changes since v3:
- use kvmppc namespace
- MPP_BUFFER_ORDER of 3 not 4, as we only need 32k and it's already 32k aligned
- split out kvmppc_vcore_create in separate patch
- give a variable a better name: s/tmp/mpp_addr/
- logmpp becomes static inline function

Stewart Smith (2):
  Split out struct kvmppc_vcore creation to separate function
  Use the POWER8 Micro Partition Prefetch Engine in KVM HV on POWER8
