ISA 3.00 adds the logical PVR value 0x0f000005, so add a definition for
this.

Define PCR_ARCH_207 to reflect ISA 2.07 compatibility mode in the processor
compatibility register (PCR).

The next patch changes the algorithm used to determine the required PCR
value in the function kvmppc_set_arch_compat(). We use the PCR_ARCH_XXX
bits to specify and determine the compatibility level which we want to
emulate as well as the compatibility levels which the host is capable
of emulating. To show that we can emulate a v3.00 guest (which is actually
a v3.00 host with no compatility bits set, at the moment) we need a
PCR_ARCH_300 bit to represent this, however currently there is no such bit
defined by the ISA. Thus we define a 'dummy' v3.00 compat bit to be used.

I don't want to bikeshed this to death, but I would suggest moving the
PCR_ARCH_300 definition to the next patch and to book3s_hv.c.  That
way you don't have to add the part of the comment that explains the
dummy value either.
