KVM: PPC: Book3S PR: Add math support for PR KVM HTM

Browse source

The math registers will be saved into vcpu->arch.fp/vr and corresponding
vcpu->arch.fp_tm/vr_tm area.

We flush or giveup the math regs into vcpu->arch.fp/vr before saving
transaction. After transaction is restored, the math regs will be loaded
back into regs.

If there is a FP/VEC/VSX unavailable exception during transaction active
state, the math checkpoint content might be incorrect and we need to do
treclaim./load the correct checkpoint val/trechkpt. sequence to retry the
transaction. That will make our solution complicated. To solve this issue,
we always make the hardware guest MSR math bits (shadow_msr) consistent
with the MSR val which guest sees (kvmppc_get_msr()) when guest msr is
with tm enabled. Then all FP/VEC/VSX unavailable exception can be delivered
to guest and guest handles the exception by itself.
