pretty much like a simple data storage register that gets
written to on data faults. There is no hypervisor interaction required on
read or write.
This patch converts all users of the current field to the shared page.

The DSISR register contains information about a data page fault. It is fully
read/write from inside the guest context and we don't need to worry about
interacting based on writes of this register.

One of the most obvious registers to share with the guest directly is the
MSR. The MSR contains the "interrupts enabled" flag which the guest has to
toggle in critical sections.
So in order to bring the overhead of interrupt en- and disabling down, let's
put msr into the shared page. Keep in mind that even though you can fully read
its contents, writing to it doesn't always update all state. There are a few
safe fields that don't require hypervisor interaction. See the documentation
for a list of MSR bits that are safe to be set from inside the guest.

We already have some inline fuctions we use to access vcpu or svcpu structs,
depending on whether we're on booke or book3s. Since we just put a few more
registers into the svcpu, we also need to make sure the respective callbacks
are available and get used.
So this patch moves direct use of the now in the svcpu struct fields to
inline function calls. While at it, it also moves the definition of those
inline function calls to respective header files for booke and book3s,
greatly improving readability.

The one big thing about the Gekko is paired singles.
Paired singles are an extension to the instruction set, that adds 32 single
precision floating point registers (qprs), some SPRs to modify the behavior
of paired singled operations and instructions to deal with qprs to the
instruction set.
Unfortunately, it also changes semantics of existing operations that affect
single values in FPRs. In most cases they get mirrored to the coresponding
QPR.
Thanks to that we need to emulate all FPU operations and all the new paired
single operations too.
In order to achieve that, we use the just introduced FPU call helpers to
call the real FPU whenever the guest wants to modify an FPR. Additionally
we also fix up the QPR values along the way.
That way we can execute paired single FPU operations without implementing a
soft fpu.
