This patch series adds basic POWER8 support and support for little-endian guests to HV KVM. The last patch implements support for the H_SET_XDABR hcall for POWER7 guests. The series is against the 'next' branch of the kvm tree as of a couple of days ago, plus the two bug-fix patches I posted recently ("Fix physical address calculations" and "Refine barriers in guest entry/exit"). POWER8 adds several new guest-accessible instructions, special-purpose registers, and other features such as doorbell interrupts and hardware transactional memory. It also adds new hypervisor-controlled features such as relocation-on interrupts, and replaces the DABR/DABRX registers with the new DAWR/DAWRX registers with expanded capabilities. The POWER8 CPU has compatibility modes for architecture 2.06 (POWER7/POWER7+) and 2.05 (POWER6). This series does not include the support for saving and restoring the transactional checkpointed state of the guest. For that, I need Ben's for-kvm branch to be merged to bring in the "powerpc: Put FP/VSX and VR state into structures" patch.
