powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv: Use threads_per_subcore in KVM To support split core on POWER8 we need to modify various parts of the KVM code to use threads_per_subcore instead of threads_per_core. On systems that do not support split core threads_per_subcore == threads_per_core and these changes are a nop. We use threads_per_subcore as the value reported by KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT. This communicates to userspace that guests can only be created with a value of threads_per_core that is less than or equal to the current threads_per_subcore. This ensures that guests can only be created with a thread configuration that we are able to run given the current split core mode. Although threads_per_subcore can change during the life of the system, the commit that enables that will ensure that threads_per_subcore does not change during the life of a KVM VM.
