This fixes a couple more bits of fallout from the new hard lockup watchdog
patch.
It restores the required hw_nmi_get_sample_period() function for the
perf watchdog, and removes some function declarations on 64e that are only
defined for 64s. This fixes the 64e build when the hardlockup detector is
enabled.
It restores the default behaviour of disabling the perf watchdog, and also
fixes disabling the 64s watchdog when running as a guest.

Implement an arch-speicfic watchdog rather than use the perf-based
hardlockup detector.
The new watchdog takes the soft-NMI directly, rather than going through
perf. Perf interrupts are to be made maskable in future, so that would
prevent the perf detector from working in those regions.
Additionally, implement a SMP based detector where all CPUs watch one
another by pinging a shared cpumask. This is because powerpc Book3S
does not have a true periodic local NMI, but some platforms do implement
a true NMI IPI.
If a CPU is stuck with interrupts hard disabled, the soft-NMI watchdog
does not work, but the SMP watchdog will. Even on platforms without a
true NMI IPI to get a good trace from the stuck CPU, other CPUs will
notice the lockup sufficiently to report it and panic.

Our PV guest patching code assembles chunks of instructions on the fly when it
encounters more complicated instructions to hijack. These instructions need
to live in a section that we don't mark as non-executable, as otherwise we
fault when jumping there.
Right now we put it into the .bss section where it automatically gets marked
as non-executable. Add a check to the NX setting function to ensure that we

This allows additional registers to be accessed by the guest
in PR-mode KVM without trapping.
SPRG4-7 are readable from userspace. On booke, KVM will sync
these registers when it enters the guest, so that accesses from
guest userspace will work. The guest kernel, OTOH, must consistently
use either the real registers or the shared area between exits. This
also applies to the already-paravirted SPRG3.
On non-booke, it's not clear to what extent SPRG4-7 are supported
(they're not architected for book3s, but exist on at least some classic
chips). They are copied in the get/set regs ioctls, but I do not see any
non-booke emulation. I also do not see any syncing with real registers
(in PR-mode) including the user-readable SPRG3. This patch should not

There is also a form of mtmsr where all bits need to be addressed. While the

This patch still only contains stubs. But at least it loops through the
text section :).

We have all the hypervisor pieces in place now, but the guest parts are still
missing.
This patch implements basic awareness of KVM when running Linux as guest. It
doesn't do anything with it yet though.

To communicate with KVM directly we need to plumb some sort of interface
between the guest and KVM. Usually those interfaces use hypercalls.
This hypercall implementation is described in the last patch of the series
in a special documentation file. Please read that for further information.
This patch implements stubs to handle KVM PPC hypercalls on the host and
guest side alike.
