[PATCH v2 01/20] powerpc/64: Don't try to use radix MMU under a hypervisor

[Paul Mackerras]

Currently, if the kernel is running on a POWER9 processor under a
hypervisor, it will try to use the radix MMU even though it doesn't
have the necessary code to use radix under a hypervisor (it doesn't
negotiate use of radix, and it doesn't do the H_REGISTER_PROC_TBL
hcall).  The result is that the guest kernel will crash when it tries
to turn on the MMU.

This fixes it by looking for the /chosen/ibm,architecture-vec-5
property, and if it exists, clears the radix MMU feature bit,
before we decide whether to initialize for radix or HPT.  This
property is created by the hypervisor as a result of the guest
calling the ibm,client-architecture-support method to indicate
its capabilities, so it will indicate whether the hypervisor
agreed to us using radix.

Systems without a hypervisor may have this property also (for
example, skiboot creates it), so we check the HV bit in the MSR
to see whether we are running as a guest or not.  If we are in
hypervisor mode, then we can do whatever we like including
using the radix MMU.

The reason for using this property is that in future, when we
have support for using radix under a hypervisor, we will need
to check this property to see whether the hypervisor agreed to
us using radix.
