Commit #5620 revealed an issue of the SSTEP_NOIRQ masking that was
applied on all interrupt sources (including internal ones) when single
stepping through the guest. Due to that commit, we now ended up in an
infinite loop when CPU_INTERRUPT_EXIT was pending on SSTEP resume. That
was due to #5620 eating all TBs while CPU_INTERRUPT_EXIT is pending, but
SSTEP_NOIRQ preventing CPU_INTERRUPT_EXIT to be processed.
What SSTEP_NOIRQ should actually do is to block the delivery of all
external, guest visible interrupts. With the fix below applied, single
stepping now works again.

This patch adds very basic KVM support. KVM is a kernel module for Linux that
allows userspace programs to make use of hardware virtualization support. It
current supports x86 hardware virtualization using Intel VT-x or AMD-V. It
also supports IA64 VT-i, PPC 440, and S390.
This patch only implements the bare minimum support to get a guest booting. It
has very little impact the rest of QEMU and attempts to integrate nicely with
the rest of QEMU.
Even though this implementation is basic, it is significantly faster than TCG.
Booting and shutting down a Linux guest:
w/TCG: 1:32.36 elapsed 84% CPU
w/KVM: 0:31.14 elapsed 59% CPU
Right now, KVM is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled with
-enable-kvm. We can enable it by default later when we have had better
testing.

cpu_interrupt might be called while translating the TB, but before it
is linked into a potentially infinite loop and becomes env->current_tb.
Currently this can (and does) cause huge problems only when using
dyntick clock, with other (periodic) clocks host_alarm_handler will
eventually be executed resulting in a call to cpu_interrupt which will
reset the recursion of running TB and the damage is "only" latency.

* break 8 sets ERP to the current insn.
* First shot at S flag single-stepping.
* Make it easier to use the local disasm.

This patch adds check for all SH4 instructions which are
executed only in privileged mode.

* Dont flush the entire qemu tlb when the $pid changes. Instead we go through
the guests TLB and choose entries that need to be flushed.
* Add env->dslot and handle delayslots at pageboundaries.
* Remove some unused code.

This patch allows the qemu backend debugger to single step an
instruction without running the hardware interrupts.

* Support both the I and D MMUs and improve the accuracy of the MMU model.
* Handle the automatic user/kernel stack pointer switching when leaving or entering user mode.
* Move the CCS evaluation into helper funcs.
* Make sure user-mode cannot change flags only writeable in kernel mode.
* More conversion of the translator into TCG.
* Handle exceptions while in a delayslot.

* Clean up the interrupt handling a bit.
* Connect some NOR flash to the test board.
