powerpc/64: Enable use of radix MMU under hypervisor on POWER9
To use radix as a guest, we first need to tell the hypervisor via the ibm,client-architecture call first that we support POWER9 and architecture v3.00, and that we can do either radix or hash and that we would like to choose later using an hcall (the H_REGISTER_PROC_TBL hcall). Then we need to check whether the hypervisor agreed to us using radix. We need to do this very early on in the kernel boot process before any of the MMU initialization is done. If the hypervisor doesn't agree, we can't use radix and therefore clear the radix MMU feature bit. Later, when we have set up our process table, which points to the radix tree for each process, we need to install that using the H_REGISTER_PROC_TBL hcall.
