This patch adds a pseries machine to qemu. This aims to emulate a
logical partition on an IBM pSeries machine, compliant to the
PowerPC Architecture Platform Requirements (PAPR) document.
This initial version is quite limited, it implements a basic machine
and PAPR hypercall emulation. So far
This extends the pseries (PAPR) machine to include a virtual IO bus
supporting the PAPR defined hypercall based virtual IO mechanisms.
So far only one VIO device is provided, the vty / vterm, providing
a full console (polled only, for now).

This patch implements the infrastructure and hypercalls necessary for
the PAPR specified Virtual SCSI interface. This is the normal method
for providing (virtual) disks to PAPR partitions.

Usually, PAPR virtual IO devices use a virtual IOMMU mechanism, TCEs,
to mediate all DMA transfers. While this is necessary for some sorts of
operation, it can be complex to program and slow for others.
This patch implements a mechanism for
Shared-processor partitions are those where a CPU is time-sliced between
partitions, rather than being permanently dedicated to a single
partition. qemu emulated partitions, since they are just scheduled with
the qemu user process, behave mostly like shared processor partitions.
In order to
This patch implements the necessary infrastructure and hypercalls for
sPAPR's TCE (Translation Control Entry) IOMMU mechanism. This is necessary
for all virtual IO devices which do DMA (i.e. nearly all of them).

Now that we have implemented the PAPR xics virtualized interrupt
controller, we can add interrupts in PAPR VIO devices. This patch adds
interrupt support to the PAPR virtual tty/console device.

The slb_lookup() function, used in the ppc translation path returns a
number of slb entry fields in reference parameters. However, only one
of the two callers of slb_lookup() actually wants this information.
This patch, therefore, makes slb_lookup() return a simple pointer to the
located SLB
Currently the path handling hash page table translation in get_segment()
has a mix of common and 32 or 64 bit specific code. However the
division is not done terribly well which results in a lot of messy code
flipping between common and divided paths.
This patch improves the organization,
