target/ppc: Add support for Radix partition-scoped translation


The Radix tree translation model currently supports process-scoped
translation for the PowerNV machine (Hypervisor mode) and for the
pSeries machine (Guest mode). Guests running under an emulated
Hypervisor (PowerNV machine) require a new type of Radix translation,
called partition-scoped, which is missing today.

The Radix tree translation is a 2 steps process. The first step,
process-scoped translation, converts an effective Address to a guest
real address, and the second step, partition-scoped translation,
converts a guest real address to a host real address.

There are difference cases to covers :

* Hypervisor real mode access: no Radix translation.

* Hypervisor or host application access (quadrant 0 and 3) with
  relocation on: process-scoped translation.

* Guest OS real mode access: only partition-scoped translation.

* Guest OS real or guest application access (quadrant 0 and 3) with
  relocation on: both process-scoped translation and partition-scoped
  translations.

* Hypervisor access in quadrant 1 and 2 with relocation on: both
  process-scoped translation and partition-scoped translations.

The radix tree partition-scoped translation is performed using tables
pointed to by the first double-word of the Partition Table Entries and
process-scoped translation uses tables pointed to by the Process Table
Entries (second double-word of the Partition Table Entries).

Both partition-scoped and process-scoped translations process are
identical and thus the radix tree traversing code is largely reused.
However, errors in partition-scoped translations generate hypervisor
exceptions.
