We previously allocated 32-bits per temp for the next_free_temp entry.
We now allocate 4 bits per temp across the 4 bitmaps.
Using a linked list meant that if a translator is tweeked, resulting in
temps being freed in a different order, that would have follow-on effects
throughout the TB. Always allocating the lowest free temp means that
follow-on effects are minimized, which can make it easier to diff output
when debugging the translators.

New ARM boards are generally expected to boot their secondary CPUs
via the PSCI interface, rather than ad-hoc "loop around in holding
pen code" as hw/arm/boot.c implements. In particular this is
necessary for mach-virt kernels. For KVM we achieve this by creating
the VCPUs with a feature flag marking them as starting in PSCI
powered-down state; the guest kernel will then make a PSCI call
(implemented in the host kernel) to start the secondaries at
an address of its choosing once it has got the primary CPU up.
Implement this setting of the feature flag, controlled by a
qdev property for ARMCPU, which board code can set if it is a
PSCI system.

Device trees created with create_device_tree() may not have any
entries in their reservemap, because the FDT API requires that the
reservemap is completed before any FDT nodes are added, and
create_device_tree() itself creates a node. However we were not
calling fdt_finish_reservemap(), which meant that there was no
terminator in the reservemap list and whatever happened to be at the
start of the FDT data section would end up being interpreted as
reservemap entries. Avoid this by calling fdt_finish_reservemap()

though the lower-layer is disconnected. This is OK when the network
is set up as a HUB since the the guest may be connected to other HUB
ports too, but when it's set up as a netdev, it makes thinkgs worse.
The patch addresses this by setting the peers link down only when the
peer is not a HUBPORT device. With this patch, in the following config
-netdev tap,id=net0 -device e1000,mac=XXXXX,netdev=net0
when net0 link is turned off, the guest e1000 shows lower-layer link
down. This allows guests to boot much faster in such configurations.
With windows guest, it also allows the network to recover properly
since windows will not configure the link-local IPv4 address, and
when the link is turned on, the proper address address is configured.
