Virtqueue notify is currently handled synchronously in userspace virtio. This
prevents the vcpu from executing guest code while hardware emulation code
handles the notify.
On systems that support KVM, the ioeventfd mechanism can be used to make
virtqueue notify a lightweight exit by deferring hardware emulation to the
iothread and allowing the VM to continue execution. This model is similar to
how vhost receives virtqueue notifies.
The result of this change is improved performance for userspace virtio devices.
Virtio-blk throughput increases especially for multithreaded scenarios and
virtio-net transmit throughput increases substantially.
Some virtio devices are known to have guest drivers which expect a notify to be
processed synchronously and spin waiting for completion.
For virtio-net, this also seems to interact with the guest stack in strange
ways so that TCP throughput for small message sizes (~200bytes)
is harmed. Only enable ioeventfd for virtio-blk for now.
Care must be taken not to interfere with vhost-net, which uses host
notifiers. If the set_host_notifier() API is used by a device
virtio-pci will disable virtio-ioeventfd and let the device deal with
host notifiers as it wishes.
Finally, there used to be a limit of 6 KVM io bus devices inside the
kernel. On such a kernel, don't use ioeventfd for virtqueue host
notification since the limit is reached too easily. This ensures that
existing vhost-net setups (which always use ioeventfd) have ioeventfds
available so they can continue to work.
After migration and on VM change state (running/paused) virtio-ioeventfd
will enable/disable itself.
* VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK -> enable virtio-ioeventfd
* !VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK -> disable virtio-ioeventfd
* virtio_pci_set_host_notifier() -> disable virtio-ioeventfd
* vm_change_state(running=0) -> disable virtio-ioeventfd
* vm_change_state(running=1) -> enable virtio-ioeventfd

Slirp code tries to be smart an avoid data copy by using pointer to
the data. This solution leads to unaligned access, in this case
preq_addr, which is a 32-bit long structure. There is no real point
of avoiding data copy in a such case, as the value itself is smaller
or the same size as a pointer.
The patch replaces pointers to the preq_addr structure by the strcture
itself, and use the address 0.0.0.0 if no address has been requested
(this is not a valid address in such a request). It compares it with
htonl(0L) for correctness reasons, in case a code checker look for such
mistakes. It also uses memcpy() for copying the data, which takes care
of alignement issues.
This fixes an unaligned access on IA64 host while requesting a DHCP
address.

Improve constant loading in two ways:
- On all ARM versions, it's possible to load 0xffffff00 = -0x100 using
the mvn rd, #0. Fix the conditions.
- On <= ARMv6 versions, where movw and movt are not available, load the
constants using mov and orr with rotations depending on the constant
to load. This is very useful for example to load constants where the
low byte is 0. This reduce the generated code size by about 7%.
Also fix the coding style at the same time.

SH4 is using 16-bit instructions which means most of the constants are
loaded through a constant pool at the end of the subroutine. The same
memory page is therefore accessed in exec and read mode.
With the current implementation, a QEMU TLB entry is set to read or
read/write mode after an UTLB search and to exec mode after an ITLB
search, which causes a lot of TLB exceptions to switch from read or
read/write to exec and vice versa.
This patch optimizes that by already setting the QEMU TLB entry in read
or read/write mode when an UTLB entry is copied into ITLB (during an
ITLB miss). This improve the emulation speed by about 14%.

QEMU uses code retranslation to restore the CPU state when an exception
happens. For it to work the retranslation must not modify the generated
code. This is what is currently implemented in ARM TCG.
However on CPU that don't have icache/dcache/memory synchronised like
ARM, this requirement is stronger and code retranslation must not modify
the generated code "atomically", as the cache line might be flushed
at any moment (interrupt, exception, task switching), even if not
triggered by QEMU. The probability for this to happen is very low, and
depends on cache size and associativiy, machine load, interrupts, so the
symptoms are might happen randomly.
This requirement is currently not followed in tcg/arm, for the
load/store code, which basically has the following structure:
1) tlb access code is written
2) conditional fast path code is written
3) branch is written with a temporary target
4) slow path code is written
5) branch target is updated
The cache lines corresponding to the retranslated code is not flushed
after code retranslation as the generated code is supposed to be the
same. However if the cache line corresponding to the branch instruction
is flushed between step 3 and 5, and is not flushed again before the
code is executed again, the branch target is wrong. In the guest, the
symptoms are MMU page fault at a random addresses, which leads to
kernel page fault or segmentation faults.
The patch fixes this issue by avoiding writing the branch target until
it is known, that is by writing only the branch instruction first, and
later only the offset.
This fixes booting linux guests on ARM hosts (tested: arm, i386, mips,
mipsel, sh4, sparc).

The code in the linux-user ARM nwfpe emulation was incorrectly
checking only for quiet NaNs when it should have been checking
for any kind of NaN. This is probably because the code in
question was taken from the Linux kernel, whose copy of the
softfloat library had been modified so that float*_is_nan()
returned true for all NaNs, not just quiet ones. The qemu
equivalent function is float*_is_any_nan(), so use that.
NB that this code is really obsolete since nobody uses FPE
for actual arithmetic now; this is just cleanup following
the recent renaming of the NaN related functions.
