Yep. This is similar with what I had in my internal version before emulation
refactoring took place upstream. The only difference is that I split the embedded
and server implementation touching this files:
	arch/powerpc/include/asm/kvm_booke.h
	arch/powerpc/include/asm/kvm_book3s.h

Which approach do you prefer?

Why to send it as a pointer? rt which should be rather named t in this case
is an [in] value for tlbilx, according to section 6.11.4.9 in the PowerISA 2.06b.
