KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add new capability to control MCE behaviour
This introduces a new KVM capability to control how KVM behaves on machine check exception (MCE) in HV KVM guests. If this capability has not been enabled, KVM redirects machine check exceptions to guest's 0x200 vector, if the address in error belongs to the guest. With this capability enabled, KVM will cause a guest exit with the exit reason indicating an NMI. The new capability is required to avoid problems if a new kernel/KVM is used with an old QEMU, running a guest that doesn't issue "ibm,nmi-register". As old QEMU does not understand the NMI exit type, it treats it as a fatal error. However, the guest could have handled the machine check error if the exception was delivered to guest's 0x200 interrupt vector instead of NMI exit in case of old QEMU.
