If it doesn't, a malicious SVM would be able to call UV reserved Hcall like
H_SVM_INIT_ABORT, etc... which is not a good idea.

That's another way to do so, but since the SVM Hcall are going through the UV,
it seems the right place (the UV) to do the filtering.

I'm not convinced that would be better, and I followed the way checks for other
Hcalls has been made (see H_TLB_INVALIDATE,..).
I agree kvmppc_pseries_do_hcall() is long but this is just a big switch(),
quite linear.
