Now that we have implemented the PAPR "xics" virtualized interrupt
controller, we can add interrupts in PAPR VIO devices. This patch adds
interrupt support to the PAPR virtual tty/console device.

This patch adds infrastructure to support interrupts from PAPR virtual IO
devices. This includes correctly advertising those interrupts in the
device tree, and implementing the H_VIO_SIGNAL hypercall, used to
enable and disable individual device interrupts.

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 extends the "pseries" (PAPR) machine to include a virtual IO bus
supporting the PAPR defined hypercall based virtual IO mechanisms.
So far only one VIO device is provided, the vty / vterm, providing
a full console (polled only, for now).

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.
