powerpc/powernv: Add support for POWER8 split core on powernv

Upcoming POWER8 chips support a concept called split core. This is where the
core can be split into subcores that although not full cores, are able to
appear as full cores to a guest.

The splitting & unsplitting procedure is mildly complicated, and explained at
length in the comments within the patch.

One notable detail is that when splitting or unsplitting we need to pull
offline cpus out of their offline state to do work as part of the procedure.

The interface for changing the split mode is via a sysfs file, eg:

 $ echo 2 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/subcores_per_core

Currently supported values are '1', '2' and '4'. And indicate respectively that
the core should be unsplit, split in half, and split in quarters. These modes
correspond to threads_per_subcore of 8, 4 and 2.

We do not allow changing the split mode while KVM VMs are active. This is to
prevent the value changing while userspace is configuring the VM, and also to
prevent the mode being changed in such a way that existing guests are unable to
be run.
