This patch enhances QEMU's built-in debugger for SMP guest debugging.
Using the thread support of the gdb remote protocol, each VCPU is mapped
on a pseudo thread and exposed to the gdb frontend. This way you can
easy switch the focus of gdb between the VCPUs and observe their states.
On breakpoint hit, the focus is automatically adjusted just as for
normal multi-threaded application under gdb control.
Furthermore, the patch propagates breakpoint and watchpoint insertions
or removals to all CPUs, not just the current one as it was the case so
far. Without this, SMP guest debugging was practically unfeasible.

This patch prepares the QEMU cpu_watchpoint/breakpoint API to allow the
succeeding enhancements this series comes with.
First of all, it overcomes MAX_BREAKPOINTS/MAX_WATCHPOINTS by switching
to dynamically allocated data structures that are kept in linked lists.
This also allows to return a stable reference to the related objects,
required for later introduced x86 debug register support.
Breakpoints and watchpoints are stored with their full information set
and an additional flag field that makes them easily extensible for use
beyond pure guest debugging.

Return the appropriate type prefix (r, a, none) when reporting
watchpoint hits to the gdb front-end.

This patch makes qemu keep track of the character devices in use and
implements a "info chardev" monitor command to print a list.
qemu_chr_open() sticks the devices into a linked list now. It got a new
argument (label), so there is a name for each device. It also assigns a
filename to each character device. By default it just copyes the
filename passed in. Individual drivers can fill in something else
though. qemu_chr_open_pty() sets the filename to name of the pseudo tty
allocated.
Output looks like this:
(qemu) info chardev
monitor: filename=unix:/tmp/run.sh-26827/monitor,server,nowait
serial0: filename=unix:/tmp/run.sh-26827/console,server
serial1: filename=pty:/dev/pts/5
parallel0: filename=vc:640x480

Define XER bits as a single register and access them individually to
avoid defining 5 32-bit registers (TCG doesn't permit to map 8-bit
registers).

The IO index is now stored in its own field, instead of being wedged
into the vaddr field. This eliminates the ROMD and watchpoint host
pointer weirdness. The IO index space is expanded by 1 bit, and
several additional bits are made available in the TLB vaddr field.

Implement the 'k' gdbserial packet which kills the qemu instance via
the debugger stub.
Implement the 'D' detach packet for the gdb stub such that you can
disconnect gdb with the "detach" command. This required implementing
a cpu_breakpoint_remove_all() and a cpu_watchpoint_remove_all()
function to cleanup all the breakpoints and watchpoints prior to
leaving the gdb stub else simulation can stop with no debugger
attached.
On a '?' packet remove all the breakpoints and watchpoints. This is
considered more of a safety net in case you force killed gdb or it
crashed and you are reconnecting. The identical behavior exists for
kgdb in the linux kernel.

routines. Coming back to a raw MSR storage model then speed-up the emulation.
Improve fast MSR updates (wrtee wrteei and mtriee cases).
Share rfi family instructions helpers code to avoid bug in duplicated code.
Allow entering halt mode as the result of a rfi instruction.
Add a new helper_regs.h file to avoid duplication of special registers
manipulation routines (currently XER and MSR).

should never be seen outside of op.c
- Update copyrights
- Add new / missing PowerPC CPU definitions

and BookE support
- Avoid compiling priviledged only resources support for user-mode emulation

* add missing RETURN in some micro-ops
* fix prototypes
* use softfloat routines for all floating-point operations
* fix tlbie instruction
* move some huge micro-operations into helpers
- emulation fixes:
* fix inverted opcodes for fcmpo / fcmpu
* condition register update is always to be done after the whole
