This patch series implements the 4 instructions added in Power ISA
3.1B:

- hashchk
- hashst
- hashchkp
- hashstp

What do you think about the choice to implement the hash algorithm
from the ground up, following the SIMON-like algorithm presented in
Power ISA? IIUC, this algorithm is not the same as the original[1].
Other options would be to use other algorithm already implemented
in QEMU, or even make this instruction a nop for all Power versions.

Also, I was thinking about using the call to spr_register_kvm() in
init_proc_POWER10 to initialize the registers with a random value.
I'm not sure what is the behavior here, I would expect that is the job
of the OS to set the regs, but looks like KVM is not exporting them,
so they are always 0 (?). Does anyone have any insight on this?

v1->v2:
- Split the patch in 2
- Rebase to master
