[PATCH] powerpc/64s: catch external interrupts going to host in POWER9

After setting LPES0 in the host on POWER9, the host external interrupt
handler no longer works correctly, because it's set to HV mode (HSRR)
for POWER7/8 with LPES0 clear. We don't expect to get any EE in the host
with XIVE, but it seems preferable to catch unexpected interrupts in case
there are bugs or unexpected behaviour.

Hi,

I was testing the LPES0 code on POWER9 under mambo, which exploded
because I didn't use --enable-xive_interrupts so the host was getting
EEs.

Errant 0x500 in the host will end up hrfid'ing to uninitialized HSRR[01]
which ends up dying in interesting ways. Should we add this patch to
Ben's xive topic branch that sets LPES0? (Or do you rebase topic branches?
It could be rolled up with that particular patch if so).

Thanks,
Nick
