3c78f78af9 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Tracepoints for KVM HV guest interactions
This patch adds trace points in the guest entry and exit code and also
for exceptions handled by the host in kernel mode - hypercalls and page
faults. The new events are added to /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events
under a new subsystem called kvm_hv.

5deb8e7ad8 KVM: PPC: Make shared struct aka magic page guest endian
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.

72c1253574 kvm: powerpc: book3s: pr: move PR related tracepoints to a separate header
This patch moves PR related tracepoints to a separate header. This
enables in converting PR to a kernel module which will be done in
later patches
