[PATCH kernel v3 0/5] powerpc/powernv/kvm: Invalidate multiple TCEs at once

So far TCE cache updates (IOMMU translation cache on POWER8/9
PHB/NPU units) were barely noticeable; however with 100+GB guests
we now see RCU stall warnings in guests because we spend too much
time in the host system firmware which does actual TCE cache
updates, hence this patchset.

This is a rework of
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1149003/
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1152985/ (cannot post link to the series
as it appears empty because of broken patchworks)

This depends on KVM-PPC's bugfix: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1152937/

I expect 1/5 to go via the PPC tree, 2/5 via the KVM-PPC tree,
3/5 via the VFIO tree and the rest via the PPC tree.

Changes:
v3:
* added 4/5 to fix compile error from 5/5
* added "Book3S" to 2/5's subject line


This is based on sha1
42ac26d253eb Santosh Sivaraj "powerpc: add machine check safe copy_to_user".

Please comment. Thanks.
