Load external pid (lwepx) execution faults, generated by KVM accessing
guest contexts, needs to be handled by KVM. In the current implementation
the host kernel handles lwepx faults, searching for the faulting address
with its own Logical Partition ID (LPID) context! In case a host
translation is found, the execution returns to the lwepx instruction
instead of the fixup ending up in an infinite loop.
Revert the commit 1d628af7 "add load inst fixup". We will address lwepx
issue in a subsequent patch without the need of fixups.
