We have some debug information at /sys/kernel/debug/kvm/<vm>/vcpu#/timings
which shows the time it takes to run various parts of the code.

That infrastructure was written in the P8 timeframe and wasn't updated
along with the guest entry point changes for P9.

Ideally we would be able to just add new/different accounting points
to the code as it changes over time but since the P8 and P9 entry
points are different code paths we first need to separate them from
each other. This series alters KVM Kconfig to make that distinction.

Currently:
CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_EXIT_TIMING - timing infrastructure in asm (P8 only)
				   timing infrastructure in C (P9 only)
				   generic timing variables (P8/P9)
				   debugfs code
                                   timing points for P8

After this series:
CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_EXIT_TIMING - generic timing variables (P8/P9)
				   debugfs code

CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_P8_TIMING - timing infrastructure in asm (P8 only)
			         timing points for P8

CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_P9_TIMING - timing infrastructure in C (P9 only)
			         timing points for P9

The new Kconfig rules are:

a) CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_P8_TIMING selects CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_EXIT_TIMING,
   resulting in the previous behavior. Tested on P8.

b) CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_P9_TIMING selects CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_EXIT_TIMING,
   resulting in the new behavior. Tested on P9.

c) CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_P8_TIMING and CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_P9_TIMING
   are mutually exclusive. If both are set, P9 takes precedence.
