KVM: PPC: selftests: add support for powerpc
This commit implements KVM selftests support for powerpc (Book3S-64),
including virtual memory for the radix MMU and guest interrupt handling
in real-mode. It also updates various types and adapts to the new page
table allocator APIs.

[Severity: Low]
Are we missing a prerequisite patch for the selftests core infrastructure?
Building the tests for powerpc fails in virt_arch_pgd_alloc() because
vm_alloc_page_table_pages() is undefined.

[Severity: Low]
Is the definition for vm_alloc_page_table_pages() missing from the tree?
Calling this in __vm_alloc_pt() leads to an undefined function build failure.

[Severity: Low]
Is the definition for ____vm_phy_pages_alloc() with 6 arguments missing?
Calling this undefined function in kvm_arch_vm_post_create() causes a build
failure when compiling the powerpc KVM selftests.
