This adds code to enable the HPT resizing code to work on POWER9,
which uses a slightly modified HPT entry format compared to POWER8.
On POWER9, we convert HPTEs read from the HPT from the new format to
the old format so that the rest of the HPT resizing code can work as
before. HPTEs written to the new HPT are converted to the new format
as the last step before writing them into the new HPT.
This takes out the checks added by commit bcd3bb63dbc8 ("KVM: PPC:
Book3S HV: Disable HPT resizing on POWER9 for now", 2017-02-18),
now that HPT resizing works on POWER9.
On POWER9, when we pivot to the new HPT, we now call
kvmppc_setup_partition_table() to update the partition table in order
to make the hardware use the new HPT.
[paulus@ozlabs.org - added kvmppc_setup_partition_table() call,
wrote commit message.]

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
