[RFCv3 00/17] PAPR HPT resizing, guest & host side

[David Gibson]

This is an implementation of the kernel parts of the PAPR hashed page
table (HPT) resizing extension.

It contains a complete guest-side implementation - or as complete as
it can be until we have a final PAPR change.

It also contains a draft host side implementation for KVM HV (the KVM
PR and TCG host-side implementations live in qemu).  This works, but
is very slow in the critical section (where the guest must be
stopped).  It is significantly slower than the TCG/PR implementation;
unusably slow for large hash tables (~2.8s for a 1G HPT).

I'm still looking into what's the cause of the slowness, and I'm not
sure yet if the current approach can be tweaked to be fast enough, or
if it will require a new approach.

Changes since RFCv2:
  * Completely new approach to handling KVM HV implementation.  Much
    simpler synchronization requirements, but also slower
  * Rebase to latest Linus' tree
  * Changed number for capability, so as not to collide
  * Host side now actually works
