target/ppc: Allow workarounds for POWER9 DD1
POWER9 DD1 silicon has some bugs which mean it a) isn't really compliant with the ISA v3.00 and b) require a number of special workarounds in the kernel. At the moment, qemu isn't aware of DD1. For TCG we don't really want it to be (why bother emulating buggy silicon). But with KVM, the guest does need to be aware of DD1 so it can apply the necessary workarounds. Meanwhile, the feature negotiation between qemu and the guest strongly favours architected compatibility modes to "raw" CPU modes. In combination with the above, this means the guest sees architected POWER9 mode, and doesn't apply the DD1 workarounds. Well, unless it has yet another workaround to partially ignore what qemu tells it. This patch addresses this by disabling support for compatibility modes when using KVM on a POWER9 DD1 host.
