ppc patch queue for 2016-03-24

Accumulated patches for target-ppc, pseries machine type and related
devices.

* Preliminary patches from BenH & Cédric Le Goater's powernv code
    * We don't want the full machine type before 2.7
    * Adding some of the SPRs also fixes migration corner cases for
      spapr (when qemu has no knowledge of the registers, they're
      obviously not migrated)
    * We include some patches that aren't strictly fixes, but make
      applying the others easier, and they're low risk
* Fix to buffer management which significantly improves throughput in
  the spapr-llan virtual network device
* Start with 64-bit mode enabled on spapr.  This is the way it's
  supposed to be but we broke it a while back and didn't notice
  because Linux guests cope anyway.
    * Picked up by kvm-unit-tests
    * Still some bugs here that I'm working on
