KVM: PPC: Book3S HV P9: Demand fault EBB facility registers
Use HFSCR facility disabling to implement demand faulting for EBB, with a hysteresis counter similar to the load_fp etc counters in context switching that implement the equivalent demand faulting for userspace facilities. This speeds up guest entry/exit by avoiding the register save/restore when a guest is not frequently using them. When a guest does use them often, there will be some additional demand fault overhead, but these are not commonly used facilities. Signed-off-by:Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com> Reviewed-by:
