powerpc/pseries/svm: Use shared memory for LPPACA structures LPPACA structures need to be shared with the host. Hence they need to be in shared memory. Instead of allocating individual chunks of memory for a given structure from memblock, a contiguous chunk of memory is allocated and then converted into shared memory. Subsequent allocation requests will come from the contiguous chunk which will be always shared memory for all structures. While we are able to use a kmem_cache constructor for the Debug Trace Log, LPPACAs are allocated very early in the boot process (before SLUB is available) so we need to use a simpler scheme here. Introduce helper is_svm_platform() which uses the S bit of the MSR to tell whether we're running as a secure guest.
