In parallel to the Processor ID Register (PIR) threaded POWER8 also adds a
Thread ID Register (TID). Since PR KVM doesn't emulate more than one thread
per core, we can just always expose 0 here.

I'm not sure if we ever do, but if we IPI ourselves using a doorbell,
we'll need to emulate the doorbell as well.

Yeah, we don't. I'm surprised we don't myself, but I'd rather not 
implement the logic to emulate doorbells until I can easily verify it 
works - which means either have a Linux guest that does doorbells or 
have a test harness for kernel level test cases.
