Zap the global VGA_RAM_SIZE #define, make the vga ram size configurable
for standard vga and vmware vga. cirrus and qxl are left with a fixed
size (and private VGA_RAM_SIZE #define) for now.
qxl needs some non-trivial adjustments in the mode list handling deal
with a runtime-configurable size, which calls for a separate qxl patch.
cirrus emulates cards which have 2 MB (isa) and 4 MB (pci), so I guess
it would make sense to use these sizes. That change would break
migration though, so I left it fixed at 8 MB size. Making it
configurabls is pretty pointless for cirrus as we have to match real
hardware.

With pc-0.12, we map the video RAM both through the PCI BAR (the guest does
this) and through a fixed mapping at 0xe0000000. The memory API doesn't allow
this double map, and aborts.
Fix by using an alias.

Initially, vga_get_text_resolution returns a text resolution of 1 x 1
(vga register values are 0).
This is visible during MIPS Malta boot with SDL. It also occurs with the
i386 or x86_64 system emulation when it runs in single step mode:
QEMU changes the size of the SDL window to the smallest possible value
which is supported by the window manager. As this is not the calculated
size, QEMU switches to scaled mode. When the BIOS or the VGA driver sets
the normal text resolution, the window stays small and displays
microscopic characters.
Ignoring text resolutions of 1 x 1 or less avoids these problems.
A similar workaround already exists for too large resolutions.

Currently creating a memory region automatically registers it for
live migration. This differs from other state (which is enumerated
in a VMStateDescription structure) and ties the live migration code
into the memory core.
Decouple the two by introducing a separate API, vmstate_register_ram(),
for registering a RAM block for migration. Currently the same
implementation is reused, but later it can be moved into a separate list,
and registrations can be moved to VMStateDescription blocks.

Most VGA memory access modes require MMIO handling as they demand weird
logic to get a byte from or into the video RAM. However, there is one
exception: chain 4 mode with all memory planes enabled for writing. This
mode actually allows lineary mapping, which can then be combined with
dirty logging to accelerate KVM.
This patch accelerates specifically VBE accesses like they are used by
grub in graphical mode. Not only the standard VGA adapter benefits from
this, also vmware and spice in VGA mode.

On big endian hosts, the curses interface is unusable: the emulated
graphic card only displays garbage, while the monitor interface displays
nothing (or rather only spaces).
The curses interface is waiting for data in native endianness, so
console_write_ch() should not do any conversion. The conversion should
be done when reading the video buffer in hw/vga.c. I supposed this
buffer is in little endian mode, though it's not impossible that the
data is actually in guest endianness. I currently have no big endian

Old versions of the BOCHs VGA BIOS (cira 2003) made use of VBE
registers at 0xff80/81. In VBE API version 0xb0c2 these were
moved to 0x1ce/cf. Unfortunately, QEMU still registers handlers
for the old range. If a guest attempts to assign an I/O device
overlapping this region, QEMU exits with a hw_error. Windows
guests seem to like to assign I/O devices to the high end of
the address space, so it's pretty easy to hot add an rtl8139
to a Win2k8 guest and trigger the bug. I can't find any reason
to register these handlers, so let's remove the cruft.

Apparently, VBE maps the VGA vram to a fixed physical location. KVM requires
that all mappings of the VGA vram have dirty tracking enabled on them. Any
access to the VGA vram through the VBE mapping currently fails to result in
dirty page tracking updates causing a black screen.
This is the true root cause of VMware VGA not working correctly under KVM and
likely also an issue with some of the std-vga black screen issues too.
Cirrus does not enable VBE so it would not be a problem when using Cirrus.

This causes ctrl+alt+u or ctrl+alt+f to not work when windows hasn't been

hw_invalidate.
This reverts commit 0bd8246bfe.
There is absolutely no need to call reset functions when initializing
devices. Since we are already registering them, calling qemu_system_reset()
should suffice. Actually, it is what happens when we reboot the machine,
and using the same process instead of a special case semantics will even
allow us to find bugs easier.
Furthermore, the fact that we initialize things like the cpu quite early,
leads to the need to introduce synchronization stuff like qemu_system_cond.
This patch removes it entirely. All we need to do is call qemu_system_reset()
only when we're already sure the system is up and running
I tested it with qemu (with and without io-thread) and qemu-kvm, and it
seems to be doing okay - although qemu-kvm uses a slightly different patch.
