powerpc/kvm: Disable in-kernel MPIC emulation for PREEMPT_RT_FULL
Current in-kernel MPIC emulation for PowerPC is unsuitable for RT. More specifically, the MPIC lock becomes a sleeping mutex, causing concurrency issues on a KVM guest enter. Converting the lock to a raw_spinlock is still not a viable solution, since the current implementation is prone to induce large latencies with preemption and irqs disabled on the host kernel. Patch aready applied in the upstream 3.18.13 RT patch, version 9 [1].
