KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: H_ENTER filter out reserved HPTE[B] value
The HPTE B field is a 2-bit field with values 0b10 and 0b11 reserved. This field is also taken from the HPTE and used when KVM executes TLBIEs to set the B field of those instructions. Disallow the guest setting B to a reserved value with H_ENTER by rejecting it. This is the same approach already taken for rejecting reserved (unsupported) LLP values. This prevents the guest from being able to induce the host to execute TLBIE with reserved values, which is not known to be a problem with current processors but in theory it could prevent the TLBIE from working correctly in a future processor.
