[RFC PATCH v0 2/5] KVM: PPC: Add support for KVM_REQ_ESN_EXIT

Add a new KVM exit request KVM_REQ_ESN_EXIT that will be used
to exit to userspace (QEMU) whenever subvention notification
needs to be sent to the guest.

The userspace (QEMU) issues the subvention notification by
injecting an interrupt into the guest.
