+PowerPC guest does not emulate L2 and L3 cache for KVM vCPUs

+PowerPC KVM guest does not emulate L2 and L2 caches for vCPU, it would be good to have them enabled if not any known issues/limitation already with PowerPC.

+background: x86 enabling cpu L2 cache bydefault and L3 cache on demand for kvm guest
+and claims performance improvement as vcpus can be 
+benefited with lesser `vmexits due to guest send IPIs.` with L3 cache enabled, below was patch for same.
