Subject: powerpc/pseries: Query hypervisor for RFI flush settings

From: Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org>

commit 8989d56878a7735dfdb234707a2fee6faf631085 upstream.

A new hypervisor call is available which tells the guest settings
related to the RFI flush. Use it to query the appropriate flush
instruction(s), and whether the flush is required.
