KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Handle migration with POWER9 disabled DAWR

Browse source

POWER9 with the DAWR disabled causes problems for partition
migration. Either we have to fail the migration (since we lose the
DAWR) or we silently drop the DAWR and allow the migration to pass.

This patch does the latter and allows the migration to pass (at the
cost of silently losing the DAWR). This is not ideal but hopefully the
best overall solution. This approach has been acked by Paulus.

With this patch kvmppc_set_one_reg() will store the DAWR in the vcpu
but won't actually set it on POWER9 hardware.
