Subject: [PATCH v3] KVM: PPC: Book3S PR: Enable MSR_DR for switch_mmu_context()

Commit 863771a28e27 ("powerpc/32s: Convert switch_mmu_context() to C")
moved the switch_mmu_context() to C. While in principle a good idea, it
meant that the function now uses the stack. The stack is not accessible
from real mode though.

So to keep calling the function, let's turn on MSR_DR while we call it.
That way, all pointer references to the stack are handled virtually.

In addition, make sure to save/restore r12 on the stack, as it may get
clobbered by the C function.

v1 -> v2:

- Save and restore R12, so that we don't touch volatile registers
while calling into C.

v2 -> v3:

- Save and restore R12 on the stack. SPRGs may be clobbered by
page faults.

Instead of li/andc you can do:

rlwinm r9, r9, 0, ~MSR_DR
