We just introduced generic segment switching code that only needs to call
small macros to do the actual switching, but keeps most of the entry / exit
code generic.
So let's move the SLB switching code over to use this new mechanism.

We have a 32 bit value in the PACA to store XER in. We also do an stw
when storing XER in there. But then we load it with ld, completely
screwing it up on every entry.

Currently we're racy when doing the transition from IR=1 to IR=0, from
the module memory entry code to the real mode SLB switching code.
To work around that I took a look at the RTAS entry code which is faced
with a similar problem and did the same thing:
A small helper in linear mapped memory that does mtmsr with IR=0 and
then RFIs info the actual handler.
Thanks to that trick we can safely take page faults in the entry code
and only need to be really wary of what to do as of the SLB switching
part.

To fetch the last instruction we were interrupted on, we enable DR in early
exit code, where we are still in a very transitional phase between guest
and host state.
Most of the time this seemed to work, but another CPU can easily flush our
TLB and HTAB which makes us go in the Linux page fault handler which totally
breaks because we still use the guest's SLB entries.
To work around that, let's introduce a second KVM guest mode that defines
that whenever we get a trap, we don't call the Linux handler or go into
the KVM exit code, but just jump over the faulting instruction.
That way a potentially bad lwz doesn't trigger any faults and we can later
on interpret the invalid instruction we fetched as "fetch didn't work".

We're being horribly racy right now. All the entry and exit code hijacks
random fields from the PACA that could easily be used by different code in
case we get interrupted, for example by a #MC or even page fault.
After discussing this with Ben, we figured it's best to reserve some more
space in the PACA and just shove off some vcpu state to there.
That way we can drastically improve the readability of the code, make it
less racy and less complex.

When we're loading bolted entries into the SLB again, we're checking if an
entry is in use and only slbmte it when it is.
Unfortunately, the check always goes to the skip label of the first entry,
resulting in an endless loop when it actually gets triggered.

This is the really low level of guest entry/exit code.
Book3s_64 has an SLB, which stores all ESID -> VSID mappings we're
currently aware of.
The segments in the guest differ from the ones on the host, so we need
to switch the SLB to tell the MMU that we're in a new context.
So we store a shadow of the guest's SLB in the PACA, switch to that on
entry and only restore bolted entries on exit, leaving the rest to the
Linux SLB fault handler.
That way we get a really clean way of switching the SLB.
