Due to previous changes, the Book3S_32 guest MMU code didn't compile properly
when enabling debugging.
This patch repairs the broken code paths, making it possible to define DEBUG_MMU
and friends again.

We need to tell the guest the opcodes that make up a hypercall through
interfaces that are controlled by userspace. So we need to add a call
for userspace to allow it to query those opcodes so it can pass them
on.
This is required because the hypercall opcodes can change based on
the hypervisor conditions. If we're running in hardware accelerated
hypervisor mode, a hypercall looks different from when we're running
without hardware acceleration.

There is also a form of mtmsr where all bits need to be addressed. While the
PPC64 Linux kernel behaves resonably well here, on PPC32 we do not have an
L=1 form. It does mtmsr even for simple things like only changing EE.
So we need to hook into that one as well and check for a mask of bits that we
deem safe to change from within guest context.

The PowerPC ISA has a special instruction for mtmsr that only changes the EE
and RI bits, namely the L=1 form.
Since that one is reasonably often occuring and simple to implement, let's
go with this first. Writing EE=0 is always just a store. Doing EE=1 also
requires us to check for pending interrupts and if necessary exit back to the
hypervisor.

When we hook an instruction we need to make sure we don't clobber any of
the registers at that point. So we write them out to scratch space in the
magic page. To make sure we don't fall into a race with another piece of
hooked code, we need to disable interrupts.
To make the later patches and code in general easier readable, let's introduce
a set of defines that save and restore r30, r31 and cr. Let's also define some
helpers to read the lower 32 bits of a 64 bit field on 32 bit systems.

We will soon require more sophisticated methods to replace single instructions
with multiple instructions. We do that by branching to a memory region where we
write replacement code for the instruction to.
This region needs to be within 32 MB of the patched instruction though, because
that's the furthest we can jump with immediate branches.
So we keep 1MB of free space around in bss. After we're done initing we can just
tell the mm system that the unused pages are free, but until then we have enough
space to fit all our code in.

When running in hooked code we need a way to disable interrupts without

To achieve this, we have an additional critical field in the shared page. If

that we're in such a critical section and thus may not receive any interrupts.

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.

One of the most obvious registers to share with the guest directly is the
MSR. The MSR contains the "interrupts enabled" flag which the guest has to
toggle in critical sections.
So in order to bring the overhead of interrupt en- and disabling down, let's
put msr into the shared page. Keep in mind that even though you can fully read
its contents, writing to it doesn't always update all state. There are a few
safe fields that don't require hypervisor interaction. See the documentation
for a list of MSR bits that are safe to be set from inside the guest.
