KVM: s390: Intercept the tprot instruction
Based on original patch from Jeng-fang (Nick) Wang
When standby memory is specified for a guest Linux, but no virtual memory has
been allocated on the Qemu host backing that guest, the guest memory detection
process encounters a memory access exception which is not thrown from the KVM
handle_tprot() instruction-handler function. The access exception comes from
sie64a returning EFAULT, which then passes an addressing exception to the guest.
Unfortunately this does not the proper PSW fixup (nullifying vs.
suppressing) so the guest will get a fault for the wrong address.
Let's just intercept the tprot instruction all the time to do the right thing
and not go the page fault handler path for standby memory. tprot is only used
by Linux during startup so some exits should be ok.
Without this patch, standby memory cannot be used with KVM.
