POWER9 DD2.1 and earlier has an issue where some cache inhibited
vector load will return bad data. The workaround is two part, one
firmware/microcode part triggers HMI interrupts when hitting such
loads, the other part is this patch which then emulates the
instructions in Linux.
The affected instructions are limited to lxvd2x, lxvw4x, lxvb16x and
lxvh8x.
When an instruction triggers the HMI, all threads in the core will be
sent to the HMI handler, not just the one running the vector load.
In general, these spurious HMIs are detected by the emulation code and
we just return back to the running process. Unfortunately, if a
spurious interrupt occurs on a vector load that's to normal memory we
have no way to detect that it's spurious (unless we walk the page
tables, which is very expensive). In this case we emulate the load but
we need do so using a vector load itself to ensure 128bit atomicity is
preserved.
Some additional debugfs emulated instruction counters are added also.

The Kconfig symbol 8XX_MINIMAL_FPEMU was removed in commit 968219fa33
("powerpc/8xx: Remove 8xx specific "minimal FPU emulation""). But that
commit didn't remove all code depending on that symbol. Do so now.

The nmi parameter indicated if we could do wakeups from the current
context, if not, we would set some state and self-IPI and let the
resulting interrupt do the wakeup.
For the various event classes:
- hardware: nmi=0; PMI is in fact an NMI or we run irq_work_run from
the PMI-tail (ARM etc.)
- tracepoint: nmi=0; since tracepoint could be from NMI context.
- software: nmi=[0,1]; some, like the schedule thing cannot
perform wakeups, and hence need 0.
As one can see, there is very little nmi=1 usage, and the down-side of
not using it is that on some platforms some software events can have a
jiffy delay in wakeup (when arch_irq_work_raise isn't implemented).
The up-side however is that we can remove the nmi parameter and save a
bunch of conditionals in fast paths.

The DSCR (aka Data Stream Control Register) is supported on some
server PowerPC chips and allow some control over the prefetch
of data streams.
This patch allows the value to be specified per thread by emulating
the corresponding mfspr and mtspr instructions. Children of such
threads inherit the value. Other threads use a default value that
can be specified in sysfs - /sys/devices/system/cpu/dscr_default.
If a thread starts with non default value in the sysfs entry,
all children threads inherit this non default value even if
the sysfs value is changed later.

various classes of emulated instructions under
/sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/emulated_instructions/ (assumed debugfs is mounted on
/sys/kernel/debug). Optionally (controlled by
/sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/emulated_instructions/do_warn), rate-limited warnings
can be printed to the console when instructions are emulated.
