pseries: Add device tree properties for VMX/VSX and DFP under kvm
Sufficiently recent PAPR specifications define properties "ibm,vmx" and "ibm,dfp" on the CPU node which advertise whether the VMX vector extensions (or the later VSX version) and/or the Decimal Floating Point operations from IBM's recent POWER CPUs are available. Currently we do not put these in the guest device tree and the guest kernel will consequently assume they are not available. This is good, because they are not supported under TCG. VMX is similar enough to Altivec that it might be trivial to support, but VSX and DFP would both require significant work to support in TCG. However, when running under kvm on a host which supports these instructions, there's no reason not to let the guest use them. This patch, therefore, checks for the relevant support on the host CPU and, if present, advertises them to the guest as well.
