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.

The refcounts actually correspond to 'active_ref' structures stored in a
GHashTable per "user" on the backend side (mostly, per XenDevice).
If we zero map_track[] on reset, then when the backend drivers get torn
down and release their mapping we hit the assert(s->map_track[ref] != 0)
in gnt_unref().
So leave them in place. Each backend driver will disconnect and reconnect
as the guest comes back up again and reconnects, and it all works out OK
in the end as the old refs get dropped.

This is only part of it; we will also need to get the PV back end drivers
to tear down their own mappings (or do it for them, but they kind of need
to stop using the pointers too).
Some more work on the actual PV back ends and xen-bus code is going to be
needed to really make soft reset and migration fully functional, and this
part is the basis for that.

This is limited to mapping a single grant at a time, because under Xen the
pages are mapped *contiguously* into qemu's address space, and that's very
hard to do when those pages actually come from anonymous mappings in qemu
in the first place.
Eventually perhaps we can look at using shared mappings of actual objects
for system RAM, and then we can make new mappings of the same backing
store (be it deleted files, shmem, whatever). But for now let's stick to
a page at a time.
