KVM: MIPS/MMU: Convert guest physical map to page table
Current guest physical memory is mapped to host physical addresses using
a single linear array (guest_pmap of length guest_pmap_npages). This was
only really meant to be temporary, and isn't sparse, so its wasteful of
memory. A small amount of RAM at GPA 0 and a small boot exception vector
at GPA 0x1fc00000 cannot be represented without a full 128KiB guest_pmap
allocation (MIPS32 with 16KiB pages), which is one reason why QEMU
currently runs its boot code at the top of RAM instead of the usual boot
exception vector address.
Instead use the existing infrastructure for host virtual page table
management to allocate a page table for guest physical memory too. This
should be sufficient for now, assuming the size of physical memory
doesn't exceed the size of virtual memory. It may need extending in
future to handle XPA (eXtended Physical Addressing) in 32-bit guests, as
supported by VZ guests on P5600.
Some of this code is based loosely on Cavium's VZ KVM implementation.
