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.

This reworks the slot management to handle more patterns of
cpu_register_physical_memory*, finally allowing to reset KVM guests (so
far address remapping on reset broke the slot management).
We could actually handle all possible ones without failing, but a KVM
kernel bug in older versions would force us to track all previous
fragmentations and maintain them (as that bug prevents registering
larger slots that overlap also deleted ones). To remain backward
compatible but avoid overly complicated workarounds, we apply a simpler
workaround that covers all currently used patterns.

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

And, for simplicity reasons, also catch and report unaligned memory

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

env->interrupt_request is accessed as the bit level from both main code
and signal handler, making a race condition possible even on CISC CPU.
This causes freeze of QEMU under high load when running the dyntick
clock.
The patch below move the bit corresponding to CPU_INTERRUPT_EXIT in a
separate variable, declared as volatile sig_atomic_t, so it should be
work even on RISC CPU.
We may want to move the cpu_interrupt(env, CPU_INTERRUPT_EXIT) case in
its own function and get rid of CPU_INTERRUPT_EXIT. That can be done
later, I wanted to keep the patch short for easier review.

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.
