KVM: PPC: Book3S: Enable XIVE native capability only if OPAL has required functions
There are some POWER9 machines where the OPAL firmware does not support the OPAL_XIVE_GET_QUEUE_STATE and OPAL_XIVE_SET_QUEUE_STATE calls. The impact of this is that a guest using XIVE natively will not be able to be migrated successfully. On the source side, the get_attr operation on the KVM native device for the KVM_DEV_XIVE_GRP_EQ_CONFIG attribute will fail; on the destination side, the set_attr operation for the same attribute will fail. This adds tests for the existence of the OPAL get/set queue state functions, and if they are not supported, the XIVE-native KVM device is not created and the KVM_CAP_PPC_IRQ_XIVE capability returns false. Userspace can then either provide a software emulation of XIVE, or else tell the guest that it does not have a XIVE controller available to it.
