POWER8 introduces transactional memory which brings along a number of new

Implementing all of those is a pretty big headache, so for now let's at least
emulate enough to make Linux's context switching code happy.

This comment doesn't make sense to me. Not every reason code reported
in the high bits of FSCR corresponds directly to an enable bit in
FSCR. In fact, of the 7 defined reason codes in POWER8, only three
correspond to an enable bit...
Is there any documentation on which relate to what?

+ if ((fac != FSCR_TM_LG) && !(vcpu->arch.fscr & (1ULL << fac))) {
so this should really check explicitly for TAR, EBB or DSCR.
