QEMU e820 reservation patch

Hi,

Kevin and I have agreed on the approach for this one now. So here is
the latest version of the patch for QEMU, submitting e820 reservation
entries via fw_cfg.

Cheers,
Jes

Use qemu-cfg to provide the BIOS with an optional table of e820 entries....

kvm: x86: Use separate exception_injected CPUState field

Marcelo correctly remarked that there are usage conflicts between QEMU
core code and KVM /wrt exception_index. So spend a separate field and
also save/restore it properly.

v2: properly save kvm system time msr registers

Currently, the msrs involved in setting up pvclock are not saved over
migration and/or save/restore. This patch puts their value in special
fields in our CPUState, and deal with them using vmstate.

kvm also has to account for it, by including them in the msr list...

initial request in order to obtain that size. Do not fail in that case.

This caused a subtle corruption of the guest state as MSR_STAR was not...
