The flush_tlb hook in cpu_spec was introduced as a generic function hook
to invalidate TLBs. But the current implementation of flush_tlb hook
takes IS (invalidation selector) as an argument which is architecture
dependent. Hence, It is not right to have a generic routine where caller
has to pass non-generic argument.
This patch fixes this and makes flush_tlb hook as high level API.

This patch enables POWER8 doorbell IPIs on powernv.
Since doorbells can only IPI within a core, we test to see when we can use
doorbells and if not we fall back to XICS. This also enables hypervisor
doorbells to wakeup us up from nap/sleep via the LPCR PECEDH bit.
Based on tests by Anton, the best case IPI latency between two threads dropped
from 894ns to 512ns.

Turn them on at the same time as we allow MSR_IR/DR in the paca
kernel MSR, ie, after the MMU has been setup enough to be able
to handle relocated access to the linear mapping.

This patch introduces flush_tlb operation in cpu_spec structure. This will
help us to invoke appropriate CPU-side flush tlb routine. This patch
adds the foundation to invoke CPU specific flush routine for respective
architectures. Currently this patch introduce flush_tlb for p7 and p8.

In __restore_cpu_power8 we determine if we are HV and if not, we return
before setting HV only resources.
Unfortunately we forgot to restore the link register from r11 before
returning.
This will happen on boot and with secondary CPUs not coming online.
This adds the missing link register restore.

Setup the HFSCR (Hypervisor Facility Status and Control Register) for POWER8
when running HV=1. The HFSCR is the same as the FSCR except it's for
hypervisors. It controls the available of various facilities in OS and
userspace levels. It also indicates the cause of a hypervisor facility
unavailable interrupt (although we are not using this here).
This patch sets the facilities Linux knows about incase the firmware doesn't.

We support DSCR (Data Stream Control Register) so we should make sure we set it
in the FSCR (Facility Status & Control Register) incase some firmwares don't
set it. If we don't set this, we'll take a facility unavailable exception when
using the DSCR.

Currently we only set the FSCR (Facility Status and Control Register) when HV=1
but this feature is available when HV=0 also. This patch sets FSCR when HV=0.
Also, we currently only set the FSCR on the master CPU. This patch also sets
the FSCR on secondary CPUs.

This patch adds support for enabling and context switching the Target
Address Register in Power8. The TAR is a new special purpose register
that can be used for computed branches with the bctar[l] (branch
conditional to TAR) instruction in the same manner as the count and link
registers.

We want to change what's initially set in the LPCR, so start by taking the move
from LPCR out of the function and into the caller.
