ppc patch queue 2017-01-17

Another pull request for ppc related patches.  The most interesting
thing here is the new capabilities framework for the pseries machine
type.  This gives us better handling of several existing
incompatibilities between TCG, PR and HV KVM, as well as new ones that
arise with POWER9.  Further, it will allow reasonable handling of the
advertisement of features necessary to mitigate the recent CVEs
(Spectre and Meltdown).

In addition there's:
     * Improvide handling of different "vsmt" modes
     * Significant enhancements to the "pnv" machine type
     * Assorted other bugfixes
