KVM-HV also supports transactional memory on POWER8 with older kernels that do not support the KVM_CAP_PPC_HTM extension yet. The first patch introduces a proper function for checking whether we're running on KVM-PR or KVM-HV, which is then used in the second patch to check that we're running on POWER8 with KVM-HV, so we can allow TM there, too.
