This reduces radix guest full entry/exit latency on POWER9 and POWER10
by almost 2x.

Nested HV guests should see smaller improvements in their L1 entry/exit,
but this is also combined with most L0 speedups also applying to nested
entry. nginx localhost throughput test in a SMP nested guest is improved
about 10% (in a direct guest it doesn't change much because it uses XIVE
for IPIs) when L0 and L1 are patched.

It does this in several main ways:

- Rearrange code to optimise SPR accesses. Mainly, avoid scoreboard
  stalls.

- Test SPR values to avoid mtSPRs where possible. mtSPRs are expensive.

- Reduce mftb. mftb is expensive.

- Demand fault certain facilities to avoid saving and/or restoring them
  (at the cost of fault when they are used, but this is mitigated over
  a number of entries, like the facilities when context switching 
  processes). PM, TM, and EBB so far.

- Defer some sequences that are made just in case a guest is interrupted
  in the middle of a critical section to the case where the guest is
  scheduled on a different CPU, rather than every time (at the cost of
  an extra IPI in this case). Namely the tlbsync sequence for radix with
  GTSE, which is very expensive.

This also adds the 2nd round patches to the series, which improve
performance mostly by reducing locking, barriers, and atomics related
to the vcpus-per-vcore > 1 handling that the P9 path does not require.

Some of the numbers quoted in changelogs may have changed a bit with
patches being updated, reordered, etc. They give a bit of a guide, but
I might remove them from the final submission because they're too much
to maintain.

Changes since RFC:
- Rebased with Fabiano's HV sanitising patches at the front.
- Several demand faulting bug fixes mostly relating to nested guests.
- Removed facility demand-faulting from L0 nested entry/exit handler.
  Demand faulting is still done in the L1, but not the L0. The reason
  is to reduce complexity (although it's only a small amount of
  complexity), reduce demand faulting overhead that may require several
  interrupts, and allow better testing of the L1 demand faulting,
  because we may run on hypervisors that do not implement L0 demand
  faulting. In future, depending on performance and such, we could add
  demand faulting to L0 nested entry handling and/or remove it from the
  L1.
- Fixed a timebase problem with the HMI subcore patch.
