Add support for adding and parsing Hostwide elements to the
Guest-state-buffer data structure used in apiv2. These elements are used to
share meta-information pertaining to entire L1-Lpar and this
meta-information is maintained by L0-PowerVM hypervisor. Example of this
include the amount of the page-table memory currently used by L0-PowerVM
for hosting the Shadow-Pagetable of all active L2-Guests. More of the are
documented in kernel-documentation at [1]. The Hostwide GSB elements are
currently only support with H_GUEST_SET_STATE hcall with a special flag
namely 'KVMPPC_GS_FLAGS_HOST_WIDE'.
The patch introduces new defs for the 5 new Hostwide GSB elements including
their GSIDs as well as introduces a new class of GSB elements namely
'KVMPPC_GS_CLASS_HOSTWIDE' to indicate to GSB construction/parsing
infrastructure in 'kvm/guest-state-buffer.c'. Also
gs_msg_ops_vcpu_get_size(), kvmppc_gsid_type() and
kvmppc_gse_{flatten,unflatten}_iden() are updated to appropriately indicate
the needed size for these Hostwide GSB elements as well as how to
flatten/unflatten their GSIDs so that they can be marked as available in
GSB bitmap.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
