KVM: PPC: Add OSI hypercall interface
MOL uses its own hypercall interface to call back into userspace when
the guest wants to do something.
So let's implement that as an exit reason, specify it with a CAP and
only really use it when userspace wants us to.
The only user of it so far is MOL.

+MOL uses a special hypercall interface it calls 'OSI'. To enable it, we catch
+hypercalls and exit with this exit struct that contains all the guest gprs.
