Patch v5 -> v7:
================
(Suggestions from Sean):
1. Added kvm_is_ppc_pseries_lpar() helper in kvm_util.h to avoid sprinkling
   multiple #ifdef __powerpc64__ checks.
2. Enable all tests via TEST_GEN_PROGS_COMMON for powerpc
3. Enable hardware_disable_test and skip when running on powerpc pseries LPAR
   (nested).
4. Re-arranged the fixes in appropriate order.

Applied to kvm-x86 ppc_selftests.  I swapped the order of 5 and 6 so that there
wouldn't ever be a window where the kvm_create_max_vcpus test could fail on LPAR
setups.  I also massaged the shortlog+changelog for 7 and 8, to explicitly call
state the tests are being enabled (saying only "skip on LPAR" suggests the tests
were already enabled, which they were not).
