f5d6f51ba6 kvm: sync vcpu state during initialization (Hollis Blanchard)
Currently on x86, qemu initializes CPUState but KVM ignores it and does its
own vcpu initialization. However, PowerPC KVM needs to be able to set the
initial register state to support the -kernel and -append options.

f65ed4c152 KVM: Coalesced MMIO support
MMIO exits are more expensive in KVM or Xen than in QEMU because they 
involve, at least, privilege transitions.  However, MMIO write 
operations can be effectively batched if those writes do not have side 
effects.

Good examples of this include VGA pixel operations when in a planar 
mode.  As it turns out, we can get a nice boost in other areas too.  
Laurent mentioned a 9.7% performance boost in iperf with the coalesced 
MMIO changes for the e1000 when he originally posted this work for KVM.

d85dc283fa Disable KVM support if the kernel modules have broken memory slot handling
Prior to kvm-80, memory slot deletion was broken in the KVM kernel 
modules.  In kvm-81, a new capability is introduced to signify that this
problem has been fixed.

Since we rely on being able to delete memory slots, refuse to work with 
any kernel module that does not have this capability present.

bd3220870f Add virtio-balloon support
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.

5832d1f2f5 kvm: Introduce kvm logging interface (Glauber Costa)
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).

34fc643fd3 Make KVMSlot a real structure
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.

a3d6841ff8 kvm: de-register mem region for MMIO (Glauber Costa)
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.

62d60e8cc4 Make KVM slot management more robust
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.

984b518147 Define kvm_ioctl in the same way as ioctl
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.
