Disable phsyical memory handling in userspace emulation.

Code to handle physical memory access is not meaningful in usrmode emulation,
so disable it.

KVM: Rework of guest debug state writing

So far we synchronized any dirty VCPU state back into the kernel before
updating the guest debug state. This was a tribute to a deficite in x86
kernels before 2.6.33. But as this is an arch-dependent issue, it is
better handle in the x86 part of KVM and remove the writeback point for...

kvm: consume internal signal with sigtimedwait

Change the way the internal qemu signal, used for communication between
iothread and vcpus, is handled.

Block and consume it with sigtimedwait on the outer vcpu loop, which
allows more precise timing control....

kvm: Flush coalesced MMIO buffer periodly

The default action of coalesced MMIO is, cache the writing in buffer, until:
1. The buffer is full.
2. Or the exit to QEmu due to other reasons.

But this would result in a very late writing in some condition.
1. The each time write to MMIO content is small....

kvm: Add arch reset handler

Will be required by succeeding changes.

Revert "Get rid of _t suffix"

In the very least, a change like this requires discussion on the list.

The naming convention is goofy and it causes a massive merge problem. Something
like this must be presented on the list first so people can provide input...

Fix sys-queue.h conflict for good

Problem: Our file sys-queue.h is a copy of the BSD file, but there are
some additions and it's not entirely compatible. Because of that, there have
been conflicts with system headers on BSD systems. Some hacks have been
introduced in the commits 15cc9235840a22c289edbe064a9b3c19c5f49896,...

provide tests for pit in kernel and irqchip in kernel

KVM can have an in-kernel pit or irqchip. While we don't implement it
yet, having a way for test for it (that always returns zero) will allow us
to reuse code in qemu-kvm that tests for it.

kvm: x86: Save/restore KVM-specific CPU states

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...

kvm: Rework dirty bitmap synchronization

Extend kvm_physical_sync_dirty_bitmap() so that is can sync across
multiple slots. Useful for updating the whole dirty log during
migration. Moreover, properly pass down errors the whole call chain.

Introduce kvm_check_extension to check if KVM extensions are supported

kvm: Add sanity checks to slot management (Jan Kiszka)

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....

kvm: sync vcpu state during initialization (Hollis Blanchard)

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....

Add virtio-balloon support

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....

Define kvm_ioctl in the same way as ioctl

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
traditional ioctl....
