KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add a new KVM device for the XIVE native exploitation mode

Browse source

This is the basic framework for the new KVM device supporting the XIVE
native exploitation mode. The user interface exposes a new KVM device
to be created by QEMU, only available when running on a L0 hypervisor.
Support for nested guests is not available yet.

The XIVE device reuses the device structure of the XICS-on-XIVE device
as they have a lot in common. That could possibly change in the future
if the need arise.
