For cap_ppc_safe_cache to be set to workaround, we require both a l1d
cache flush instruction and private l1d cache.

On POWER8 don't require private l1d cache. This means a guest on a
POWER8 machine can make use of the cache flush workarounds.

V1 -> V2:
- Use mfpvr() to detect host type

Applied to ppc-for-3.0, thanks.
