powerpc/kvm: Fix guest boot failure on Power9 since DAWR changes
SLOF checks for 'sc 1' (hypercall) support by issuing a hcall with H_SET_DABR. Since the recent commit e8ebedbf ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Return error from h_set_dabr() on POWER9") changed H_SET_DABR to return H_UNSUPPORTED on Power9, we see guest boot failures, the symptom is the boot seems to just stop in SLOF, eg: SLOF *************************************************************** QEMU Starting Build Date = Sep 24 2017 12:23:07 FW Version = buildd@ release 20170724 <no further output> SLOF can cope if H_SET_DABR returns H_HARDWARE. So wwitch the return value to H_HARDWARE instead of H_UNSUPPORTED so that we don't break the guest boot. That does mean we return a different error to PowerVM in this case, but that's probably not a big concern.
