UMONITOR, UMWAIT and TPAUSE are a set of user wait instructions.
This patch adds support for user wait instructions in KVM. Availability
of the user wait instructions is indicated by the presence of the CPUID
feature flag WAITPKG CPUID.0x07.0x0:ECX[5]. User wait instructions may
be executed at any privilege level, and use IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL MSR to
set the maximum time.
The patch enable the umonitor, umwait and tpause features in KVM.
Because umwait and tpause can put a (psysical) CPU into a power saving
state, by default we dont't expose it to kvm and enable it only when
guest CPUID has it. And use QEMU command-line "-overcommit cpu-pm=on"
(enable_cpu_pm is enabled), a VM can use UMONITOR, UMWAIT and TPAUSE
instructions. If the instruction causes a delay, the amount of time
delayed is called here the physical delay. The physical delay is first
computed by determining the virtual delay (the time to delay relative to
the VM’s timestamp counter). Otherwise, UMONITOR, UMWAIT and TPAUSE cause
an invalid-opcode exception(#UD).

Trying to reboot a VM while a migration is running can
move to the prelaunch state (because of the reset) while
the runstate is in finish migrate state.
As the logical step after the finish migrate is postmigrate,
this can create an invalid state transition from prelaunch state
to postmigrate state and this raises an error and aborts:
invalid runstate transition: 'prelaunch' -> 'postmigrate'
As we are not able to manage reset in finish migrate state the
best we can do is to ignore any changes and delay them until
the next state which should be postmigrate and which should allow
this kind of transition.

Hyper-V TLFS specifies this enlightenment as:
"NoNonArchitecturalCoreSharing - Indicates that a virtual processor will never
share a physical core with another virtual processor, except for virtual
processors that are reported as sibling SMT threads. This can be used as an
optimization to avoid the performance overhead of STIBP".
However, STIBP is not the only implication. It was found that Hyper-V on
KVM doesn't pass MD_CLEAR bit to its guests if it doesn't see
NoNonArchitecturalCoreSharing bit.
KVM reports NoNonArchitecturalCoreSharing in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_HV_CPUID to
indicate that SMT on the host is impossible (not supported of forcefully
disabled).
Implement NoNonArchitecturalCoreSharing support in QEMU as tristate:
'off' - the feature is disabled (default)
'on' - the feature is enabled. This is only safe if vCPUS are properly
pinned and correct topology is exposed. As CPU pinning is done outside
of QEMU the enablement decision will be made on a higher level.
'auto' - copy KVM setting. As during live migration SMT settings on the
source and destination host may differ this requires us to add a migration
blocker.

If we try to start QEMU with "-k en-us", qemu prints a message and exits
with:
qemu-system-i386: could not read keymap file: 'en-us'
It's because this function is called way too early, before
qemu_add_data_dir() is called, and so qemu_find_file() fails.
To fix that, move init_keyboard_layout() from the class init function to the

With stereo playback, they need about 375 minutes of continuous audio
playback to overflow, which is usually not a problem (as stopping and
later resuming playback resets the counters). But with 7.1 audio, they
only need about 95 minutes to overflow.
After the overflow, the buf->prod % USBAUDIO_PACKET_SIZE(channels)
assertion no longer holds true, which will result in overflowing the
buffer. With 64 bit variables, it would take about 762000 years to
overflow.

This will allow us to disable mixeng when we use a decent backend.
Disabling mixeng have a few advantages:
* we no longer convert the audio output from one format to another, when
the underlying audio system would just convert it to a third format.
We no longer convert, only the underlying system, when needed.
* the underlying system probably has better resampling and sample format
converting methods anyway...
* we may support formats that the mixeng currently does not support (S24
or float samples, more than two channels)
* when using an audio server (like pulseaudio) different sound card
outputs will show up as separate streams, even if we use only one
backend
Disadvantages:
* audio capturing no longer works (wavcapture, and vnc audio extension)
* some backends only support a single playback stream or very picky
about the audio format. In this case we can't disable mixeng.
Originally thw two main use cases of the disabled option was: using
unsupported audio formats (5.1 and 7.1 audio) and having different
pulseaudio streams per audio frontend. Since we can have multiple
-audiodevs, the latter is not that important, so currently you only need
this option if you want to use 5.1 or 7.1 audio (implemented in a later
patch), otherwise it's probably better to stick to the old and tried
mixeng, since it's less picky about the backends.
The ideal solution would be to port as much as possible to gstreamer,
but this is currently out of scope:
