This adds a VirtIO based balloon driver. It uses madvise() to actually balloon
the memory when possible.
Until 2.6.27, KVM forced memory pinning so we must disable ballooning unless the
kernel actually supports it when using KVM. It's always safe when using TCG.

Introduce functions to control logging of memory regions.
We select regions based on its start address, a
guest_physical_addr (target_phys_addr_t, in qemu nomenclature).
The main user of this interface right now is VGA optimization
(a way of reducing the number of mmio exits).

struct kvm_userspace_memory_region does not use QEMU friendly types to
define memory slots. This results in lots of ugly casting with warnings
on 32-bit platforms.
This patch introduces a proper KVMSlot structure that uses QEMU types to
describe memory slots. This eliminates many of the casts and isolates
the type conversions to one spot.

Besides unassigned memory, we also don't care about MMIO.
So if we're giving an MMIO area that is already registered,
wipe it out.

KVM keeps track of physical memory based on slots in the kernel. The current
code that translates QEMU memory mappings to slots work but is not robust
in the fact of reregistering partial regions of memory.
This patch does the right thing for reregistering partial regions of memory. It
also prevents QEMU from using KVM private slots.

The third argument to ioctl is a ... which allows any value to be passed. In
practice, glibc always treats the argument as a void *.
Do the same thing for the kvm ioctls to keep things consistent with a
traditional ioctl.

We don't need to use cpu_loop_exit() because we never use the
condition codes so everything can be folded into a single case.
