Introduce the nested PAPR hcall H_GUEST_CREATE_VCPU which is used to
create and initialize the specified VCPU resource for the previously
created guest. Each guest can have multiple VCPUs upto max 2048.
All VCPUs for a guest gets deallocated on guest delete.

Linear allocation isn't really a constraint of the API right? I
would add an UNIMP log message to say what the problem is otherwise
hypervisor developer might struggle to understand the problem.

g_try_renew works with NULL AFAIKS, so no need for the branch. I would
also create a local variable for the new nested guest vcpu created
here so you only have to index it once.

Target can trigger this assert if using a smaller vcpu id number than
already allocated? I would check above that it is exactly equal to
vcpus, and remove it from here.

Why is this here and not in H_GUEST_CREATE? I think you can use pcc->pvr
for this?

This doesn't clean up on failure. Just remove "sanity" checks if they
are already checked in the same function. Any useful ones should be
properly hanlded or done before cleanup is needed.

If you're respinning could you call vcpus nr_vcpus, then call vcpu
(the array of vcpus) vcpus.

Sure, will add an UNIMP log msg and move the below assert up here.

Moving up as suggested.

This is vcpu specific nested_ppc_state which needs to be initialized on 
vcpu creation. We can assign it to spapr->nested.pvr_base as well.

We can actually remove this sanity check since it is already taken care 
above and move this helper in a later patch where used.
