  We don't support transactional memory in PR KVM, so don't tell the OS that we do.

  These are the required patches:

      ppc: Check the availability of transactional memory
      
      KVM-PR currently does not support transactional memory, and the
      implementation in TCG is just a fake. We should not announce TM
      support in the ibm,pa-features property when running on such a
      system, so disable it by default and only enable it if the KVM
      implementation supports it (i.e. recent versions of KVM-HV).
      These changes are based on some earlier work from Anton Blanchard
      (thanks!).

      hw/ppc/spapr: Fix the selection of the processor features
      
      The current code uses pa_features_206 for POWERPC_MMU_2_06, and
      for everything else, it uses pa_features_207. This is bad in some
      cases because there is also a "degraded" MMU version of ISA 2.06,
      called POWERPC_MMU_2_06a, which should of course use the flags for
      2.06 instead. And there is also the possibility that the user runs
      the pseries machine with a POWER5+ or even 970 processor. In that
      case we certainly do not want to set the flags for 2.07, and rather
      simply skip the setting of the pa-features property instead.

      hw/ppc/spapr: Move code related to "ibm,pa-features" to a separate function
      
      The function spapr_populate_cpu_dt() has become quite big
      already, and since we likely have to extend the pa-features
      property for every new processor generation, it is nicer
      if we put the related code into a separate function.
