Paul Mackerras 7ed661bf85 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Restructure HPT entry creation code
This restructures the code that creates HPT (hashed page table)
entries so that it can be called in situations where we don't have a
struct vcpu pointer, only a struct kvm pointer.  It also fixes a bug
where kvmppc_map_vrma() would corrupt the guest R4 value.

Most of the work of kvmppc_virtmode_h_enter is now done by a new
function, kvmppc_virtmode_do_h_enter, which itself calls another new
function, kvmppc_do_h_enter, which contains most of the old
kvmppc_h_enter.  The new kvmppc_do_h_enter takes explicit arguments
for the place to return the HPTE index, the Linux page tables to use,
and whether it is being called in real mode, thus removing the need
for it to have the vcpu as an argument.

Currently kvmppc_map_vrma creates the VRMA (virtual real mode area)
HPTEs by calling kvmppc_virtmode_h_enter, which is designed primarily
to handle H_ENTER hcalls from the guest that need to pin a page of
memory.  Since H_ENTER returns the index of the created HPTE in R4,
kvmppc_virtmode_h_enter updates the guest R4, corrupting the guest R4
in the case when it gets called from kvmppc_map_vrma on the first
VCPU_RUN ioctl.  With this, kvmppc_map_vrma instead calls
kvmppc_virtmode_do_h_enter with the address of a dummy word as the
place to store the HPTE index, thus avoiding corrupting the guest R4.
