These three patches are required for correct operation of perf counters on
POWER8 boxes when running KVM guests. There were two bugs; not clearing MMCR2
and writing over the saved value when entering a guest. However the first
obscured the second.
Thanks to who mpe helped diagnose the issue and pointed out the fix.
