This patch adds support for running Cortex-A7 guests on Cortex-A7 hosts.
As Cortex-A7 is architecturally compatible with A15, this patch is largely just
generalising existing code. Areas where 'implementation defined' behaviour
is identical for A7 and A15 is moved to allow it to be used by both cores.
The check to ensure that coprocessor register tables are sorted correctly is
also moved in to 'common' code to avoid each new cpu doing its own check
(and possibly forgetting to do so!)

As requested by the KVM maintainers, remove the addprefix used to
refer to the main KVM code from the arch code, and replace it with
a KVM variable that does the same thing.

As KVM/arm64 is looming on the horizon, it makes sense to move some
of the common code to a single location in order to reduce duplication.
The code could live anywhere. Actually, most of KVM is already built
with a bunch of ugly ../../.. hacks in the various Makefiles, so we're
not exactly talking about style here. But maybe it is time to start
moving into a less ugly direction.
The include files must be in a "public" location, as they are accessed
from non-KVM files (arch/arm/kernel/asm-offsets.c).
For this purpose, introduce two new locations:
- virt/kvm/arm/ : x86 and ia64 already share the ioapic code in
virt/kvm, so this could be seen as a (very ugly) precedent.
- include/kvm/ : there is already an include/xen, and while the
intent is slightly different, this seems as good a location as
any
Eventually, we should probably have independant Makefiles at every
levels (just like everywhere else in the kernel), but this is just
the first step.

In order to be able to correctly profile what is happening on the
host, we need to be able to identify when we're running on the guest,
and log these events differently.
Perf offers a simple way to register callbacks into KVM. Mimic what
x86 does and enjoy being able to profile your KVM host.

The exit handler selection code cannot be shared with arm64
(two different modes, more exception classes...).
Move it to a separate file (handle_exit.c).

Implement the PSCI specification (ARM DEN 0022A) to control
virtual CPUs being "powered" on or off.
PSCI/KVM is detected using the KVM_CAP_ARM_PSCI capability.
A virtual CPU can now be initialized in a "powered off" state,
using the KVM_ARM_VCPU_POWER_OFF feature flag.
The guest can use either SMC or HVC to execute a PSCI function.

When the guest accesses I/O memory this will create data abort
exceptions and they are handled by decoding the HSR information
(physical address, read/write, length, register) and forwarding reads
and writes to QEMU which performs the device emulation.
Certain classes of load/store operations do not support the syndrome
information provided in the HSR. We don't support decoding these (patches
are available elsewhere), so we report an error to user space in this case.
This requires changing the general flow somewhat since new calls to run
the VCPU must check if there's a pending MMIO load and perform the write
after userspace has made the data available.

Adds a new important function in the main KVM/ARM code called
handle_exit() which is called from kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() on returns
from guest execution. This function examines the Hyp-Syndrome-Register
(HSR), which contains information telling KVM what caused the exit from
the guest.
Some of the reasons for an exit are CP15 accesses, which are
not allowed from the guest and this commit handles these exits by
emulating the intended operation in software and skipping the guest
instruction.
Minor notes about the coproc register reset:
1) We reserve a value of 0 as an invalid cp15 offset, to catch bugs in our
table, at cost of 4 bytes per vcpu.
2) Added comments on the table indicating how we handle each register, for
simplicity of understanding.

Targets KVM support for Cortex A-15 processors.
Contains all the framework components, make files, header files, some
tracing functionality, and basic user space API.
Only supported core is Cortex-A15 for now.
Most functionality is in arch/arm/kvm/* or arch/arm/include/asm/kvm_*.h.
