kvm/ppc/mpic: in-kernel MPIC emulation
Hook the MPIC code up to the KVM interfaces, add locking, etc. Signed-off-by: Scott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com> [agraf: add stub function for kvmppc_mpic_set_epr, non-booke, 64bit] Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

+MPIC interrupt controller
+=========================
+
+Device types supported:
+ KVM_DEV_TYPE_FSL_MPIC_20 Freescale MPIC v2.0
+ KVM_DEV_TYPE_FSL_MPIC_42 Freescale MPIC v4.2
+
+Only one MPIC instance, of any type, may be instantiated. The created
+MPIC will act as the system interrupt controller, connecting to each
+vcpu's interrupt inputs.
+
+Groups:
+ KVM_DEV_MPIC_GRP_MISC
+ Attributes:
+ KVM_DEV_MPIC_BASE_ADDR (rw, 64-bit)
+ Base address of the 256 KiB MPIC register space. Must be
+ naturally aligned. A value of zero disables the mapping.
+ Reset value is zero.
+
+ KVM_DEV_MPIC_GRP_REGISTER (rw, 32-bit)
+ Access an MPIC register, as if the access were made from the guest.
+ "attr" is the byte offset into the MPIC register space. Accesses
+ must be 4-byte aligned.
+
+ MSIs may be signaled by using this attribute group to write
+ to the relevant MSIIR.
+
+ KVM_DEV_MPIC_GRP_IRQ_ACTIVE (rw, 32-bit)
+ IRQ input line for each standard openpic source. 0 is inactive and 1
+ is active, regardless of interrupt sense.
+
+ For edge-triggered interrupts: Writing 1 is considered an activating
+ edge, and writing 0 is ignored. Reading returns 1 if a previously
+ signaled edge has not been acknowledged, and 0 otherwise.
+
+ "attr" is the IRQ number. IRQ numbers for standard sources are the
+ byte offset of the relevant IVPR from EIVPR0, divided by 32.
