POWER9 DD1 silicon has some bugs which mean it a) isn't really compliant
with the ISA v3.00 and b) require a number of special workarounds in the
kernel.
At the moment, qemu isn't aware of DD1. For TCG we don't really want it to
be (why bother emulating buggy silicon). But with KVM, the guest does need
to be aware of DD1 so it can apply the necessary workarounds.
Meanwhile, the feature negotiation between qemu and the guest strongly
favours architected compatibility modes to "raw" CPU modes. In combination
with the above, this means the guest sees architected POWER9 mode, and
doesn't apply the DD1 workarounds. Well, unless it has yet another
workaround to partially ignore what qemu tells it.
This patch addresses this by disabling support for compatibility modes when
using KVM on a POWER9 DD1 host.

This logical PVR value now corresponds to ISA version 3.00 so rename it
accordingly.

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.
