[PATCH 3/3] kvmppc: magic page paravirtualization - guest part

From: Christian Ehrhardt <ehrhardt at linux.vnet.ibm.com>
This patch adds the guest handling for the magic page mechanism. A Hypervisor
can modify the device tree passed to the guest. Using that already existing
interface a guest can simply detect available hypervisor features and agree
on the supported ones using hypercalls.
In this example it is checked for the feature switch "feature,pv-magicpage"
in the hypervisor node and additional data which represents the size the
hypervisor requests in "data,pv-magicpage-size".
When the guest reads that data and wants to support it the memory is allocated
and passed to the hypervisor using the KVM_HCALL_RESERVE_MAGICPAGE hypercall.
