KVM: PPC: e500: Add shadow PID support



Dynamically assign host PIDs to guest PIDs, splitting each guest PID into
multiple host (shadow) PIDs based on kernel/user and MSR[IS/DS].  Use
both PID0 and PID1 so that the shadow PIDs for the right mode can be
selected, that correspond both to guest TID = zero and guest TID = guest
PID.

This allows us to significantly reduce the frequency of needing to
invalidate the entire TLB.  When the guest mode or PID changes, we just
update the host PID0/PID1.  And since the allocation of shadow PIDs is
global, multiple guests can share the TLB without conflict.

Note that KVM does not yet support the guest setting PID1 or PID2 to
a value other than zero.  This will need to be fixed for nested KVM
to work.  Until then, we enforce the requirement for guest PID1/PID2
to stay zero by failing the emulation if the guest tries to set them
to something else.
