This patch adds very basic KVM support. KVM is a kernel module for Linux that
allows userspace programs to make use of hardware virtualization support. It
current supports x86 hardware virtualization using Intel VT-x or AMD-V. It
also supports IA64 VT-i, PPC 440, and S390.
This patch only implements the bare minimum support to get a guest booting. It
has very little impact the rest of QEMU and attempts to integrate nicely with
the rest of QEMU.
Even though this implementation is basic, it is significantly faster than TCG.
Booting and shutting down a Linux guest:
w/TCG: 1:32.36 elapsed 84% CPU
w/KVM: 0:31.14 elapsed 59% CPU
Right now, KVM is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled with
-enable-kvm. We can enable it by default later when we have had better
testing.

KVM needs to call CPUID from outside of the TCG code. This patch
splits out the CPUID logic into a separate helper that both the op
helper and KVM can call.

cpu_interrupt might be called while translating the TB, but before it
is linked into a potentially infinite loop and becomes env->current_tb.
Currently this can (and does) cause huge problems only when using
dyntick clock, with other (periodic) clocks host_alarm_handler will
eventually be executed resulting in a call to cpu_interrupt which will
reset the recursion of running TB and the damage is "only" latency.

Move addi_i64, muli_i64 and subi_i64 out of #if TCG_TARGET_REG_BITS

Revision 5500 of the qemu repository removed all code using
ppc_load_xer & ppc_store_xer as well as their implementation.
Another patch fixes it's usage in kvm-userspace for powerpc, but I think
that header can now be cleaned up, therefore this patch to qemu-devel.

The code in hw/cirrus_vga.c has changed a lot between CVE-2007-1320 has
been announced and the patch has been applied. As a consequence it has
wrongly applied and QEMU is still vulnerable to this bug if using VNC.

With the recent changes to the main loop, we no longer have unconditional
polling. This means we can now sleep in select() for much longer than we
previously did. This patch increases our select() sleep time from 10ms to 5s
which is effectively unlimited since we're going to wake up sooner than that
in almost all circumstances.
With this patch, I see the number of wake-ups with an idle dynamic ticks guest
drop from 80 per second to about 15 times per second.
