Right now we handle the STHYI only via the operation exception intercept
(illegal instruction). If hardware ever decides to provide an
instruction intercept for STHYI, we should handle that as well.

Diag224 requires a page-aligned 4k buffer to store the name table
into. kmalloc does not guarantee page alignment, hence we replace it
with __get_free_page for the buffer allocation.

Store hypervisor information is a valid instruction not only in
supervisor state but also in problem state, i.e. the guest's
userspace. Its execution is not only computational and memory
intensive, but also has to get hold of the ipte lock to write to the
guest's memory.
This lock is not intended to be held often and long, especially not
from the untrusted guest userspace. Therefore we apply rate limiting
of sthyi executions per VM.

Store Hypervisor Information is an emulated z/VM instruction that
provides a guest with basic information about the layers it is running
on. This includes information about the cpu configuration of both the
machine and the lpar, as well as their names, machine model and
machine type. This information enables an application to determine the
maximum capacity of CPs and IFLs available to software.
The instruction is available whenever the facility bit 74 is set,
otherwise executing it results in an operation exception.
It is important to check the validity flags in the sections before
using data from any structure member. It is not guaranteed that all
members will be valid on all machines / machine configurations.
