Currently, the powerpc kvm_arch structure contains a number of variables
tracking the state of the guest's hashed page table (HPT) in KVM HV.  This
patch gathers them all together into a single kvm_hpt_info substructure.
This makes life more convenient for the upcoming HPT resizing
implementation.

While you're at it, it would be really great if you could add a comment
at the end of each line with a short description of what the variables
are about. E.g. if I just read "virt" and do not have much clue of the
code yet, I have a hard time to figure out what this means...
