KVM: PPC: Book3S: Add infrastructure to implement kernel-side RTAS calls

For pseries machine emulation, in order to move the interrupt
controller code to the kernel, we need to intercept some RTAS
calls in the kernel itself.  This adds an infrastructure to allow
in-kernel handlers to be registered for RTAS services by name.
A new ioctl, KVM_PPC_RTAS_DEFINE_TOKEN, then allows userspace to
associate token values with those service names.  Then, when the
guest requests an RTAS service with one of those token values, it
will be handled by the relevant in-kernel handler rather than being
passed up to userspace as at present.

Parameters: struct kvm_rtas_token_args
Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error
Defines a token value for a RTAS (Run Time Abstraction Services)
service in order to allow it to be handled in the kernel. The
argument struct gives the name of the service, which must be the name
of a service that has a kernel-side implementation. If the token
value is non-zero, it will be associated with that service, and
subsequent RTAS calls by the guest specifying that token will be
handled by the kernel. If the token value is 0, then any token
associated with the service will be forgotten, and subsequent RTAS
calls by the guest for that service will be passed to userspace to be
handled.
