POWER9 introduced a new variant of the eieio instruction using bit 6
as a hint to tell the CPU it is a store-forwarding barrier.
The usage of this eieio extension was recently added in Linux 4.17
which activated the "support for a store forwarding barrier at kernel
entry/exit".
Unfortunately, it is not possible to insert this new eieio instruction
without considerable change in ppc_tr_translate_insn(). So instead we
loosen the QEMU eieio instruction mask. The gen_eieio() helper is
modified to test for bit6 and a custom instruction flag to catch
invalid eieio opcodes on non-POWER9 CPUs.

Since we have to adapt the gen_eieio code anyway we don't really need
the new instruction flag - we can just reuse PPC2_ISA300 for it.

Logging is ok, but it's not enough in this context - that will turn
the variant eieio into a no-op. You need to actually generate an
invalid instruction exception here, which is what I assume will happen
if you try to execute the new variant on a POWER8:
gen_inval_exception(ctx, POWERPC_EXCP_INVAL_INVAL);

OK. That seems now a little superfluous, indeed. Unless there are more
or these instructions which depend on CPU revision. I don't know so
let's stick to PPC2_ISA300.

well, I didn't try but ISA says that :
"Reserved fields in instructions are ignored by the processor."
So it should be a no-op.
