Merge branch 'kvm-ppc-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc into HEAD

The highlights are:

* Enable VFIO device on PowerPC, from David Gibson
* Optimizations to speed up IPIs between vcpus in HV KVM,
  from Suresh Warrier (who is also Suresh E. Warrier)
* In-kernel handling of IOMMU hypercalls, and support for dynamic DMA
  windows (DDW), from Alexey Kardashevskiy.

4.97 KVM_CAP_PPC_MULTITCE
Capability: KVM_CAP_PPC_MULTITCE
Architectures: ppc
Type: vm
This capability means the kernel is capable of handling hypercalls
H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT and H_STUFF_TCE without passing those into the user
space. This significantly accelerates DMA operations for PPC KVM guests.
User space should expect that its handlers for these hypercalls
are not going to be called if user space previously registered LIOBN
in KVM (via KVM_CREATE_SPAPR_TCE or similar calls).
In order to enable H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT and H_STUFF_TCE use in the guest,
user space might have to advertise it for the guest. For example,
IBM pSeries (sPAPR) guest starts using them if "hcall-multi-tce" is
present in the "ibm,hypertas-functions" device-tree property.
The hypercalls mentioned above may or may not be processed successfully
in the kernel based fast path. If they can not be handled by the kernel,
they will get passed on to user space. So user space still has to have
an implementation for these despite the in kernel acceleration.
This capability is always enabled.
4.98 KVM_CREATE_SPAPR_TCE_64
Capability: KVM_CAP_SPAPR_TCE_64
Architectures: powerpc
Type: vm ioctl
Parameters: struct kvm_create_spapr_tce_64 (in)
Returns: file descriptor for manipulating the created TCE table
This is an extension for KVM_CAP_SPAPR_TCE which only supports 32bit
windows, described in 4.62 KVM_CREATE_SPAPR_TCE
This capability uses extended struct in ioctl interface:
/* for KVM_CAP_SPAPR_TCE_64 */
struct kvm_create_spapr_tce_64 {
__u64 liobn;
__u32 page_shift;
__u32 flags;
__u64 offset; /* in pages */
__u64 size; /* in pages */
};
The aim of extension is to support an additional bigger DMA window with
a variable page size.
KVM_CREATE_SPAPR_TCE_64 receives a 64bit window size, an IOMMU page shift and
a bus offset of the corresponding DMA window, @size and @offset are numbers
of IOMMU pages.
@flags are not used at the moment.
The rest of functionality is identical to KVM_CREATE_SPAPR_TCE.
