Port qemu-kvm's

    MCE: Relay UCR MCE to guest

    UCR (uncorrected recovery) MCE is supported in recent Intel CPUs,
    where some hardware error such as some memory error can be reported
    without PCC (processor context corrupted). To recover from such MCE,
    the corresponding memory will be unmapped, and all processes accessing
    the memory will be killed via SIGBUS.

    For KVM, if QEMU/KVM is killed, all guest processes will be killed
    too. So we relay SIGBUS from host OS to guest system via a UCR MCE
    injection. Then guest OS can isolate corresponding memory and kill
    necessary guest processes only. SIGBUS sent to main thread (not VCPU
    threads) will be broadcast to all VCPU threads as UCR MCE.

    Add MCE simulation support to qemu/kvm

    KVM ioctls are used to initialize MCE simulation and inject MCE. The
    real MCE simulation is implemented in Linux kernel. The Kernel part
    has been merged.
