kqemu introduces a number of restrictions on the i386 target. The worst is that
it prevents large memory from working in the default build.
Furthermore, kqemu is fundamentally flawed in a number of ways. It relies on
the TSC as a time source which will not be reliable on a multiple processor
system in userspace. Since most modern processors are multicore, this severely
limits the utility of kqemu.
kvm is a viable alternative for people looking to accelerate qemu and has the
benefit of being supported by the upstream Linux kernel. If someone can
implement work arounds to remove the restrictions introduced by kqemu, I'm
happy to avoid and/or revert this patch.
N.B. kqemu will still function in the 0.11 series but this patch removes it from
the 0.12 series.
Paul, please Ack or Nack this patch.

Using int for cpu_{in, out}[bwl] is inconsistent with other part
because for address or value, uintN_t is used by other qemu part.
At least, softmmu, CPU{Read, Write}MemoryFunc, pci, target_phys_addr_t
and the callers of cpu_{in, out}[bwl]().
This patch removes the inconsistency.
IO port has its own address space so define pio_addr_t as uint32_t
because PCI io space width is 32bit.
And use uint{32, 16, 8}_t for ioport value.
Changing signedness of value might cause subtle issue. However
only a suspicious caller is kvm_handle_io() which is ok. And other callers
pass unsigned value in the first place.

remove some #ifdef DEBUG_UNUSED_IOPORT in ioport.c
and use PRIx32 where appropriate
