This defines new QOM object - IOMMUMemoryRegion - with MemoryRegion
as a parent.
This moves IOMMU-related fields from MR to IOMMU MR. However to avoid
dymanic QOM casting in fast path (address_space_translate, etc),
this adds an @is_iommu boolean flag to MR and provides new helper to
do simple cast to IOMMU MR - memory_region_get_iommu. The flag
is set in the instance init callback. This defines
memory_region_is_iommu as memory_region_get_iommu()!=NULL.
This switches MemoryRegion to IOMMUMemoryRegion in most places except
the ones where MemoryRegion may be an alias.

When there are more nodes than available memory to put the minimum
allowed memory by node, all the memory is put on the last node.
This is because we put (ram_size / nb_numa_nodes) &
~((1 << mc->numa_mem_align_shift) - 1); on each node, and in this
case the value is 0. This is particularly true with pseries,
as the memory must be aligned to 256MB.
To avoid this problem, this patch uses an error diffusion algorithm [1]
to distribute equally the memory on nodes.
We introduce numa_auto_assign_ram() function in MachineClass
to keep compatibility between machine type versions.
The legacy function is used with pseries-2.9, pc-q35-2.9 and
pc-i440fx-2.9 (and previous), the new one with all others.

qemu-system-ppc64 -S -nographic -nodefaults -monitor stdio -m 1G -smp 8 \

QEMU_BUILD_BUG_ON should use C11's _Static_assert, if the compiler supports it,
to provide more readable messages on failure.
We check for _Static_assert in configure, and set CONFIG_STATIC_ASSERT
accordingly. QEMU_BUILD_BUG_ON invokes _Static_assert if CONFIG_STATIC_ASSERT
is defined, and reverts to the old way otherwise.
That way, systems without C11 conforming compiler will still have the old
messages, as verified by intentionally breaking the configure check.
the following example output was generated by inverting the condition in

memory_region_snapshot_and_clear_dirty() will create a snapshot of the
dirty bitmap for the specified range, clear the dirty bitmap and return
the copy. The returned bitmap can be a bit larger than requested, the
range is expanded so the code can copy unsigned longs from the bitmap
and avoid atomic bit update operations.
memory_region_snapshot_get_dirty() will return the dirty status of

The multithreaded TCG implementation exposed deadlocks in the win32
condition variables: as implemented, qemu_cond_broadcast waited on
receivers, whereas the pthreads API it was intended to emulate does
not. This was causing a deadlock because broadcast was called while
holding the IO lock, as well as all possible waiters blocked on the
same lock.
This patch replaces all the custom synchronisation code for mutexes
and condition variables with native Windows primitives (SRWlocks and
condition variables) with the same semantics as their POSIX
equivalents. To enable that, it requires a Windows Vista or newer host
OS.

qemu-ga's socket activation support was not obeying the LISTEN_PID
environment variable, which avoids that a process uses a socket-activation
file descriptor meant for its parent.
Mess can for example ensue if a process forks a children before consuming
the socket-activation file descriptor and therefore setting O_CLOEXEC
on it.
Luckily, qemu-nbd also got socket activation code, and its copy does
support LISTEN_PID. Some extra fixups are needed to ensure that the
code can be used for both, but that's what this patch does. The
main change is to replace get_listen_fds's "consume" argument with
the FIRST_SOCKET_ACTIVATION_FD macro from the qemu-nbd code.

icount has become much slower after tcg_cpu_exec has stopped
using the BQL. There is also a latent bug that is masked by
the slowness.
The slowness happens because every occurrence of a QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL
timer now has to wake up the I/O thread and wait for it. The rendez-vous
is mediated by the BQL QemuMutex:
- handle_icount_deadline wakes up the I/O thread with BQL taken
- the I/O thread wakes up and waits on the BQL
- the VCPU thread releases the BQL a little later
- the I/O thread raises an interrupt, which calls qemu_cpu_kick
- the VCPU thread notices the interrupt, takes the BQL to
process it and waits on it
All this back and forth is extremely expensive, causing a 6 to 8-fold
slowdown when icount is turned on.
One may think that the issue is that the VCPU thread is too dependent
on the BQL, but then the latent bug comes in. I first tried removing
the BQL completely from the x86 cpu_exec, only to see everything break.
The only way to fix it (and make everything slow again) was to add a dummy
BQL lock/unlock pair.
This is because in -icount mode you really have to process the events
before the CPU restarts executing the next instruction. Therefore, this
series moves the processing of QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL timers straight in
the vCPU thread when running in icount mode.
The required changes include:
- make the timer notification callback wake up TCG's single vCPU thread
when run from another thread. By using async_run_on_cpu, the callback
can override all_cpu_threads_idle() when the CPU is halted.
- move handle_icount_deadline after qemu_tcg_wait_io_event, so that
the timer notification callback is invoked after the dummy work item
wakes up the vCPU thread
- make handle_icount_deadline run the timers instead of just waking the
I/O thread.
- stop processing the timers in the main loop
