Handle Hypervisor Maintenance Interrupt (HMI) in Linux. This patch implements
basic infrastructure to handle HMI in Linux host. The design is to invoke
opal handle hmi in real mode for recovery and set irq_pending when we hit HMI.
During check_irq_replay pull opal hmi event and print hmi info on console.

<title>powerpc: Remove misleading DISABLE_INTS</title>

DISABLE_INTS has a long and storied history, but for some time now it
has not actually disabled interrupts.

For the open-coded exception handlers, just stop using it, instead call
RECONCILE_IRQ_STATE directly. This has the benefit of removing a level
of indirection, and making it clear that r10 &amp; r11 are used at that
point.

For the addition case we still need a macro, so rename it to clarify
what it actually does.

binutils is smart enough to know that a branch to a function
descriptor is actually a branch to the functions text address.

Alan tells me that binutils has been doing this for 9 years.

In EXCEPTION_PROLOG_COMMON() we check to see if the stack pointer (r1)
is valid when coming from the kernel.  If it's not valid, we die but
with a nice oops message.

Currently we allocate a stack frame (subtract INT_FRAME_SIZE) before we
check to see if the stack pointer is negative.  Unfortunately, this
won't detect a bad stack where r1 is less than INT_FRAME_SIZE.

This patch fixes the check to compare the modified r1 with
-INT_FRAME_SIZE.  With this, bad kernel stack pointers (including NULL
pointers) are correctly detected again.

Kudos to Paulus for finding this.

This patch splits the common exception prolog logic into three parts to
facilitate reuse of existing code in the next patch. This patch also
re-arranges few instructions in such a way that the second part now deals
with saving register values from paca save area to stack frame, and
the third part deals with saving current register values to stack frame.

The second and third part will be reused in the machine check exception
routine in the subsequent patch.

Please note that this patch does not introduce or change existing code
logic. Instead it is just a code movement and instruction re-ordering.

Patch Acked-by Paul. But made some minor modification (explained above) to
address Paul's comment in the later patch(3).

With this patch if HV is included, interrupts come in to the HV version
of the kvmppc_interrupt code, which then jumps to the PR handler,
renamed to kvmppc_interrupt_pr, if the guest is a PR guest. This helps
in enabling both HV and PR, which we do in later patch
