KVM: PPC: Paravirtualize SPRG4-7, ESR, PIR, MASn
This allows additional registers to be accessed by the guest
in PR-mode KVM without trapping.
SPRG4-7 are readable from userspace. On booke, KVM will sync
these registers when it enters the guest, so that accesses from
guest userspace will work. The guest kernel, OTOH, must consistently
use either the real registers or the shared area between exits. This
also applies to the already-paravirted SPRG3.
On non-booke, it's not clear to what extent SPRG4-7 are supported
(they're not architected for book3s, but exist on at least some classic
chips). They are copied in the get/set regs ioctls, but I do not see any
non-booke emulation. I also do not see any syncing with real registers
(in PR-mode) including the user-readable SPRG3. This patch should not
make that situation any worse.
