In the nested KVM case, replace H_TLB_INVALIDATE by the new hcall
H_RPT_INVALIDATE if available. The availability of this hcall
is determined from "hcall-rpt-invalidate" string in ibm,hypertas-functions
DT property.
What are we going to use when nested KVM supports HPT guests at L2?
L1 will need to do partition-scoped tlbies with R=0 via a hypercall,
but H_RPT_INVALIDATE says in its name that it only handles radix
page tables (i.e. R=1).
For L2 HPT guests, the old hcall is expected to work after it adds
support for R=0 case?

The new hcall should be advertised via ibm,hypertas-functions only
for radix guests I suppose.

Bharata.
