This change seems to have had the non-obvious effect of breaking the
powerpc KVM build.

Because struct kvm contains two srcu_structs which are located
before the kvm_arch struct, the increase in size of srcu_struct has
caused the offset from the start of struct kvm to kvm_arch to be too big
for some of our asm.

struct kvm {
	spinlock_t mmu_lock;
	struct mutex slots_lock;
	struct mm_struct *mm; /* userspace tied to this vm */
	struct kvm_memslots *memslots[KVM_ADDRESS_SPACE_NUM];
	struct srcu_struct srcu;
	struct srcu_struct irq_srcu;
        ...
	struct kvm_arch arch;


Example error:
  arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S:617: Error: operand out of range (0x000000000000b328 is not between 0xffffffffffff8000 and 0x0000000000007fff)

Where line 617 is:
  lwz	r7,KVM_LPID(r9)

And the KVM_LPID constant comes from asm-offsets.s. The diff of old vs
new is:

  -->KVM_LPID 17752 offsetof(struct kvm, arch.lpid)	 #
  +->KVM_LPID 45864 offsetof(struct kvm, arch.lpid)	 #


We can probably just fix it by changing the asm to keep the address of
kvm_arch in a register, and then offset from that.

cheers
