Nicholas Piggin b1b1697ae0 KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Remove support for running HPT guest on RPT host without mixed mode support
This reverts much of commit c01015091a ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Run HPT
guests on POWER9 radix hosts"), which was required to run HPT guests on
RPT hosts on early POWER9 CPUs without support for "mixed mode", which
meant the host could not run with MMU on while guests were running.

This code has some corner case bugs, e.g., when the guest hits a machine
check or HMI the primary locks up waiting for secondaries to switch LPCR
to host, which they never do. This could all be fixed in software, but
most CPUs in production have mixed mode support, and those that don't
are believed to be all in installations that don't use this capability.
So simplify things and remove support.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
