KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Ignore timebase offset on POWER9 DD1
commit 3d3efb68 upstream. POWER9 DD1 has an erratum where writing to the TBU40 register, which is used to apply an offset to the timebase, can cause the timebase to lose counts. This results in the timebase on some CPUs getting out of sync with other CPUs, which then results in misbehaviour of the timekeeping code. To work around the problem, we make KVM ignore the timebase offset for all guests on POWER9 DD1 machines. This means that live migration cannot be supported on POWER9 DD1 machines.
