[ Upstream commit 6de2e837babb411cfb3cdb570581c3a65576ddaf ]
kvmppc_get_msr() and kvmppc_set_msr_fast() serve as accessors for the
MSR. However because the MSR is kept in the shared regs they include a
conditional check for kvmppc_shared_big_endian() and endian conversion.
Within the Book3S HV specific code there are direct reads and writes of
shregs::msr. In preparation for Nested APIv2 these accesses need to be
replaced with accessor functions so it is possible to extend their
behavior. However, using the kvmppc_get_msr() and kvmppc_set_msr_fast()
functions is undesirable because it would introduce a conditional branch
and endian conversion that is not currently present.
kvmppc_set_msr_hv() already exists, it is used for the
kvmppc_ops::set_msr callback.
Introduce a low level accessor __kvmppc_{s,g}et_msr_hv() that simply
gets and sets shregs::msr. This will be extend for Nested APIv2 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.
