kqemu introduces a number of restrictions on the i386 target. The worst is that
it prevents large memory from working in the default build.
Furthermore, kqemu is fundamentally flawed in a number of ways. It relies on
the TSC as a time source which will not be reliable on a multiple processor
system in userspace. Since most modern processors are multicore, this severely
limits the utility of kqemu.
kvm is a viable alternative for people looking to accelerate qemu and has the
benefit of being supported by the upstream Linux kernel. If someone can
implement work arounds to remove the restrictions introduced by kqemu, I'm
happy to avoid and/or revert this patch.
N.B. kqemu will still function in the 0.11 series but this patch removes it from
the 0.12 series.
Paul, please Ack or Nack this patch.

This allows to set segment registers via gdb also in system emulation
mode. Basic sanity checks are applied and nothing is changed if they
fail. But screwing up the target via this interface will never be
complicated, so I avoided being too paranoid here.

This should fix compilation problem in case of CONFIG_USER_ONLY.
Currently INIT/SIPI is handled in the context of CPU that sends IPI.
This patch changes this to handle them like all other events in a main
cpu exec loop. When KVM will gain thread per vcpu capability it will
be much more clear to handle those event by cpu thread itself and not
modify one cpu's state from the context of the other.

KVM-enabled QEMU will always report the vendor ID of the physical CPU it is
running on. Allow to override this if explicitly requested on the
command line. It will not suffice to name a CPU type (like -cpu phenom),
but you have to explicitly set the vendor: -cpu phenom,vendor=AuthenticAMD

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.

Add support for the MTRRcap MSR which is used by the latest Bochs BIOS

Fix a typo in ext2_feature_name.
With this patch, MTRR emulation should be good enough to not trigger any
sanity checks in well behaved BIOS/kernel code.
Some corner cases for BIOS/firmware usage remain to be implemented, but
that can be deferred to another patch.
Also, MTRR accesses on hardware not supporting MTRRs should cause #GP.

The current codebase ignores MTRR (Memory Type Range Register)
configuration writes and reads because Qemu does not implement caching.
All BIOS/firmware in know of for x86 do implement a mode called
Cache-as-RAM (CAR) which locks down the CPU cache lines and uses the CPU
cache like RAM before RAM is enabled. Qemu assumes RAM is accessible
from the start, but it would be nice to be able to run real
BIOS/firmware in Qemu. For that, we need CAR support and for CAR support
we have to support MTRRs.
This patch is a first step in that direction. MTRRs are MSRs supported
by all recent x86 CPUs, even old i586. Besides influencing cache, the
MTRRs can be written and read back, so discarding MTRR writes violates
the expectations of existing code out there.
An added benefit of this patch is that it fixes the following Linux
kernel error message present in recent kernels (provided the BIOS has
the recent MTRR patches applied):

This patch adds very basic KVM support. KVM is a kernel module for Linux that
allows userspace programs to make use of hardware virtualization support. It
current supports x86 hardware virtualization using Intel VT-x or AMD-V. It
also supports IA64 VT-i, PPC 440, and S390.
This patch only implements the bare minimum support to get a guest booting. It
has very little impact the rest of QEMU and attempts to integrate nicely with
the rest of QEMU.
Even though this implementation is basic, it is significantly faster than TCG.
Booting and shutting down a Linux guest:
w/TCG: 1:32.36 elapsed 84% CPU
w/KVM: 0:31.14 elapsed 59% CPU
Right now, KVM is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled with
-enable-kvm. We can enable it by default later when we have had better
testing.
