During startup and after reset we have to synchronize user space to the
in-kernel KVM state. Namely, we need to transfer the VCPU registers when
they change due to VCPU as well as APIC reset.

This patch refactors the required hooks so that kvm_init_vcpu registers
its own per-VCPU reset handler and adds a cpu_synchronize_state to the
APIC reset. That way we no longer depend on the new reset order (and can
drop this disliked interface again) and we can even drop a KVM hook in
main().

Save and restore all so far neglected KVM-specific CPU states. Handling
the TSC stabilizes migration in KVM mode. The interrupt_bitmap and
mp_state are currently unused, but will become relevant for in-kernel
irqchip support. By including proper saving/restoring already, we avoid
having to increment CPU_SAVE_VERSION later on once again.

v2:
 - initialize mp_state runnable (for the boot CPU)

If the KVM MMU is asynchronous (kernel does not support MMU_NOTIFIER),
we have to avoid COW for the guest memory. Otherwise we risk serious
breakage when guest pages change there physical locations due to COW
after fork. Seen when forking smbd during runtime via -smb.

Fail loudly if we run out of memory slot.

Make sure that dirty log start/stop works with consistent memory regions
by reporting invalid parameters. This reveals several inconsistencies in
the vga code, patch to fix them follows later in this series.

And, for simplicity reasons, also catch and report unaligned memory
regions passed to kvm_set_phys_mem (KVM works on page basis).

This is a backport of the guest debugging support for the KVM
accelerator that is now part of the KVM tree. It implements the reworked
KVM kernel API for guest debugging (KVM_CAP_SET_GUEST_DEBUG) which is
not yet part of any mainline kernel but will probably be 2.6.30 stuff.
So far supported is x86, but PPC is expected to catch up soon.

Core features are:
 - unlimited soft-breakpoints via code patching
 - hardware-assisted x86 breakpoints and watchpoints

Changes in this version:
 - use generic hook cpu_synchronize_state to transfer registers between
   user space and kvm
 - push kvm_sw_breakpoints into KVMState

Currently on x86, qemu initializes CPUState but KVM ignores it and does its
own vcpu initialization. However, PowerPC KVM needs to be able to set the
initial register state to support the -kernel and -append options.

MMIO exits are more expensive in KVM or Xen than in QEMU because they 
involve, at least, privilege transitions.  However, MMIO write 
operations can be effectively batched if those writes do not have side 
effects.

Good examples of this include VGA pixel operations when in a planar 
mode.  As it turns out, we can get a nice boost in other areas too.  
Laurent mentioned a 9.7% performance boost in iperf with the coalesced 
MMIO changes for the e1000 when he originally posted this work for KVM.

This adds a VirtIO based balloon driver.  It uses madvise() to actually balloon
the memory when possible.

Until 2.6.27, KVM forced memory pinning so we must disable ballooning unless the
kernel actually supports it when using KVM.  It's always safe when using TCG.

Introduce functions to control logging of memory regions.
We select regions based on its start address, a
guest_physical_addr (target_phys_addr_t, in qemu nomenclature).

The main user of this interface right now is VGA optimization

The third argument to ioctl is a ... which allows any value to be passed.  In
practice, glibc always treats the argument as a void *.

Do the same thing for the kvm ioctls to keep things consistent with a
