While the machine is paused, in guest_phys_blocks_append() we register a
one-shot MemoryListener, solely for the initial collection of the valid
guest-physical memory ranges that happens at listener registration time.
For each range that is reported to guest_phys_blocks_region_add(), we
attempt to merge the range with the preceding one.
Ranges can only be joined if they are contiguous in both guest-physical
address space, and contiguous in host virtual address space.
The "maximal" ranges that remain in the end constitute the guest-physical
memory map that the dump will be based on.

The vmcore must use physical addresses that are visible to the guest, not
addresses that point into linear RAMBlocks. As first step, introduce the
list type into which we'll collect the physical mappings in effect at the
time of the dump.

Move next_cpu from CPU_COMMON to CPUState.
Move first_cpu variable to qom/cpu.h.
gdbstub needs to use CPUState::env_ptr for now.
cpu_copy() no longer needs to save and restore cpu_next.

Pass any Error out into dump_init() and have it actually stop on errors.
Whether it is unsupported on a certain CPU can be checked by looking for
a NULL CPUClass::get_memory_mapping field.

target_phys_addr_t is unwieldly, violates the C standard (_t suffixes are
reserved) and its purpose doesn't match the name (most target_phys_addr_t
addresses are not target specific). Replace it with a finger-friendly,
standards conformant hwaddr.
Outstanding patchsets can be fixed up with the command
git rebase -i --exec 'find -name "*.[ch]"

This simplifies things, because they will only be included for softmmu
targets and because the stubs are taken out-of-line in separate files,
which in the future could even be compiled only once.

The command's usage:
dump-guest-memory [-p] protocol [begin] [length]
The supported protocol can be file or fd:
1. file: the protocol starts with "file:", and the following string is
the file's path.
2. fd: the protocol starts with "fd:", and the following string is the
fd's name.
Note:
1. If you want to use gdb to process the core, please specify -p option.
The reason why the -p option is not default is:
a. guest machine in a catastrophic state can have corrupted memory,
which we cannot trust.
b. The guest machine can be in read-mode even if paging is enabled.
For example: the guest machine uses ACPI to sleep, and ACPI sleep
state goes in real-mode.
2. If you don't want to dump all guest's memory, please specify the start
physical address and the length.

crash does not need the virtual address and physical address mapping, and the
mapping does not include the memory that is not referenced by the page table.
crash does not use the virtual address, so we can create the mapping for all
physical memory(virtual address is always 0). This patch provides a API to do
this thing, and it will be used in the following patch.

Add API to get all virtual address and physical address mapping.
If the guest doesn't use paging, the virtual address is equal to the phyical
address. The virtual address and physical address mapping is for gdb's user, and
it does not include the memory that is not referenced by the page table. So if
you want to use crash to anaylze the vmcore, please do not specify -p option.
the reason why the -p option is not default explicitly: guest machine in a
catastrophic state can have corrupted memory, which we cannot trust.
