PR KVM will need to reuse msr_check_and_set().
This patch exports this API for reuse.

In current days, many OS distributions have utilized transaction
memory functionality. In PowerPC, HV KVM supports TM. But PR KVM
does not.
The drive for the transaction memory support of PR KVM is the

This patch reworked selftest memcmp_64 so that memcmp selftest can
cover more test cases.
It adds testcases for:
- memcmp over 4K bytes size.
- s1/s2 with different/random offset on 16 bytes boundary.
- enter/exit_vmx_ops pairness.

This patch is based on the previous VMX patch on memcmp().
To optimize ppc64 memcmp() with VMX instruction, we need to think about
the VMX penalty brought with: If kernel uses VMX instruction, it needs
to save/restore current thread's VMX registers. There are 32 x 128 bits

This patch add VMX primitives to do memcmp() in case the compare size
exceeds 4K bytes. KSM feature can benefit from this.

Currently memcmp() 64bytes version in powerpc will fall back to .Lshort
(compare per byte mode) if either src or dst address is not 8 bytes aligned.
It can be opmitized in 2 situations:

There is some room to optimize memcmp() in powerpc 64 bits version for
following 2 cases:
(1) Even src/dst addresses are not aligned with 8 bytes at the beginning,
memcmp() can align them and go with .Llong comparision mode without

This patch reimplements LOAD_VMX/STORE_VMX MMIO emulation with
analyse_intr() input. When emulating the store, the VMX reg will need to
be flushed so that the right reg val can be retrieved before writing to
IO MEM.
This patch also adds support for lvebx/lvehx/lvewx/stvebx/stvehx

VSX MMIO emulation uses mmio_vsx_copy_type to represent VSX emulated
element size/type, such as KVMPPC_VSX_COPY_DWORD_LOAD, etc. This
patch expands mmio_vsx_copy_type to cover VMX copy type, such as
KVMPPC_VMX_COPY_BYTE(stvebx/lvebx), etc. As a result,
