The current VPHN parsing logic has some flaws that this patch aims to fix:
1) when the value 0xffff is read, the value 0xffffffff gets added to the
the output list and its element count isn't incremented. This is wrong.
According to PAPR+ the domain identifiers are packed into a sequence
terminated by the "reserved value of all ones". This means that 0xffff
is a stream terminator.
2) the combination of byteswaps and casts make the code hardly readable.
Let's parse the stream one 16-bit field at a time instead.
3) it is assumed that the hypercall returns 12 32-bit values packed into
6 64-bit registers. According to PAPR+, the domain identifiers may be
streamed as 16-bit values. Let's increase the number of expected numbers
to 24.

The goal behind this patch is to be able to write userland tests for the
VPHN parsing code.
