powerpc/xive: Share the event-queue page with the Hypervisor.
XIVE interrupt controller uses an Event Queue (EQ) to enqueue event notifications when an exception occurs. The EQ is a single memory page provided by the O/S defining a circular buffer, one per server and priority couple. On baremetal, the EQ page is configured with an OPAL call. On pseries, an extra hop is necessary and the guest OS uses the hcall H_INT_SET_QUEUE_CONFIG to configure the XIVE interrupt controller. The XIVE controller being Hypervisor privileged, it will not be allowed to enqueue event notifications for a Secure VM unless the EQ pages are shared by the Secure VM. Hypervisor/Ultravisor still requires support for the TIMA and ESB page fault handlers. Until this is complete, QEMU can use the emulated XIVE device for Secure VMs, option "kernel_irqchip=off" on the QEMU pseries machine.
