Primary motivation for this series is to improve big-core support.

This also fixes POWER8 SMT running Linux with the msgsnd fix and
setting lpar-per-core mode (which is always true on POWER8).

I think I accounted for all feedback from Cedric and Harsh from the
last RFC (except a couple of style suggestions from Harsh).

Since rfc:
- Fixed POWER8 SMT so it doesn't have to be disabled.
- Fixed inadvertent spapr SMT bug.
- Renamed PnvCPUState.core pointer to pnv_core. (Harsh)
- Moved where it is initialised (clg)
- Avoided most qdev_get_machine() calls by adding a PnvMachineState
  pointer from PnvChip, new patch 3 (clg).
- Rename TB state to use camel case (Harsh and clg)
- Add comment to explain SPRC/SPRD is only accessed with powernv.
- Use mc->desc for error messages and avoid splitting machine init
  handlers (Harsh).
- Add max_smt_threads class attribute to avoid duplicating checks (clg)
- Rename processor_id() class method to get_pir_tir (Harsh and clg)
- Add a comment for get_pir_tir() (clg)
- Allow get_pir_tir() to be passed NULL pointers to avoid dummy
  pir/tir variables (Harsh)
- Move the PPC_CPU_HAS_CORE_SIBLINGS macros to inline functions (clg)
- Invert them (test for single-thread rather than for siblings)
  because the callers read a little better that way (Harsh).
- Propagate lpar and big-core options down to chip and core
  levels rather than having to test machine (clg)
- Significantly split the big-core patch (clg).
- Rework big-core device-tree handling to simplify it (clg).
- Make new has_smt_siblings property bool (Harsh)
- Make the big-core timebase tod quirk a machine class property
  rather than machine state (Harsh).

Thanks,
Nick
