KVM: ppc: Implement in-kernel exit timing statistics
Existing KVM statistics are either just counters (kvm_stat) reported for KVM generally or trace based aproaches like kvm_trace. For KVM on powerpc we had the need to track the timings of the different exit types. While this could be achieved parsing data created with a kvm_trace extension this adds too much overhead (at least on embedded PowerPC) slowing down the workloads we wanted to measure. Therefore this patch adds a in-kernel exit timing statistic to the powerpc kvm code. These statistic is available per vm&vcpu under the kvm debugfs directory. As this statistic is low, but still some overhead it can be enabled via a .config entry and should be off by default. Since this patch touched all powerpc kvm_stat code anyway this code is now merged and simplified together with the exit timing statistic code (still working with exit timing disabled in .config).
