Subject: [PATCH v5 27/30] RFC: KVM: powerpc: Move processor compatibility check to hardware setup

From: Isaku Yamahata <isaku.yamahata@...el.com>

Move processor compatibility check from kvm_arch_processor_compat() into
kvm_arch_hardware_setup().  The check does model name comparison with a
global variable, cur_cpu_spec.  There is no point to check it at run time
on all processors.

kvmppc_core_check_processor_compat() checks the global variable.  There are
five implementation for it as follows.

  arch/powerpc/include/asm/cputable.h: extern struct cpu_spec *cur_cpu_spec;
  arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s.c: return 0
  arch/powerpc/kvm/e500.c: strcmp(cur_cpu_spec->cpu_name, "e500v2")
  arch/powerpc/kvm/e500mc.c: strcmp(cur_cpu_spec->cpu_name, "e500mc")
                             strcmp(cur_cpu_spec->cpu_name, "e5500")
                             strcmp(cur_cpu_spec->cpu_name, "e6500")
