David Gibson b4a7852735 Place pseries vty devices at addresses more similar to existing machines
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.

Ben Herrenschmidt 08942ac179 Add a PAPR TCE-bypass mechanism for the pSeries machine
Usually, PAPR virtual IO devices use a virtual IOMMU mechanism, TCEs,
to mediate all DMA transfers.  While this is necessary for some sorts of
operation, it can be complex to program and slow for others.

This patch implements a mechanism for bypassing TCE translation, treating
"IO" addresses as plain (guest) physical memory addresses.  This has two
main uses:
 * Simple, but 64-bit aware programs like firmwares can use the VIO devices
without the complexity of TCE setup.
 * The guest OS can optionally use the TCE bypass to improve performance in
suitable situations.

The mechanism used is a per-device flag which disables TCE translation.
The flag is toggled with some (hypervisor-implemented) RTAS methods.

Ben Herrenschmidt 6e270446d0 Implement PAPR virtual SCSI interface (ibmvscsi)
This patch implements the infrastructure and hypercalls necessary for
the PAPR specified Virtual SCSI interface.  This is the normal method
for providing (virtual) disks to PAPR partitions.

Ben Herrenschmidt b45d63b62f Implement PAPR CRQ hypercalls
This patch implements the infrastructure and hypercalls necessary for the
PAPR specified CRQ (Command Request Queue) mechanism.  This general
request queueing system is used by many of the PAPR virtual IO devices,
including the virtual scsi adapter.

David Gibson ee86dfeebb Implement TCE translation for sPAPR VIO
This patch implements the necessary infrastructure and hypercalls for
sPAPR's TCE (Translation Control Entry) IOMMU mechanism.  This is necessary
for all virtual IO devices which do DMA (i.e. nearly all of them).

David Gibson 0201e2da65 Add (virtual) interrupt to PAPR virtual tty device
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.

David Gibson 00dc738d8a Add PAPR H_VIO_SIGNAL hypercall and infrastructure for VIO interrupts
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.

David Gibson 4040ab7237 Implement the bus structure for PAPR virtual IO
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).
