The following patch series reworks the implementation of spapr_caps
to allow for a increased number of possible values in the internal
representation.

It also adds 3 new tristate capabilities.

A new H-Call is implemented which a guest will use to query the 
requirement for and availability of workarounds for certain cpu 
behaviours.

Applies on top of David's series - spapr: Add optional capabilities
Based on ppc-for-2.12

The patches could be split up more, but in the interest of getting
them out there they are as they are.

    representation

I've applied 1/3.  2/3 will need rework since the necessary kvm
changes were nacked, 3/3 isn't much use without it, so I'll wait on a
respin of those.
