There is a device tree property "/chosen/linux,stdout-path" which indicates
which device should be used as stdout - ie. "the console".
Currently we don't specify anything, which means both firmware and Linux
choose something arbitrarily. Use the routine we added in the last patch
to pick a default vty and specify it as stdout.
Currently SLOF doesn't use the property, but we are hoping to update it
to do so.

For forgotten historical reasons, PAPR hypercalls for specific virtual IO
devices (oh which there are quite a number) are registered via a callback
in the VIOsPAPRDeviceInfo structure.
This is kind of ugly, so this patch instead registers hypercalls from
device_init() functions for each device type. This works just as well,
and is cleaner.

The pseries machine of qemu implements the TCE mechanism used as a
virtual IOMMU for the PAPR defined virtual IO devices. Because the
PAPR spec only defines a small DMA address space, the guest VIO
drivers need to update TCE mappings very frequently - the virtual
network device is particularly bad. This means many slow exits to
qemu to emulate the H_PUT_TCE hypercall.
Sufficiently recent kernels allow this to be mitigated by implementing
H_PUT_TCE in the host kernel. To make use of this, however, qemu
needs to initialize the necessary TCE tables, and map them into itself
so that the VIO device implementations can retrieve the mappings when
they access guest memory (which is treated as a virtual DMA
operation).
This patch adds the necessary calls to use the KVM TCE acceleration.
If the kernel does not support acceleration, or there is some other
error creating the accelerated TCE table, then it will still fall back
to full userspace TCE implementation.

Paulo Bonzini changed the original spapr code, which manually assigned irq
numbers for each virtual device, to allocate them automatically from the
device initialization. That allowed spapr virtual devices to be constructed
with -device, which is a good start. However, the way that patch worked
doesn't extend nicely for the future when we want to support devices other
than sPAPR VIO devices (e.g. virtio and PCI).
This patch rearranges the irq allocation to be global across the sPAPR
environment, so it can be used by other bus types as well.

Right now the spapr devices cannot be instantiated with -device,
because the IRQs need to be passed to the spapr_*_create functions.
Do this instead in the bus's init wrapper.
This is particularly important with the conversion from scsi-disk
to scsi-{cd,hd} that Markus made. After his patches, if you
specify a scsi-cd device attached to an if=none drive, the default
VSCSI controller will not be created and, without qdevification,
you will not be able to add yours.

Currently the qemu pseries machine numbers its virtual serial devices
from 0. However, existing pSeries machines running pHyp number them from
0x30000000.
In theory these indices are arbitrary, since everything necessary for the
kernel to find them is advertised in the device tree. However the debian
installer, at least, incorrectly looks for a device named vty@30... to
determine whether to use the hypervisor console.
Therefore this patch moves the numbers we use to match the existing pHyp
practice, in order to workaround broken userspace apps of this type.

Usually, PAPR virtual IO devices use a virtual IOMMU mechanism, TCEs,
to mediate all DMA transfers. While this is necessary for some sorts of
operation, it can be complex to program and slow for others.
This patch implements a mechanism for bypassing TCE translation, treating
"IO" addresses as plain (guest) physical memory addresses. This has two
main uses:
* Simple, but 64-bit aware programs like firmwares can use the VIO devices
without the complexity of TCE setup.
* The guest OS can optionally use the TCE bypass to improve performance in
suitable situations.
The mechanism used is a per-device flag which disables TCE translation.
The flag is toggled with some (hypervisor-implemented) RTAS methods.
