Decrementers are now properly driven by TCR/TSR, and the guest
has full read/write access to these registers.

The decrementer keeps ticking (and setting the TSR bit) regardless of
whether the interrupts are enabled with TCR.

The decrementer stops at zero, rather than going negative.

Decrementers (and FITs, once implemented) are delivered as
level-triggered interrupts -- dequeued when the TSR bit is cleared, not
on delivery.

<title>KVM: PPC: Paravirtualize SPRG4-7, ESR, PIR, MASn</title>

This allows additional registers to be accessed by the guest
in PR-mode KVM without trapping.

SPRG4-7 are readable from userspace.  On booke, KVM will sync
these registers when it enters the guest, so that accesses from
guest userspace will work.  The guest kernel, OTOH, must consistently
use either the real registers or the shared area between exits.  This
also applies to the already-paravirted SPRG3.

On non-booke, it's not clear to what extent SPRG4-7 are supported
(they're not architected for book3s, but exist on at least some classic
chips).  They are copied in the get/set regs ioctls, but I do not see any
non-booke emulation.  I also do not see any syncing with real registers
(in PR-mode) including the user-readable SPRG3.  This patch should not
make that situation any worse.

As per specification the decrementer interrupt not happen when DEC is written
with 0. Also when DEC is zero, no decrementer running. So we should not start
hrtimer for decrementer when DEC = 0.

kvmppc_emulate_dec() uses dec_nsec of type unsigned long and does below calculation:

        dec_nsec = vcpu-&gt;arch.dec;
        dec_nsec *= 1000;
This will truncate if DEC value "vcpu-&gt;arch.dec" is greater than 0xffff_ffff/1000.
For example : For tb_ticks_per_usec = 4a, we can not set decrementer more than ~58ms.

The exit type setting for mfspr/mtspr is moved from 44x to toplevel SPR
emulation.  This enables it on e500, and makes sure that all SPRs
are covered.

Exit accounting for tlbwe and tlbsx is added to e500.

When in kernel mode there are 4 additional registers available that are
simple data storage. Instead of exiting to the hypervisor to read and
write those, we can just share them with the guest using the page.

This patch converts all users of the current field to the shared page.

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.
