This patch reimplements LOAD_VSX/STORE_VSX instruction MMIO emulation with
analyse_intr() input. It utilizes VSX_FPCONV/VSX_SPLAT/SIGNEXT exported
by analyse_instr() and handle accordingly.

When emulating VSX store, the VSX reg will need to be flushed so that
the right reg val can be retrieved before writing to IO MEM.

When I tested this patch set with the MMIO emulation test program I
have, I got a host crash on the first test that used a VSX instruction
with a register number >= 32, that is, a VMX register.  The crash was
that it hit the BUG() at line 1193 of arch/powerpc/kvm/powerpc.c.

The reason it hit the BUG() is that vcpu->arch.io_gpr was 0xa3.
What's happening here is that analyse_instr gives a register numbers
in the range 32 - 63 for VSX instructions which access VMX registers.
When 35 is ORed with 0x80 (KVM_MMIO_REG_VSX) we get 0xa3.

The old code didn't pass the high bit of the register number to
kvmppc_handle_vsx_load/store, but instead passed it via the
vcpu->arch.mmio_vsx_tx_sx_enabled field.  With your patch set we still
set and use that field, so the patch below on top of your patches is
the quick fix.  Ideally we would get rid of that field and just use
the high (0x20) bit of the register number instead, but that can be
cleaned up later.

If you like, I will fold the patch below into this patch and push the
series to my kvm-ppc-next branch.
