Suraj Jitindar Singh fd10be2573 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Handle page fault for a nested guest
Consider a normal (L1) guest running under the main hypervisor (L0),
and then a nested guest (L2) running under the L1 guest which is acting
as a nested hypervisor. L0 has page tables to map the address space for
L1 providing the translation from L1 real address -> L0 real address;

	L1
	|
	| (L1 -> L0)
	|
	----> L0

There are also page tables in L1 used to map the address space for L2
providing the translation from L2 real address -> L1 read address. Since
the hardware can only walk a single level of page table, we need to
maintain in L0 a "shadow_pgtable" for L2 which provides the translation
from L2 real address -> L0 real address. Which looks like;

	L2				L2
	|				|
	| (L2 -> L1)			|
	|				|
	----> L1			| (L2 -> L0)
	      |				|
	      | (L1 -> L0)		|
	      |				|
	      ----> L0			--------> L0

When a page fault occurs while running a nested (L2) guest we need to
insert a pte into this "shadow_pgtable" for the L2 -> L0 mapping. To
do this we need to:

1. Walk the pgtable in L1 memory to find the L2 -> L1 mapping, and
   provide a page fault to L1 if this mapping doesn't exist.
2. Use our L1 -> L0 pgtable to convert this L1 address to an L0 address,
   or try to insert a pte for that mapping if it doesn't exist.
3. Now we have a L2 -> L0 mapping, insert this into our shadow_pgtable

Once this mapping exists we can take rc faults when hardware is unable
to automatically set the reference and change bits in the pte. On these
we need to:

1. Check the rc bits on the L2 -> L1 pte match, and otherwise reflect
   the fault down to L1.
2. Set the rc bits in the L1 -> L0 pte which corresponds to the same
   host page.
3. Set the rc bits in the L2 -> L0 pte.

As we reuse a large number of functions in book3s_64_mmu_radix.c for
this we also needed to refactor a number of these functions to take
an lpid parameter so that the correct lpid is used for tlb invalidations.
The functionality however has remained the same.
