[PATCH v3 0/6] KVM: PPC: Nested APIv2 guest support

A nested-HV API for PAPR has been developed based on the KVM-specific
nested-HV API that is upstream in Linux/KVM and QEMU. The PAPR API had
to break compatibility to accommodate implementation in other
hypervisors and partitioning firmware. The existing KVM-specific API
will be known as the Nested APIv1 and the PAPR API will be known as the
Nested APIv2.
The control flow and interrupt processing between L0, L1, and L2 in
the Nested APIv2 are conceptually unchanged. Where Nested APIv1 is almost
stateless, the Nested APIv2 is stateful, with the L1 registering L2 virtual
machines and vCPUs with the L0. Supervisor-privileged register switching
duty is now the responsibility for the L0, which holds canonical L2
register state and handles all switching. This new register handling
motivates the "getters and setters" wrappers to assist in syncing the
L2s state in the L1 and the L0.
Broadly, the new hcalls will be used for creating and managing guests
by a regular partition in the following way:
- L1 and L0 negotiate capabilities with
H_GUEST_{G,S}ET_CAPABILITIES
- L1 requests the L0 create a L2 with
H_GUEST_CREATE and receives a handle to use in future hcalls
- L1 requests the L0 create a L2 vCPU with
H_GUEST_CREATE_VCPU
- L1 sets up the L2 using H_GUEST_SET and the
H_GUEST_VCPU_RUN input buffer
- L1 requests the L0 runs the L2 vCPU using H_GUEST_VCPU_RUN
- L2 returns to L1 with an exit reason and L1 reads the
H_GUEST_VCPU_RUN output buffer populated by the L0
- L1 handles the exit using H_GET_STATE if necessary
- L1 reruns L2 vCPU with H_GUEST_VCPU_RUN
- L1 frees the L2 in the L0 with H_GUEST_DELETE
Further details are available in Documentation/powerpc/kvm-nested.rst.
This series adds KVM support for using this hcall interface as a regular
PAPR partition, i.e. the L1. It does not add support for running as the
L0.
The new hcalls have been implemented in the spapr qemu model for
testing.

testing nested guests at https://github.com/iamjpn/kvm-powervm-test
