KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add new capability to control MCE behaviour

Browse Source 
This introduces a new KVM capability to control how KVM behaves
on machine check exception (MCE) in HV KVM guests.

If this capability has not been enabled, KVM redirects machine check
exceptions to guest's 0x200 vector, if the address in error belongs to
the guest. With this capability enabled, KVM will cause a guest exit
with the exit reason indicating an NMI.

The new capability is required to avoid problems if a new kernel/KVM
is used with an old QEMU, running a guest that doesn't issue
"ibm,nmi-register".  As old QEMU does not understand the NMI exit
type, it treats it as a fatal error.  However, the guest could have
handled the machine check error if the exception was delivered to
guest's 0x200 interrupt vector instead of NMI exit in case of old
QEMU.

[paulus@ozlabs.org - Reworded the commit message to be clearer,
 enable only on HV KVM.]

@ -4011,6 +4011,17 @@ vsmt_mode being returned when the KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT capability is
subsequently queried for the VM. This capability is only supported by
HV KVM, and can only be set before any VCPUs have been created.
7.12 KVM_CAP_PPC_FWNMI
Architectures: ppc
Parameters: none
With this capability a machine check exception in the guest address
space will cause KVM to exit the guest with NMI exit reason. This
enables QEMU to build error log and branch to guest kernel registered
machine check handling routine. Without this capability KVM will
branch to guests' 0x200 interrupt vector.
