    powerpc: Give hypervisor decrementer interrupts their own handler · dabe859e

    At the moment the handler for hypervisor decrementer interrupts is
    the same as for decrementer interrupts, i.e. timer_interrupt().
    This is bogus; if we ever do get a hypervisor decrementer interrupt
    it won't have anything to do with the next timer event.  In fact
    the only time we get hypervisor decrementer interrupts is when one
    is left pending on exit from a KVM guest.
    
    When we get a hypervisor decrementer interrupt we don't need to do
    anything special to clear it, since they are edge-triggered on the
    transition of HDEC from 0 to -1.  Thus this adds an empty handler
    function for them.  We don't need to have them masked when interrupts
    are soft-disabled, so we use STD_EXCEPTION_HV instead of
    MASKABLE_EXCEPTION_HV.
