ePAPR defines the initial values of cpu registers. This patch initialize
the GPRs as per ePAPR specification.

This resolves the issue of guest reboot/reset (guest hang on reboot).

Why does it hang only on reboot, not on initial bootup?

Does ePAPR mention anything wrt GPR state of secondary CPUs?

What is this?

may be memory pointed by env pointer are zero initialized initially.
Reboot also not always hangs. I have seen reboot mostly working on e500v2/e500mc and mostly hanging on e5500.

Yes, I think we handle this in hw/ppc/ppce500_spin.c

Size of initial TLB ( should be big enough to cover kernel handler). I do not see ePAPR defines any value, I set this to 64M.

Yes, they're all zero initialized. I'm surprised that got things working.

It's dynamic. Please set it to the actual size of the initial TLB mapping we create.

Yes and no.  The entry point state for secondary CPUs depends on the
"enable-method" used to start the CPU.  The spin-table enable method
defined in ePAPR gives some information on GPR state, although the
constraints are much weaker than for the boot cpu.  Platform specific
enable-methods would have to define their own entry point requirements.

head_64.S assumes it's being booted from Open Firmware if r5 is  
non-zero -- this is why ePAPR requires r5 to be zero.
