Reserve a register for the guest_base using ppc code for reference.
By doing so, we do not have to recompute it for every memory load.

For future reference, you should not add a Signed-off-by for someone else. 
That is like writing someone else's signature.

You may acknowledge my suggestion with a Suggested-by tag.

QEMU uses the same rules for this as does the linux kernel.  Please read

> https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst

or at least section 11 from

> https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/translations/zh_CN/SubmittingPatches

(The translation may be be out of date.  I don't see any of the other tags, 
like Suggested-by, within the Chinese text.)

That said, applied to tcg-next.
