KVM: PPC: Allow I/O mappings in memory slots



This provides for the case where userspace maps an I/O device into the
address range of a memory slot using a VM_PFNMAP mapping.  In that
case, we work out the pfn from vma->vm_pgoff, and record the cache
enable bits from vma->vm_page_prot in two low-order bits in the
slot_phys array entries.  Then, in kvmppc_h_enter() we check that the
cache bits in the HPTE that the guest wants to insert match the cache
bits in the slot_phys array entry.  However, we do allow the guest to
create what it thinks is a non-cacheable or write-through mapping to
memory that is actually cacheable, so that we can use normal system
memory as part of an emulated device later on.  In that case the actual
HPTE we insert is a cacheable HPTE.
