On book3e, KVM uses load external pid (lwepx) dedicated instruction to read
guest last instruction on the exit path. lwepx exceptions (DTLB_MISS, DSI
and LRAT), generated by loading a guest address, needs to be handled by KVM.
These exceptions are generated in a substituted guest translation context
(EPLC[EGS] = 1) from host context (MSR[GS] = 0).

Currently, KVM hooks only interrupts generated from guest context (MSR[GS] = 1),
doing minimal checks on the fast path to avoid host performance degradation.
lwepx exceptions originate from host state (MSR[GS] = 0) which implies
additional checks in DO_KVM macro (beside the current MSR[GS] = 1) by looking
at the Exception Syndrome Register (ESR[EPID]) and the External PID Load Context
Register (EPLC[EGS]). Doing this on each Data TLB miss exception is obvious
too intrusive for the host.

Read guest last instruction from kvmppc_load_last_inst() by searching for the
physical address and kmap it. This address the TODO for TLB eviction and
execute-but-not-read entries, and allow us to get rid of lwepx until we are
able to handle failures.

A simple stress benchmark shows a 1% sys performance degradation compared with
previous approach (lwepx without failure handling):

time for i in `seq 1 10000`; do /bin/echo > /dev/null; done

real    0m 8.85s
user    0m 4.34s
sys     0m 4.48s

vs

real    0m 8.84s
user    0m 4.36s
sys     0m 4.44s

An alternative solution, to handle lwepx exceptions in KVM, is to temporary
highjack the interrupt vector from host. Some cores share host IVOR registers
between hardware threads, which is the case of FSL e6500, which impose 
additional
synchronization logic for this solution to work. This optimized solution can
be developed later on top of this patch.

v3:
  - reworked patch description
  - use unaltered kmap addr for kunmap
  - get last instruction before beeing preempted

v2:
  - reworked patch description
  - used pr_* functions
  - addressed cosmetic feedback

I think you can just put this into a function.

Scott, I think the patch overall looks quite good. Can you please check as well and if you agree give it your reviewed-by? Mike, when Scott gives you a reviewed-by, please include it for the next version.
