[PATCH v2 0/4] powerpc: stolen time accounting for VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN

pseries provides stolen time accounting when VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE
is selected, but not when VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN is. We like GEN
because it's less code in arch/powerpc, allows full nohz, and distros
have moved to it, so this series adds stolen time accounting for GEN,
and moves our pseries configs over to it.

Thanks,
Nick

Since v1:
- Move the KVM patches out of this series to make it smaller.
  I'll post them separately.
- Fix compilation bug in patch 2 due to missing header in patch.
- Add defconfig changes to patch 3.
- Add tidy up patch 4.
- Improve changelogs.

  powerpc/pseries: Add wait interval counter definitions to struct
    lppaca
  powerpc/pseries: Implement CONFIG_PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING
  powerpc/64: Remove PPC64 special case for cputime accounting default
  powerpc/pseries: Move dtl scanning and steal time accounting to
    pseries platform
