The pseries machine type is a bit unusual in that it runs a paravirtualized
guest. The guest expects to interact with a hypervisor, and qemu
emulates the functions of that hypervisor directly, rather than executing
hypervisor code within the emulated system.
To implement this in TCG, we need to intercept hypercall instructions and
direct them to the machine's hypercall handlers, rather than attempting to
perform a privilege change within TCG. This is controlled by a global
hook - cpu_ppc_hypercall.
This cleanup makes the handling a little cleaner and more extensible than
a single global variable. Instead, each CPU to have hypercalls intercepted
has a pointer set to a QOM object implementing a new virtual hypervisor
interface. A method in that interface is called by TCG when it sees a
hypercall instruction. It's possible we may want to add other methods in
future.

We've currently got 18 architectures in QEMU, and thus 18 target-xxx
folders in the root folder of the QEMU source tree. More architectures
(e.g. RISC-V, AVR) are likely to be included soon, too, so the main
folder of the QEMU sources slowly gets quite overcrowded with the
target-xxx folders.
To disburden the main folder a little bit, let's move the target-xxx
folders into a dedicated target/ folder, so that target-xxx/ simply
becomes target/xxx/ instead.
