We need to override EA as well as PA lookups for the magic page. When the guest
tells us to project it, the magic page overrides any guest mappings.
In order to reflect that, we need to hook into all the MMU layers of KVM to
force map the magic page if necessary.

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 just introduced generic functions to handle shadow pages on PPC.
This patch makes the respective backends make use of them, getting
rid of a lot of duplicate code along the way.

The linux kernel already provides a hash function. Let's reuse that
instead of reinventing the wheel!

Initially we had to search for pte entries to invalidate them. Since
the logic has improved since then, we can just get rid of the search
function.

For KVM we need to find the location of the HTAB. We can either rely
on internal data structures of the kernel or ask the hardware.
Ben issued complaints about the internal data structure method, so
let's switch it to our own inquiry of the HTAB. Now we're fully
independend :-).

There are some pieces in the code that I overlooked that still use
u64s instead of longs. This slows down 32 bit hosts unnecessarily, so
let's just move them to ulong.

In order to support 32 bit Book3S, we need to add code to enable our
shadow MMU to actually add shadow PTEs. This is the module enabling
that support.
