When a Power cpu with 64-bit hash MMU has it's hash page table (HPT)
pointer updated by a write to the SDR1 register we need to update some
derived variables.  Likewise, when the cpu is configured for an external
HPT (one not in the guest memory space) some derived variables need to be
updated.

Currently the logic for this is (partially) duplicated in ppc_store_sdr1()
and in spapr_cpu_reset().  In future we're going to need it in some other
places, so make some common helpers for this update.

In addition extend the helpers to update SDR1 in KVM - it's not updated
by the normal runtime KVM<->qemu CPU synchronization.  Currently there
aren't situations where it matters, but there are going to be in future.

I had to look at kvm_cpu_exec() (which also calls kvm_arch_put_registers) 
to realize that you need here KVM_PUT_RESET_STATE and not kvm_cpu_exec's 
KVM_PUT_RUNTIME_STATE, that should go to the comment imho.

imho -1 is not really clearer than 0.

It won't be 0 though, because ppc_hash64_set_sdr1() will update it
based on the SDR1 value, which in turn is based on the user address of
the external htab (and PR KVM needs that).
the user address of the external htab.

So, it will look kind of like an address, but won't actually be an
address within the guest AS, which it's supposed to be.  Hence, the
override here.
