The powerpc Linux kernel[1] and skiboot firmware[2] recently gained changes
that cause the Processor Compatibility Register (PCR) SPR to be cleared.
These changes cause Linux to fail to boot on the Qemu powernv machine
with an error:
Trying to write privileged spr 338 (0x152) at 0000000030017f0c
With this patch Qemu makes this register available as a hypervisor
privileged register.
Note that bits set in this register disable features of the processor.
Currently the only register state that is supported is when the register
is zeroed (enable all features). This is sufficient for guests to
once again boot.

The Partition Table Control Register (PTCR) is a hypervisor privileged
SPR. It contains the host real address of the Partition Table and its
size.

The PIDR (process id register) is used to store the id of the currently
running process, which is used to select the process table entry used to
perform address translation. This means that when we write to this register
all the translations in the TLB become outdated as they are for a
previously running process. Thus when this register is written to we need
to invalidate the TLB entries to ensure stale entries aren't used to
to perform translation for the new process, which would result in at best
segfaults or alternatively just random memory being accessed.

At present the SDR1 register - the base of the system's hashed page table
(HPT) - is represented as an SPR with supervisor read and write permission.
However, on CPUs which have a hypervisor mode, the SDR1 is a hypervisor
only resource. Change the permission checking on the SPR to reflect this.
Now that this is done, we don't need to check for an external HPT executing
mtsdr1: an external HPT only applies when we're emulating the behaviour of
a hypervisor, rather than modelling the CPU's hypervisor mode internally,
so if we're permitted to execute mtsdr1, we don't have an external HPT.

We have never has the concept of global TLB entries which would avoid
the flush so we never actually use this flag. Drop it and make clear
that tlb_flush is the sledge-hammer it has always been.

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.
