On POWER, the valid page sizes that the guest can use are bound
to the CPU and not to the memory region. QEMU already has some
fancy logic to find out the right maximum memory size to tell
it to the guest during boot (see getrampagesize() in the file
target/ppc/kvm.c for more information).
However, once we're booted and the guest is using huge pages
already, it is currently still possible to hot-plug memory regions
that does not support huge pages - which of course does not work
on POWER, since the guest thinks that it is possible to use huge
pages everywhere. The KVM_RUN ioctl will then abort with -EFAULT,
QEMU spills out a not very helpful error message together with
a register dump and the user is annoyed that the VM unexpectedly
died.
To avoid this situation, we should check the page size of hot-plugged
DIMMs to see whether it is possible to use it in the current VM.
If it does not fit, we can print out a better error message and
refuse to add it, so that the VM does not die unexpectely and the
user has a second chance to plug a DIMM with a matching memory
backend instead.

The 'cpu_version' field in PowerPCCPU is badly named. It's named after the
'cpu-version' device tree property where it is advertised, but that meaning
may not be obvious in most places it appears.
Worse, it doesn't even really correspond to that device tree property. The
property contains either the processor's PVR, or, if the CPU is running in
a compatibility mode, a special "logical PVR" representing which mode.
Rename the cpu_version field, and a number of related variables to
compat_pvr to make this clearer.

These are not needed since linux-headers/ provides up-to-date definitions.
The constants are in linux-headers/asm-powerpc/kvm.h.
The sole users, hw/intc/xics_kvm.c and target/ppc/kvm.c, include asm/kvm.h
via sysemu/kvm.h->linux/kvm.h.

We've currently got 18 architectures in QEMU, and thus 18 target-xxx
folders in the root folder of the QEMU source tree. More architectures
(e.g. RISC-V, AVR) are likely to be included soon, too, so the main
folder of the QEMU sources slowly gets quite overcrowded with the
target-xxx folders.
To disburden the main folder a little bit, let's move the target-xxx
folders into a dedicated target/ folder, so that target-xxx/ simply
becomes target/xxx/ instead.
