The primary console is special because the toolstack maps a page into
the guest for its ring, and also allocates the guest-side event channel.
The guest's grant table is even primed to export that page using a known
grant ref#. Add support for all that in emulated mode, so that we can
have a primary console.
For reasons unclear, the backends running under real Xen don't just use
a mapping of the well-known GNTTAB_RESERVED_CONSOLE grant ref (which
would also be in the ring-ref node in XenStore). Instead, the toolstack
sets the ring-ref node of the primary console to the GFN of the guest
page. The backend is expected to handle that special case and map it
with foreignmem operations instead.
We don't have an implementation of foreignmem ops for emulated Xen mode,
so just make it map GNTTAB_RESERVED_CONSOLE instead. This would probably
work for real Xen too, but we can't work out how to make real Xen create
a primary console of type "ioemu" to make QEMU drive it, so we can't
test that; might as well leave it as it is for now under Xen.
Now at last we can boot the Xen PV shim and run PV kernels in QEMU.

by raising the vector whenever the vCPU's vcpu_info->evtchn_upcall_pending
flag is set.

For the shared info page and for grant tables, Xen shares its own pages
from the "Xen heap" to the guest. The guest requests that a given page
from a certain address space (XENMAPSPACE_shared_info, etc.) be mapped
to a given GPA using the XENMEM_add_to_physmap hypercall.
To support that in qemu when *emulating* Xen, create a memory region
(migratable) and allow it to be mapped as an overlay when requested.
Xen theoretically allows the same page to be mapped multiple times
into the guest, but that's hard to track and reinstate over migration,
so we automatically *unmap* any previous mapping when creating a new
one. This approach has been used in production with.... a non-trivial
number of guests expecting true Xen, without any problems yet being
noticed.
This adds just the shared info page for now. The grant tables will be
a larger region, and will need to be overlaid one page at a time. I
think that means I need to create separate aliases for each page of
the overall grant_frames region, so that they can be mapped individually.
