Anything I can do to help move these along? It's a big performance
improvement for FreeBSD guests.

I've been running with these patches and a FreeBSD guest for a while
now and they work very well, providing big performance improvements in
tight memory situations. Thanks! I did have to patch QEMU to enable
the hypercalls, however -- it might be worth adding them to the
default set since these calls are mandated by PAPR as part of the base
hypercall interface.

This adds implementations for the H_CLEAR_REF (test and clear reference
bit) and H_CLEAR_MOD (test and clear changed bit) hypercalls.
When clearing the reference or change bit in the guest view of the HPTE,
we also have to clear it in the real HPTE so that we can detect future
references or changes. When we do so, we transfer the R or C bit value
to the rmap entry for the underlying host page so that kvm_age_hva_hv(),
kvm_test_age_hva_hv() and kvmppc_hv_get_dirty_log() know that the page
has been referenced and/or changed.
These hypercalls are not used by Linux guests and these implementations
are only compile tested.
