KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Sanitize special-purpose register values on guest exit
Thomas Huth discovered that a guest could cause a hard hang of a
host CPU by setting the Instruction Authority Mask Register (IAMR)
to a suitable value. It turns out that this is because when the
code was added to context-switch the new special-purpose registers
(SPRs) that were added in POWER8, we forgot to add code to ensure
that they were restored to a sane value on guest exit.
This adds code to set those registers where a bad value could
compromise the execution of the host kernel to a suitable neutral
value on guest exit.
