KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add a capability for enabling secure guests
At present, on Power systems with Protected Execution Facility hardware and an ultravisor, a KVM guest can transition to being a secure guest at will. Userspace (QEMU) has no way of knowing whether a host system is capable of running secure guests. This will present a problem in future when the ultravisor is capable of migrating secure guests from one host to another, because virtualization management software will have no way to ensure that secure guests only run in domains where all of the hosts can support secure guests. This adds a VM capability which has two functions: (a) userspace can query it to find out whether the host can support secure guests, and (b) userspace can enable it for a guest, which allows that guest to become a secure guest. If userspace does not enable it, KVM will return an error when the ultravisor does the hypercall that indicates that the guest is starting to transition to a secure guest. The ultravisor will then abort the transition and the guest will terminate.
