[PATCH 2/3] kvmppc: add hypercall infrastructure - guest part v3

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

This adds the guest portion of the hypercall infrastructure.

Version 3 now follows the beat ABI, but proposes a new implementation style as
static inline asm functions instead of pure assembler code. That should allow
the compiler to be more flexible and therefore a better optimization.

If people agree on that new implementation style we might merge this code.
The current implementation of beat style hypercalls can be found in
arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/beat_hvCall.S
