powerpc/kernel: Add ucall_norets() ultravisor call handler

The ultracalls (ucalls for short) allow the Secure Virtual Machines
(SVM)s and hypervisor to request services from the ultravisor such as
accessing a register or memory region that can only be accessed when
running in ultravisor-privileged mode.

This patch adds the ucall_norets() ultravisor call handler.

The specific service needed from an ucall is specified in register
R3 (the first parameter to the ucall). Other parameters to the
ucall, if any, are specified in registers R4 through R12.

Return value of all ucalls is in register R3. Other output values
from the ucall, if any, are returned in registers R4 through R12.

Each ucall returns specific error codes, applicable in the context
of the ucall. However, like with the PowerPC Architecture Platform
Reference (PAPR), if no specific error code is defined for a particular
situation, then the ucall will fallback to an erroneous
parameter-position based code. i.e U_PARAMETER, U_P2, U_P3 etc depending
on the ucall parameter that may have caused the error.

Every host kernel (powernv) needs to be able to do ucalls in case it
ends up being run in a machine with ultravisor enabled. Otherwise, the
kernel may crash early in boot trying to access ultravisor resources,
for instance, trying to set the partition table entry 0. Secure guests
also need to be able to do ucalls and its kernel may not have
CONFIG_PPC_POWERNV=y. For that reason, the ucall.S file is placed under
arch/powerpc/kernel.

If ultravisor is not enabled, the ucalls will be redirected to the
hypervisor which must handle/fail the call.

Thanks to inputs from Ram Pai and Michael Anderson.
