The code in book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S that pushes the XIVE virtual CPU
context to the hardware currently assumes it is being called in real
mode, which is usually true. There is however a path by which it can
be executed in virtual mode, in the case where indep_threads_mode = N.
A virtual CPU executing on an offline secondary thread can take a
hypervisor interrupt in virtual mode and return from the
kvmppc_hv_entry() call after the kvm_secondary_got_guest label.
It is possible for it to be given another vcpu to execute before it
gets to execute the stop instruction. In that case it will call
kvmppc_hv_entry() for the second VCPU in virtual mode, and the XIVE
vCPU push code will be executed in virtual mode. The result in that
case will be a host crash due to an unexpected data storage interrupt
caused by executing the stdcix instruction in virtual mode.
This fixes it by adding a code path for virtual mode, which uses the
virtual TIMA pointer and normal load/store instructions.
