Subject: [PATCH 10/11] powerpc/pseries: Query hypervisor for RFI flush settings

From: Michael Neuling <mikey@...ling.org>

A new hypervisor call is available which tells the guest settings
related to the RFI flush. Use it to query the appropriate flush
instruction(s), and whether the flush is required.
