[PATCH v3 00/22] powerpc: Add KUAP support for BOOKE and 40x

On booke/40x we don't have segments like book3s/32.
On booke/40x we don't have access protection groups like 8xx.

Use the PID register to provide user access protection.
Kernel address space can be accessed with any PID.
User address space has to be accessed with the PID of the user.
User PID is always not null.

Everytime the kernel is entered, set PID register to 0 and
restore PID register when returning to user.

Everytime kernel needs to access user data, PID is restored
for the access.

In TLB miss handlers, check the PID and bail out to data storage
exception when PID is 0 and accessed address is in user space.

Note that also forbids execution of user text by kernel except
when user access is unlocked. But this shouldn't be a problem
as the kernel is not supposed to ever run user text.

This series has:
- First five patches remove the complexity due to too much configurability of KUEP (ref https://github.com/linuxppc/issues/issues/379)
- Two following patches have already been submitted and are not directly related to KUAP but would conflict otherwise
- Patch 8 removes 'nosmep' kernel parameter.
- Following patches aim at refactoring the KUAP interface to reduce redundant platform specific code.
- Then comes patches 14 and 15 that add generic support frame for booke type processors
- Followed by the assembly modification for each of the 4 booke family types 
- Last patch removes CONFIG_PPC_HAVE_KUAP and CONFIG_PPC_HAVE_KUEP now that all powerpc platforms have KUAP and KUEP.

Changes in v3:
- Added the first five patches plus patch 8 to reduce the configurability of KUEP
- Patch 4 also adds missing KUEP support to book3e in 32 bits PTE mode.
- Modified 6 and 7 to also remove configurability of KUEP
- Patch 19 links KUEP to KUAP
- Last patch now removes both CONFIG_PPC_HAVE_KUAP and CONFIG_PPC_HAVE_KUEP

Changes in v2:
- Rebased on top of today's merge (trivial conflict with d93f9e23744b ("powerpc/32s: Fix kuap_kernel_restore()"))
- Fix missing check in bad_kuap_fault() which led to KUAP fault on platforms where KUAP was disabled (CI g5_defconfig)
- New patch to fix PPC_KUAP_DEBUG dependency
