[PATCH 4/6] kvmppc: magic page hypercall - host part

From: Christian Ehrhardt <ehrhardt at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This adds the host part of the magic page registration. This is a memory
area of the guest granted to the host.
The patch just introduces the infrastruture to receive the guest paddr.
This is work in progress and it is intended to later on use this memory
as storage area a guest can read unprivileged (using binary rewriting to
change privileges instructions).
