This patch adds support for the H_REMOVE_BULK hypercall on the pseries
machine. Strictly speaking this isn't necessarym since the kernel will
only attempt to use this if hcall-bulk is advertised in the device tree,
which previously it was not.
Adding this support may give a marginal performance increase, but more
importantly it reduces the differences between the emulated machine and
an existing PowerVM or kvm system, both of which already implement
hcall-bulk.

Currently our implementation of the H_ENTER hypercall, which inserts a
mapping in the hash page table assumes that only ordinary memory is ever
mapped, and only permits mapping attribute bits accordingly (WIMG==0010).
However, we intend to start adding emulated IO to the pseries platform
(and real IO with PCI passthrough on kvm) which means this simple test
will no longer suffice.
This patch extends the h_enter validation code to check if the given
address is a RAM address. If it is it enforces WIMG==0010, otherwise
it assumes that it is an IO mapping and instead enforces WIMG=010x.

The interrupt controller presented in the device tree for the pseries
machine is manipulated by the guest only through hypervisor calls. It
has no real or emulated registers for the guest to access.
However, it currently has a bogus 'reg' property advertising a register
window. Moreover, this property has an invalid format, being a 32-bit
zero, when the #address-cells property on the root bus indicates that it
needs a 64-bit address. Since the guest never attempts to manipulate
the node directly, it works, but it is ugly and can cause warnings when
manipulating the device tree in other tools (such as future firmware
versions).
This patch, therefore, corrects the problem by entirely removing the
interrupt-controller node's 'reg' property.

Future devices we will be adding to the pseries machine (e.g. PCI) will
need nodes in the device tree which explicitly reference the top-level
interrupt controller via interrupt-parent or interrupt-map properties.
In order to do this, the interrupt controller node needs an assigned
phandle. This patch adds the appropriate property, in preparation.

One of the things we can't fake on PPC is the timer speed. So
we need to extract the frequency information from the host and
put it back into the guest device tree.
Luckily, we already have functions for that from the non-pseries
targets, so all we need to do is to connect the dots and the guest
suddenly gets to know its real timer speeds.

When running PR style KVM, we need to tell the kernel that we want
to run in PAPR mode now. This means that we need to pass some more
register information down and enable papr mode. We also need to align
the HTAB to htab_size boundary.
Using this patch, -M pseries works with kvm even on non-hv kvm
implementations, as long as the preceding kernel patches are in.

Right now the spapr devices cannot be instantiated with -device,
because the IRQs need to be passed to the spapr_*_create functions.
Do this instead in the bus's init wrapper.
This is particularly important with the conversion from scsi-disk
to scsi-{cd,hd} that Markus made. After his patches, if you
specify a scsi-cd device attached to an if=none drive, the default
VSCSI controller will not be created and, without qdevification,
you will not be able to add yours.

Currently the qemu pseries machine numbers its virtual serial devices
from 0. However, existing pSeries machines running pHyp number them from
0x30000000.
In theory these indices are arbitrary, since everything necessary for the
kernel to find them is advertised in the device tree. However the debian
installer, at least, incorrectly looks for a device named vty@30... to
determine whether to use the hypervisor console.
Therefore this patch moves the numbers we use to match the existing pHyp
practice, in order to workaround broken userspace apps of this type.

Currently, the qemu emulated pseries machine puts
"qemu,emulated-pSeries-LPAR" in the device tree's root level 'model'
property. Unfortunately this confuses some installers and ybin, which
expect this to start with "IBM" on pSeries machines. This patch addresses
this problem, making the property more closely resemble the pattern of
existing real hardware.

At present, the 'pseries' machine creates a flattened device tree in the
machine->init function to pass to either the guest kernel or to firmware.
However, the machine->init function runs before processing of -device
command line options, which means that the device tree so created will
be (incorrectly) missing devices specified that way.
Supplying a correct device tree is, in any case, part of the required
platform entry conditions. Therefore, this patch moves the creation and
loading of the device tree from machine->init to a reset callback. The
setup of entry point address and initial register state moves with it,
which leads to a slight cleanup.
This is not, alas, quite enough to make a fully working reset for pseries.
For that we would need to reload the firmware images, which on this
machine are loaded into RAM. It's a step in the right direction, though.

Currently the pseries machine init code builds up an array, envs, of
CPUState pointers for all the cpus in the system. This is kind of
pointless, given the generic code already has a perfectly good linked list
of the cpus.
In addition, there are a number of places which assume that the cpu's
cpu_index field is equal to its index in this array. This is true in
practice, because cpu_index values are just assigned sequentially, but
it's conceptually incorrect and may not always be true.
Therefore, this patch abolishes the envs array, and explicitly uses the
generic cpu linked list and cpu_index values throughout.

Currently, the emulated pSeries machine requires the use of the
-kernel parameter in order to explicitly load a guest kernel. This
means booting from the virtual disk, cdrom or network is not possible.
This patch addresses this limitation by inserting a within-partition
firmware image (derived from the "SLOF" free Open Firmware project).
If -kernel is not specified, qemu will now load the SLOF image, which
has access to the qemu boot device list through the device tree, and
can boot from any of the usual virtual devices.
In order to support the new firmware, an extension to the emulated
machine/hypervisor is necessary. Unlike Linux, which expects
multi-CPU entry to be handled kexec() style, the SLOF firmware expects
only one CPU to be active at entry, and to use a hypervisor RTAS
method to enable the other CPUs one by one.
This patch also implements this 'start-cpu' method, so that SLOF can
start the secondary CPUs and marshal them into the kexec() holding
pattern ready for entry into the guest OS. Linux should, and in the
future might directly use the start-cpu method to enable initially
disabled CPUs, but for now it does require kexec() entry.

Shared-processor partitions are those where a CPU is time-sliced between
partitions, rather than being permanently dedicated to a single
partition. qemu emulated partitions, since they are just scheduled with
the qemu user process, behave mostly like shared processor partitions.
In order to better support shared processor partitions (splpar), PAPR
defines the "VPA" (Virtual Processor Area), a shared memory communication
channel between the hypervisor and partitions. There are also two
additional shared memory communication areas for specialized purposes
associated with the VPA.
A VPA is not essential for operating an splpar, though it can be necessary
for obtaining accurate performance measurements in the presence of
runtime partition switching.
Most importantly, however, the VPA is a prerequisite for PAPR's H_CEDE,
hypercall, which allows a partition OS to give up it's shared processor
timeslices to other partitions when idle.
This patch implements the VPA and H_CEDE hypercalls in qemu. We don't
implement any of the more advanced statistics which can be communicated
through the VPA. However, this is enough to make normal pSeries kernels
do an effective power-save idle on an emulated pSeries, significantly
reducing the host load of a qemu emulated pSeries running an idle guest OS.

PAPR defines an interrupt control architecture which is logically divided
into ICS (Interrupt Control Presentation, each unit is responsible for
presenting interrupts to a particular "interrupt server", i.e. CPU) and
ICS (Interrupt Control Source, each unit responsible for one or more
hardware interrupts as numbered globally across the system). All PAPR
virtual IO devices expect to deliver interrupts via this mechanism. In
Linux, this interrupt controller system is handled by the "xics" driver.
On pSeries systems, access to the interrupt controller is virtualized via
hypercalls and RTAS methods. However, the virtualized interface is very
similar to the underlying interrupt controller hardware, and similar PICs
exist un-virtualized in some other systems.
This patch implements both the ICP and ICS sides of the PAPR interrupt
controller. For now, only the hypercall virtualized interface is provided,
however it would be relatively straightforward to graft an emulated
register interface onto the underlying interrupt logic if we want to add
a machine with a hardware ICS/ICP system in the future.
There are some limitations in this implementation: it is assumed for now
that only one instance of the ICS exists, although a full xics system can
have several, each responsible for a different group of hardware irqs.
ICP/ICS can handle both level-sensitve (LSI) and message signalled (MSI)
interrupt inputs. For now, this implementation supports only MSI
interrupts, since that is used by PAPR virtual IO devices.

This patch adds several small utility hypercalls and RTAS methods to
the pSeries platform emulation. Specifically:
* 'display-character' rtas call
This just prints a character to the console, it's occasionally used
for early debug of the OS. The support includes a hack to make this
RTAS call respond on the normal token value present on real hardware,
since some early debugging tools just assume this value without
checking the device tree.
* 'get-time-of-day' rtas call
This one just takes the host real time, converts to the PAPR described
format and returns it to the guest.
* 'power-off' rtas call
This one shuts down the emulated system.
* H_DABR hypercall
On pSeries, the DABR debug register is usually a hypervisor resource
and virtualized through this hypercall. If the hypercall is not
present, Linux will under some circumstances attempt to manipulate the
DABR directly which will fail on this emulated machine.
This stub implementation is enough to stop that behaviour, although it
doesn't actually implement the requested DABR operations as yet.

On pSeries machines, operating systems can instantiate "RTAS" (Run-Time
Abstraction Services), a runtime component of the firmware which implements
a number of low-level, infrequently used operations. On logical partitions
under a hypervisor, many of the RTAS functions require hypervisor
privilege. For simplicity, therefore, hypervisor systems typically
implement the in-partition RTAS as just a tiny wrapper around a hypercall
which actually implements the various RTAS functions.
This patch implements such a hypercall based RTAS for our emulated pSeries
machine. A tiny in-partition "firmware" calls a new hypercall, which
looks up available RTAS services in a table.

On pSeries logical partitions, excepting the old POWER4-style full system
partitions, the guest does not have direct access to the hardware page
table. Instead, the pagetable exists in hypervisor memory, and the guest
must manipulate it with hypercalls.
However, our current pSeries emulation more closely resembles the old
style where the guest must set up and handle the pagetables itself. This
patch converts it to act like a modern partition.
This involves two things: first, the hash translation path is modified to
permit the has table to be stored externally to the emulated machine's
RAM. The pSeries machine init code configures the CPUs to use this mode.
Secondly, we emulate the PAPR hypercalls for manipulating the external
hashed page table.

This patch adds a "pseries" machine to qemu. This aims to emulate a
logical partition on an IBM pSeries machine, compliant to the
"PowerPC Architecture Platform Requirements" (PAPR) document.
This initial version is quite limited, it implements a basic machine
and PAPR hypercall emulation. So far only one hypercall is present -
H_PUT_TERM_CHAR - so that a (write-only) console is available.
Multiple CPUs are permitted, with SMP entry handled kexec() style.
The machine so far more resembles an old POWER4 style "full system
partition" rather than a modern LPAR, in that the guest manages the
page tables directly, rather than via hypercalls.
The machine requires qemu to be configured with --enable-fdt. The
machine can (so far) only be booted with -kernel - i.e. no partition
firmware is provided.
