target-ppc/kvm: Add a wrapper function to check for KVM-PR
It makes more sense if we have a proper function to check for KVM-PR than to check for the GET_PVINFO extension all over the place. Signed-off-by: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com> [dwg: Expanded a comment to discourage overuse of this function] Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
