Changes in v2 from the cover letter
- Don't use set_spr() and set cpu->env.spr[] directly instead
- Completely reworked the H_PAGE_INIT patch to map the source and target pages for higher speed, and to be able to flush now the caches if requested.

Cover letter [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 0/4] hw/ppc/spapr: Add "Processor Register Hypervisor Resource Access" H-calls
While we were recently debugging a problem with the H_SET_DABR call [1], I noticed that some hypercalls from the chapter 14.5.4.3 ("Processor Register Hypervisor Resource Access") from the LoPAPR spec [2] are still missing in QEMU.
So here's are some patches that implement these hypercalls. Linux apparently does not depend on these hypercalls yet (otherwise somebody would have noticed this earlier), but the hypercalls are rather simple, so I think the implementations are quite straight-forward and easy to read.
v2:
- Don't use set_spr() and set cpu->env.spr[] directly instead
- Completely reworked the H_PAGE_INIT patch to map the source and target pages for higher speed, and to be able to flush now the caches if requested.
