Alexander Graf d5e528136c KVM: PPC: Add helper functions to call real mode loaders
Linux contains quite some bits of code to load FPU, Altivec and VSX lazily for
a task. It calls those bits in real mode, coming from an interrupt handler.

For KVM we better reuse those, so let's wrap a bit of trampoline magic around
them and then we can call them from normal module code.

Alexander Graf 021ec9c69f KVM: PPC: Call SLB patching code in interrupt safe manner
Currently we're racy when doing the transition from IR=1 to IR=0, from
the module memory entry code to the real mode SLB switching code.

To work around that I took a look at the RTAS entry code which is faced
with a similar problem and did the same thing:

  A small helper in linear mapped memory that does mtmsr with IR=0 and
  then RFIs info the actual handler.

Thanks to that trick we can safely take page faults in the entry code
and only need to be really wary of what to do as of the SLB switching
part.

Alexander Graf 0186fd0373 Export KVM symbols for module
To be able to keep KVM as module, we need to export the SLB trampoline
addresses to the module, so it knows where to jump to.
