Jan Kiszka ea375f9ab8 KVM: Rework VCPU state writeback API
This grand cleanup drops all reset and vmsave/load related
synchronization points in favor of four(!) generic hooks:

- cpu_synchronize_all_states in qemu_savevm_state_complete
  (initial sync from kernel before vmsave)
- cpu_synchronize_all_post_init in qemu_loadvm_state
  (writeback after vmload)
- cpu_synchronize_all_post_init in main after machine init
- cpu_synchronize_all_post_reset in qemu_system_reset
  (writeback after system reset)

These writeback points + the existing one of VCPU exec after
cpu_synchronize_state map on three levels of writeback:

- KVM_PUT_RUNTIME_STATE (during runtime, other VCPUs continue to run)
- KVM_PUT_RESET_STATE   (on synchronous system reset, all VCPUs stopped)
- KVM_PUT_FULL_STATE    (on init or vmload, all VCPUs stopped as well)

This level is passed to the arch-specific VCPU state writing function
that will decide which concrete substates need to be written. That way,
no writer of load, save or reset functions that interact with in-kernel
KVM states will ever have to worry about synchronization again. That
also means that a lot of reasons for races, segfaults and deadlocks are
eliminated.

cpu_synchronize_state remains untouched, just as Anthony suggested. We
continue to need it before reading or writing of VCPU states that are
also tracked by in-kernel KVM subsystems.

Consequently, this patch removes many cpu_synchronize_state calls that
are now redundant, just like remaining explicit register syncs.

Alexander Graf d7963c43b9 target-s390: Fail on unknown instructions
We were being a bit too nice and didn't give the guest an invalid instruction
interrupt.

While that works, it's not exactly the fastest thing to do, since now the
guest doesn't know that we're not really implementing that instruction, so it
continues doing it.

We run into this with the set_page_unstable hint instruction. So let's bail out
in these cases.

Alexander Graf 0e60a699d2 Add KVM support for S390x
S390x was one of the first platforms that received support for KVM back in the
day. Unfortunately until now there hasn't been a qemu implementation that would
enable users to actually run guests.

So let's include support for KVM S390x in qemu!
