KVM: PPC: e500: enable magic page

Browse Source 
This is a shared page used for paravirtualization.  It is always present
in the guest kernel's effective address space at the address indicated
by the hypercall that enables it.

The physical address specified by the hypercall is not used, as
e500 does not have real mode.

@ -68,9 +68,11 @@ page that contains parts of supervisor visible register state. The guest can
map this shared page using the KVM hypercall KVM_HC_PPC_MAP_MAGIC_PAGE.
With this hypercall issued the guest always gets the magic page mapped at the
desired location in effective and physical address space. For now, we always
map the page to -4096. This way we can access it using absolute load and store
functions. The following instruction reads the first field of the magic page:
desired location. The first parameter indicates the effective address when the
MMU is enabled. The second parameter indicates the address in real mode, if
applicable to the target. For now, we always map the page to -4096. This way we
can access it using absolute load and store functions. The following
instruction reads the first field of the magic page:
