Implementations without hypervisor/LPAR support are permitted by the
architecture, but should have MSR[HV] forced to be 1 at all times, not
0, and should implement various instructions and registers that are
only accessible in hypervisor mode.
This commit implements MSR[HV] as a constant 1 bit and adds the hrfid
instruction, which behaves exactly the same as rfid except that it
reads HSRR0/1 instead of SRR0/1. We already have HSRR0/1 and HSPRG0/1
implemented.
When HV=1, Linux expects external interrupts to arrive as hypervisor
interrupts, so this adds support for hypervisor interrupts (i.e.,
those that set HSRR0/1) and makes the external interrupt be a
hypervisor interrupt. (If we had an LPCR register, the LPES bit would
control this, but we don't.) The xics test is updated to read HSRR0/1
after an external interrupt.

This makes the ICS support less than the 8 architected bits
and sets the soc to use 3 bits by default.
All the supported bits set translates to "masked" (and will read
back at 0xff), any small value is used as-is.
Linux doesn't use priorities above 5, so this is a way to save
silicon. The number of supported priority bits is exposed to the
OS via the config register.

Move the external interrupt generation to a separate module
"ICS" (source controller) which a register per source containing
currently only the priority control.

Currently the test writes to the XICS and then checks that the
expected interrupt has happened. This turns into a stbcix
instruction followed immediately by a load from the variable that
indicates whether an interrupt has happened. It is possible for
it to take a few cycles for the store to reach the XICS and the
interrupt request signal to come back to the core, particularly
with improvements to the load/store unit and dcache.
This therefore adds a delay between storing to the XICS and
checking for the occurrence of an interrupt, so as to give the
signals time to propagate. The delay loop does an arbitrary 10
iterations, and each iteration does two loads and one store to
(cacheable) memory.

Checks interrupt masking and priorities.
Adds to `make test_xics` which is run in `make check` also.
