[PATCH v2 0/9] improve early structure allocations (paca, lppaca, etc)

I last posted this series here,
http://marc.info/?l=linuxppc-embedded&m=150068630827162&w=2
Since then it's become apparent that NUMA allocation support was not
quite right and will require some fiddly rejigging of the early dt
parsing to make it work. So I've dropped those NUMA patches from the
series for now.
The series relaxes memory allocation limits on various platforms (e.g.,
powernv has no RMA restriction, radix has no SLB restriction, etc). It
also avoids unnecessary allocations (powernv does not require lppaca,
radix does not require SLB).
Finally, it moves paca and lppaca allocations from a single big array
to a table of pointers. This gets to a point where we can easily
allocate these on local node if we had the topology info available at
the time of allocation (which we don't at the moment).
I also found a small KVM bug I think (patch 1).
Thanks,
Nick

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix H_REGISTER_VPA VPA size validation
powerpc/powernv: powernv platform is not constrained by RMA
powerpc/powernv: Remove real mode access limit for early allocations
powerpc/64s/radix: Remove bolted-SLB address limit for per-cpu stacks
powerpc/64s: Relax PACA address limitations
powerpc/64s/radix: Do not allocate SLB shadow structures
powerpc/64s: do not allocate lppaca if we are not virtualized
powerpc/64: Use a table of paca pointers and allocate pacas
individually
powerpc/64: Use a table of lppaca pointers and allocate lppacas
individually
