KVM: PPC: Book3S PR: Add guest MSR parameter for kvmppc_save_tm()/kvmppc_restore_tm()
HV KVM and PR KVM need different MSR source to indicate whether treclaim. or trecheckpoint. is necessary. This patch add new parameter (guest MSR) for these kvmppc_save_tm/ kvmppc_restore_tm() APIs: - For HV KVM, it is VCPU_MSR - For PR KVM, it is current host MSR or VCPU_SHADOW_SRR1 This enhancement enables these 2 APIs to be reused by PR KVM later. And the patch keeps HV KVM logic unchanged. This patch also reworks kvmppc_save_tm()/kvmppc_restore_tm() to have a clean ABI: r3 for vcpu and r4 for guest_msr. During kvmppc_save_tm/kvmppc_restore_tm(), the R1 need to be saved or restored. Currently the R1 is saved into HSTATE_HOST_R1. In PR KVM, we are going to add a C function wrapper for kvmppc_save_tm/kvmppc_restore_tm() where the R1 will be incremented with added stackframe and save into HSTATE_HOST_R1. There are several places in HV KVM to load HSTATE_HOST_R1 as R1, and we don't want to bring risk or confusion by TM code. This patch will use HSTATE_SCRATCH2 to save/restore R1 in kvmppc_save_tm/kvmppc_restore_tm() to avoid future confusion, since the r1 is actually a temporary/scratch value to be saved/stored.
