[PATCH v4 10/16] powerpc/pseries/svm: Unshare all pages before kexecing a new kernel

From: Ram Pai <linuxram at us.ibm.com>
A new kernel deserves a clean slate. Any pages shared with the hypervisor
is unshared before invoking the new kernel. However there are exceptions.
If the new kernel is invoked to dump the current kernel, or if there is a
explicit request to preserve the state of the current kernel, unsharing
of pages is skipped.
NOTE: While testing crashkernel, make sure at least 256M is reserved for
crashkernel. Otherwise SWIOTLB allocation will fail and crash kernel will
fail to boot.
