Some KVM functions for book3s_hv are called in real mode.
In real mode the top 4 bits of the address space are ignored,
hence an address beginning with 0xc0000000+offset is the
same as 0xd0000000+offset. The issue was observed when
a kvm memslot resolution lead to random values when
accessed from kvmppc_h_enter(). The issue is hit if the
KVM host is running with a page size of 4K, since
kvzalloc() looks at size < PAGE_SIZE. On systems with
64K the issue is not observed easily, it largely depends
on the size of the structure being allocated.

The proposed fix moves all KVM allocations for book3s_hv
to kzalloc() until all structures used in real mode are
audited. For safety allocations are moved to kmalloc
space. The impact is a large allocation on systems with
4K page size.
