powerpc/e500: add paravirt QEMU platform

This gives the kernel a paravirtualized machine to target, without
requiring both sides to pretend to be targeting a specific board
that likely has little to do with the host in KVM scenarios.  This
avoids the need to add new boards to QEMU just to be able to
run KVM on new CPUs.

As this is the first platform that can run with either e500v2 or
e500mc, CONFIG_PPC_E500MC is now a legitimately user configurable
option, so add a help text.

+	  This option enables support for running as a QEMU guest using
+	  QEMU's generic e500 machine.  This is not required if you're
+	  using a QEMU machine that targets a specific board, such as
+	  mpc8544ds.
+
+	  Unlike most e500 boards that target a specific CPU, this
+	  platform works with any e500-family CPU that QEMU supports.
+	  Thus, you'll need to make sure CONFIG_PPC_E500MC is set or
+	  unset based on the emulated CPU (or actual host CPU in the case
+	  of KVM).
