KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Enable use of the new XIVE "single escalation" feature
That feature, provided by Power9 DD2.0 and later, when supported by newer OPAL versions, allows us to sacrifice a queue (priority 7) in favor of merging all the escalation interrupts of the queues of a single VP into a single interrupt. This reduces the number of host interrupts used up by KVM guests especially when those guests use multiple priorities. It will also enable a future change to control the masking of the escalation interrupts more precisely to avoid spurious ones.
