RTAS is a hypervisor provided binary blob that a guest loads and
calls into to execute certain functions. It's similar to the
vsyscall page in Linux or the short lived VMCI paravirt interface
from VMware.
The QEMU implementation of the RTAS blob is simply a passthrough
that proxies all RTAS calls to the hypervisor via an hypercall.
While we pass a CPU argument for hypercall handling in QEMU, we
don't pass it for RTAS calls. Since some RTAs calls require
making hypercalls (normally RTAS is implemented as guest code) we
have nasty hacks to allow that.
Add a CPU argument to RTAS call handling so we can more easily
invoke hypercalls just as guest code would.

Under certain circumstances the emulation for the pseries "XICS" interrupt
controller was clearing a pending interrupt from the XISR register, without
also clearing the corresponding priority variable. This will cause
problems later when can trigger sanity checks in the under-development
in-kernel XICS implementation.

Many of these should be cleaned up with proper qdev-/QOM-ification.
Right now there are many catch-all headers in include/hw/ARCH depending
on cpu.h, and this makes it necessary to compile these files per-target.
However, fixing this does not belong in these patches.

Currently, the pseries machine initializes the cpus, then the XICS
interrupt controller. However, to support the upcoming in-kernel XICS
implementation we will need to initialize the irq controller before the
vcpus. This patch makes the necesssary rearrangement. This means the
xics init code can no longer auto-detect the number of cpus ("interrupt
servers" in XICS terminology) and so we must pass that in explicitly from
the platform code.
