this patch fixes the screendump functionality that was recently broken;
it must be applied *after* PATCH 5, 6 and 7 of the original displaystate
change patch series.
In fact the other patches make much easier to solve the screendump
problem because they make the console switching mechanism more robust.

Patch 5/7
This patch changes the graphical_console_init function to return an
allocated DisplayState instead of a QEMUConsole.
This patch contains just the graphical_console_init change and few other
modifications mainly in console.c and vl.c.
It was necessary to move the display frontends (e.g. sdl and vnc)
initialization after machine->init in vl.c.
This patch does *not* include any required changes to any device, these
changes come with the following patches.
Patch 6/7
This patch changes the QEMUMachine init functions not to take a
DisplayState as an argument because is not needed any more;
In few places the graphic hardware initialization function was called
only if DisplayState was not NULL, now they are always called.
Apart from these cases, the rest are all mechanical substitutions.
Patch 7/7
This patch updates the graphic device code to use the new
graphical_console_init function.
As for the previous patch, in few places graphical_console_init was called
only if DisplayState was not NULL, now it is always called.
Apart from these cases, the rest are all mechanical substitutions.

This patch changes the DisplayState interface adding support for
multiple frontends at the same time (sdl and vnc) and implements most
of the benefit of the shared_buf patch without the added complexity.
Currently DisplayState is managed by sdl (or vnc) and sdl (or vnc) is
also responsible for allocating the data and setting the depth.
Vga.c (or another backend) will do any necessary conversion.
The idea is to change it so that is vga.c (or another backend) together
with console.c that fully manage the DisplayState interface allocating
data and setting the depth (either 16 or 32 bit, if the guest uses a
different resolution or is in text mode, vga.c (or another backend) is
in charge of doing the conversion seamlessly).
The other idea is that DisplayState supports *multiple* frontends
like sdl and vnc; each of them can register some callbacks to be called
when a display event occurs.
The interesting changes are:
- the new structures and related functions in console.h and console.c
in particular the following functions are very helpful to manage a
DisplaySurface:
qemu_create_displaysurface
qemu_resize_displaysurface
qemu_create_displaysurface_from
qemu_free_displaysurface
- console_select and qemu_console_resize in console.c
this two functions manage multiple consoles on a single host display
- moving code around in hw/vga.c
as for the shared_buf patch this is necessary to be able to handle a dynamic
DisplaySurface bpp
- changes to vga_draw_graphic in hw/vga.c
this is the place where the DisplaySurface buffer is shared with the
videoram, when possible;
Compared to the last version the only changes are:
- do not remove support to dpy_copy in cirrus_vga
- change the name of the displaysurface handling functions

Do not handle bgr host displays in the backends.
Right now a bgr flag exists so that sdl can set it, if the SDL_Surface
is bgr.
Afterwards the graphic device (e.g. vga.c) does the needed conversion.
With this patch series is sdl that is responsible for rendering the format
provided by the graphic device that must provide a DisplaySurface
(ds->surface) in 16 or 32 bpp, rgb.
Afterwards sdl creates a SDL_Surface from the given DisplaySurface and
blits it into the main SDL_Surface using SDL_BlitSurface.
Everything is handled by sdl transparently, because SDL_BlitSurface is
perfectly capable of handling bgr displays by itself.

The vga reset handler overwrites some cirrus registers, causing reboots
to corrupt cirrus state to the point that guests can only bring up 640x480
resolutions.
Fix by adding a dedicated cirrus reset handler (which calls the common vga
handler).

MMIO exits are more expensive in KVM or Xen than in QEMU because they
involve, at least, privilege transitions. However, MMIO write
operations can be effectively batched if those writes do not have side
effects.
Good examples of this include VGA pixel operations when in a planar
mode. As it turns out, we can get a nice boost in other areas too.
Laurent mentioned a 9.7% performance boost in iperf with the coalesced
MMIO changes for the e1000 when he originally posted this work for KVM.

Hypervisors like KVM perform badly while doing mmio on
a loop, because it'll generate an exit on each access.
This is the case with VGA, which results in very bad
performance.
In this patch, we map the linear frame buffer as RAM,
make sure it has dirty region tracking enabled, and then
just let the region to be written.
