ea375f9ab8 KVM: Rework VCPU state writeback API
This grand cleanup drops all reset and vmsave/load related
synchronization points in favor of four(!) generic hooks:

- cpu_synchronize_all_states in qemu_savevm_state_complete
  (initial sync from kernel before vmsave)
- cpu_synchronize_all_post_init in qemu_loadvm_state
  (writeback after vmload)
- cpu_synchronize_all_post_init in main after machine init
- cpu_synchronize_all_post_reset in qemu_system_reset
  (writeback after system reset)

These writeback points + the existing one of VCPU exec after
cpu_synchronize_state map on three levels of writeback:

- KVM_PUT_RUNTIME_STATE (during runtime, other VCPUs continue to run)
- KVM_PUT_RESET_STATE   (on synchronous system reset, all VCPUs stopped)
- KVM_PUT_FULL_STATE    (on init or vmload, all VCPUs stopped as well)

This level is passed to the arch-specific VCPU state writing function
that will decide which concrete substates need to be written. That way,
no writer of load, save or reset functions that interact with in-kernel
KVM states will ever have to worry about synchronization again. That
also means that a lot of reasons for races, segfaults and deadlocks are
eliminated.

cpu_synchronize_state remains untouched, just as Anthony suggested. We
continue to need it before reading or writing of VCPU states that are
also tracked by in-kernel KVM subsystems.

Consequently, this patch removes many cpu_synchronize_state calls that
are now redundant, just like remaining explicit register syncs.

4c0960c0c4 kvm: Simplify cpu_synchronize_state()
cpu_synchronize_state() is a little unreadable since the 'modified'
argument isn't self-explanatory.  Simplify it by making it always
synchronize the kernel state into qemu, and automatically flush the
registers back to the kernel if they've been synchronized on this
exit.

18b21a2f83 target-ppc: retain l{w,d}arx loaded value
We do this so we can check on the corresponding stc{w,d}x. whether the
value has changed.  It's a poor man's form of implementing atomic
operations and is valid only for NPTL usermode Linux emulation.

b0a46a333a kvm: Add missing bits to support live migration
This patch adds the missing hooks to allow live migration in KVM mode.
It adds proper synchronization before/after saving/restoring the VCPU
states (note: PPC is untested), hooks into
cpu_physical_memory_set_dirty_tracking() to enable dirty memory logging
at KVM level, and synchronizes that drity log into QEMU's view before
running ram_live_save().

2c9fade200 target-ppc: IBM PowerPC 440EP Bamboo reference board emulation
Since most IO devices are integrated into the 440EP chip, "Bamboo support"
mostly entails implementing the -kernel, -initrd, and -append options.

These options are implemented by loading the guest as if u-boot had done it,
i.e. loading a flat device tree, updating it to hold initrd addresses, ram
size, and command line, and passing the FDT address in r3.

Since we use it with KVM, we enable the virtio block driver and include hooks
necessary for KVM support.
