I did most of this as part of 

[RFC PATCH 01/10] KVM: PPC: BOOK3S: PR: Add POWER8 support
http://mid.gmane.org/1390927455-3312-1-git-send-email-aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com

Any reason why that is not picked up ? TM was the reason I didn't push the
patchset again. I was not sure how to get all the TM details to
