POWER9 CPUs have independent MMU contexts per thread, so KVM does not
need to quiesce secondary threads, so the hwthread_req/hwthread_state
protocol does not have to be used. So patch it away on POWER9, and patch
away the branch from the Linux idle wakeup to kvm_start_guest that is
never used.

Add a warning and error out of kvmppc_grab_hwthread in case it is ever
called on POWER9.

This avoids a hwsync in the idle wakeup path on POWER9.

If/when we add support for running HPT guests on a radix host, we will
have to run the host in single-threaded mode (since POWER9 doesn't
support having some threads of a core using HPT and some using radix
simultaneously).  We'll then need some sort of thing like
kvmppc_grab_hwthread to coordinate with the threads so that guests can
use the secondary threads.

So I think most of this code should stay.  We will still need to have
a way to make sure that the secondaries are in real mode and not in a
guest, because all threads will need to be in real mode when switching
the core between radix and HPT mode.  Maybe we can optimize it a bit
at present given that we don't yet support running HPT guests on a
radix host, but I don't want to make it harder to do that in future.

Paul.

Okay, most of the code's still there, just noped out with ARCH_300.
But yes this and then the subsequent patches do make it more
difficult to restore the KVM real mode functionality.

I'll see about restructuring them to keep that ability and make it
selectable with a minimal branchs or alt patches.

Thanks,
Nick
