KVM: PPC: Book3S PR: Enable MSR_DR for switch_mmu_context()

Commit 863771a28e27 ("powerpc/32s: Convert switch_mmu_context() to C")
moved the switch_mmu_context() to C. While in principle a good idea, it
meant that the function now uses the stack. The stack is not accessible
from real mode though.

So to keep calling the function, let's turn on MSR_DR while we call it.
That way, all pointer references to the stack are handled virtually.

In addition, make sure to save/restore r12 on the stack, as it may get
clobbered by the C function.

KVM: PPC: book3s_pr: Simplify transitions between virtual and real mode

This simplifies the way that the book3s_pr makes the transition to
real mode when entering the guest. We now call kvmppc_entry_trampoline
(renamed from kvmppc_rmcall) in the base kernel using a normal function
call instead of doing an indirect call through a pointer in the vcpu.
If kvm is a module, the module loader takes care of generating a
trampoline as it does for other calls to functions outside the module.

kvmppc_entry_trampoline then disables interrupts and jumps to
kvmppc_handler_trampoline_enter in real mode using an rfi[d].
That then uses the link register as the address to return to
(potentially in module space) when the guest exits.

This also simplifies the way that we call the Linux interrupt handler
when we exit the guest due to an external, decrementer or performance
monitor interrupt. Instead of turning on the MMU, then deciding that
we need to call the Linux handler and turning the MMU back off again,
we now go straight to the handler at the point where we would turn the
MMU on. The handler will then return to the virtual-mode code
(potentially in the module).

Along the way, this moves the setting and clearing of the HID5 DCBZ32
bit into real-mode interrupts-off code, and also makes sure that
we clear the MSR[RI] bit before loading values into SRR0/1.

The net result is that we no longer need any code addresses to be
stored in vcpu->arch.

KVM: PPC: Add SR swapping code

Later in this series we will move the current segment switch code to
generic code and make that call hooks for the specific sub-archs (32
vs. 64 bit). This is the hook for 32 bits.

It enabled the entry and exit code to swap segment registers with
values from the shadow cpu structure.
