Recent Linux versions use the CFAR and PURR SPRs, but don't really care about
their contents (yet). So for now, we can simply return 0 when the guest wants
to read them.

We have 3 privilege levels: problem state, supervisor state and hypervisor
state. Each of them can access different SPRs, so we need to check on every
SPR if it's accessible in the respective mode.

The current approach duplicates the spr->bat finding logic and makes it harder
to reuse the actually used variables. So let's move everything down to the spr
handler.

The SRR0 and SRR1 registers contain cached values of the PC and MSR
respectively. They get written to by the hypervisor when an interrupt
occurs or directly by the kernel. They are also used to tell the rfi(d)
instruction where to jump to.
Because it only gets touched on defined events that, it's very simple to
share with the guest. Hypervisor and guest both have full r/w access.
This patch converts all users of the current field to the shared page.

The DAR register contains the address a data page fault occured at. This
register behaves pretty much like a simple data storage register that gets
written to on data faults. There is no hypervisor interaction required on
read or write.

The DSISR register contains information about a data page fault. It is fully
read/write from inside the guest context and we don't need to worry about
interacting based on writes of this register.

One of the most obvious registers to share with the guest directly is the
MSR. The MSR contains the "interrupts enabled" flag which the guest has to
toggle in critical sections.
So in order to bring the overhead of interrupt en- and disabling down, let's
put msr into the shared page. Keep in mind that even though you can fully read
its contents, writing to it doesn't always update all state. There are a few
safe fields that don't require hypervisor interaction. See the documentation
for a list of MSR bits that are safe to be set from inside the guest.

When we're on a paired single capable host, we can just always enable
paired singles and expose them to the guest directly.
This approach breaks when multiple VMs run and access PS concurrently,
but this should suffice until we get a proper framework for it in Linux.

Some code we had so far required defines and had code that was completely
Book3S_64 specific. Since we now opened book3s.c to Book3S_32 too, we need
to take care of these pieces.
So let's add some minor code where it makes sense to not go the Book3S_64
code paths and add compat defines on others.

We already have some inline fuctions we use to access vcpu or svcpu structs,
depending on whether we're on booke or book3s. Since we just put a few more
registers into the svcpu, we also need to make sure the respective callbacks
are available and get used.
So this patch moves direct use of the now in the svcpu struct fields to
inline function calls. While at it, it also moves the definition of those
inline function calls to respective header files for booke and book3s,
greatly improving readability.

We have quite some code that can be used by Book3S_32 and Book3S_64 alike,
so let's call it "Book3S" instead of "Book3S_64", so we can later on
use it from the 32 bit port too.
