The Big QEMU Lock (BQL) has many names and they are confusing. The
actual QemuMutex variable is called qemu_global_mutex but it's commonly
referred to as the BQL in discussions and some code comments. The
locking APIs, however, are called qemu_mutex_lock_iothread() and
qemu_mutex_unlock_iothread().
The "iothread" name is historic and comes from when the main thread was
split into into KVM vcpu threads and the "iothread" (now called the main
loop thread). I have contributed to the confusion myself by introducing
a separate --object iothread, a separate concept unrelated to the BQL.
The "iothread" name is no longer appropriate for the BQL. Rename the
locking APIs to:
- void bql_lock(void)
- void bql_unlock(void)
- bool bql_locked(void)
There are more APIs with "iothread" in their names. Subsequent patches
will rename them. There are also comments and documentation that will be
updated in later patches.

This had been pulled in via qemu/plugin.h from hw/core/cpu.h,
but that will be removed.

Move the various memalign-related functions out of osdep.h and into
their own header, which we include only where they are used.
While we're doing this, add some brief documentation comments.

When updating the R bit of a PTE, the Hash64 MMU was using a wrong byte
offset, causing the first byte of the adjacent PTE to be corrupted.
This caused a panic when booting FreeBSD, using the Hash MMU.

The hypercalls h_enter, h_remove, h_bulk_remove, h_protect, and h_read,
have been moved to spapr_softmmu.c with the functions they depend on. The
functions is_ram_address and push_sregs_to_kvm_pr are not static anymore
as functions on both spapr_hcall.c and spapr_softmmu.c depend on them.
The hypercalls h_resize_hpt_prepare and h_resize_hpt_commit have been
divided, the KVM part stayed in spapr_hcall.c while the softmmu part
was moved to spapr_softmmu.c
