[RFC PATCH] KVM: PPC: Book3s HV: Allow setting GTSE for the nested guest

We're currently getting a Program Interrupt inside the nested guest
kernel when running with GTSE disabled in the nested hypervisor. We
allow any guest a cmdline override of GTSE for migration purposes. The
nested guest does not know it needs to use the option and tries to run
'tlbie' with LPCR_GTSE=0.

The details are a bit more intricate:

QEMU always sets GTSE=1 in OV5 even before calling KVM. At prom_init,
guests use the OV5 value to set MMU_FTR_GTSE. This setting can be
overridden by 'radix_hcall_invalidate=on' in the kernel cmdline. The
option itself depends on the availability of
FW_FEATURE_RPT_INVALIDATE, which it tied to QEMU's cap-rpt-invalidate
capability.

The MMU_FTR_GTSE flag leads guests to set PROC_TABLE_GTSE in their
process tables and after H_REGISTER_PROC_TBL, both QEMU and KVM will
set LPCR_GTSE=1 for that guest. Unless the guest uses the cmdline
override, in which case:

  MMU_FTR_GTSE=0 -> PROC_TABLE_GTSE=0 -> LPCR_GTSE=0

We don't allow the nested hypervisor to set some LPCR bits for its
nested guests, so if the nested HV has LPCR_GTSE=0, its nested guests
will also have LPCR_GTSE=0. But since the only thing that can really
flip GTSE is the cmdline override, if a nested guest runs without it,
then the sequence goes:

  MMU_FTR_GTSE=1 -> PROC_TABLE_GTSE=1 -> LPCR_GTSE=0.

With LPCR_GTSE=0 the HW will treat 'tlbie' as HV privileged.

This patch allows a nested HV to set LPCR_GTSE for its nested guests
so the LPCR setting will match what the nested guest sees in OV5.
