Recent POWER CPUs can operate in "LPAR per core" or "LPAR per thread"
modes. In per-core mode, some SPRs and IPI doorbells are shared between
threads in a core. In per-thread mode, supervisor and user state is
not shared between threads.

OpenPOWER systems after POWER8 use LPAR per thread mode, and it is
required for KVM. Enterprise systems use LPAR per core mode, as they
partition the machine by core.

Implement a lpar-per-core machine option for powernv machines. This
is fixed true for POWER8 machines, and defaults off for P9 and P10.

With this change, powernv8 SMT now works sufficiently to run Linux,
with a single socket. Multi-threaded KVM guests still have problems,
as does multi-socket Linux boot.

Looks good. Some more proposal again,
