This series attempts to improve the speed of interrupts and system calls
in three major ways.

Firstly, the SRR/HSRR registers do not need to be reloaded if they were
clobbered for the duration of the interrupt and the return NIP and MSR
did not changed. 64e does not implement this part, but it could quite
easily.

Secondly, mtmsrd and mtspr are reduced by various means, this is mostly
specific to 64s.

Lastly, an alternate interrupt return location facility is added for
soft-masked asynchronous interrupts, and then that's used to set
everything up for return without having to disable MSR RI or EE.

After this series, the entire system call / interrupt handler fast path
can execute with no mtsprs and one mtmsrd to enable interrupts
initially, and the system call vectored path doesn't even need to do
that. This gives a decent performance benefit. On POWER9 with a
powernv_defconfig without VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE, no meltdown
workarounds, gettid sc system call goes from 481 -> 344 cycles, gettid
scv 345->299 cycles, and page fault 1225->1064 cycles.

Changes since v1: 
- Rebased to upstream
- Reordered paches, updated comments and changelogs.
- Clean ups, fixed ppc32 compile breakage.
- Fixed missing srr invalidations in KVM guest entry/exit.
- Dropped the security fallback rework from the start of the series
  because it's quite complicated to change. Instead for now the
  incompatible fallbacks just disable the interrupts-enabled exits.

Thanks,
Nick
