POWER secure guests (i.e., guests which use the Protected Execution
Facility) need to use SWIOTLB to be able to do I/O with the
hypervisor, but they don't need the SWIOTLB memory to be in low
addresses since the hypervisor doesn't have any addressing limitation.
This solves a SWIOTLB initialization problem we are seeing in secure
guests with 128 GB of RAM: they are configured with 4 GB of
crashkernel reserved memory, which leaves no space for SWIOTLB in low
addresses.
To do this, we use mostly the same code as swiotlb_init(), but
allocate the buffer using memblock_alloc() instead of
memblock_alloc_low().

Secure guests need to share the DTL buffers with the hypervisor. To that
end, use a kmem_cache constructor which converts the underlying buddy
allocated SLUB cache pages into shared memory.

LPPACA structures need to be shared with the host. Hence they need to be in
shared memory. Instead of allocating individual chunks of memory for a
given structure from memblock, a contiguous chunk of memory is allocated
and then converted into shared memory. Subsequent allocation requests will
come from the contiguous chunk which will be always shared memory for all
structures.
While we are able to use a kmem_cache constructor for the Debug Trace Log,
LPPACAs are allocated very early in the boot process (before SLUB is
available) so we need to use a simpler scheme here.
Introduce helper is_svm_platform() which uses the S bit of the MSR to tell
whether we're running as a secure guest.
