ROM files that are put in FW CFG are copied to guest ram, by BIOS, but
they are not backed by RAM so they don't get migrated.
Each time we change two bytes in such a ROM this breaks cross-version
migration: since we can migrate after BIOS has read the first byte but
before it has read the second one, getting an inconsistent state.
Future-proof this by creating, for each such ROM,
an MR serving as the backing store.
This MR is never mapped into guest memory, but it's registered
as RAM so it's migrated with the guest.
Naturally, this only helps for -M 1.7 and up, older machine types
will still have the cross-version migration bug.
Luckily the race window for the problem to trigger is very small,
which is also likely why we didn't notice the cross-version
migration bug in testing yet.

Basically, in HW the layout of the interrupt network is:
- One ICP per processor thread (the "presenter"). This contains the
registers to fetch a pending interrupt (ack), EOI, and control the
processor priority.
- One ICS per logical source of interrupts (ie, one per PCI host
bridge, and a few others here or there). This contains the per-interrupt
source configuration (target processor(s), priority, mask) and the
per-interrupt internal state.
Under PAPR, there is a single "virtual" ICS ... somewhat (it's a bit
oddball what pHyp does here, arguably there are two but we can ignore
that distinction). There is no register level access. A pair of firmware
(RTAS) calls is used to configure each virtual interrupt.
So our model here is somewhat the same. We have one ICS in the emulated
XICS which arguably *is* the emulated XICS, there's no point making it a
separate "device", that would just be gross, and each VCPU has an
associated ICP.
Yet we call the "XICS" struct icp_state and then the ICPs
'struct icp_server_state'. It's particularly confusing when all of the
functions have xics_prefixes yet take *icp arguments.
Rename:
struct icp_state -> XICSState
struct icp_server_state -> ICPState
struct ics_state -> ICSState
struct ics_irq_state -> ICSIRQState

This adds the necessary pieces to implement savevm / migration for the
pseries machine. The most complex part here is migrating the hash
table - for the paravirtualized pseries machine the guest's hash page
table is not stored within guest memory, but externally and the guest
accesses it via hypercalls.
This patch uses a hypervisor reserved bit of the HPTE as a dirty bit
(tracking changes to the HPTE itself, not the page it references).
This is used to implement a live migration style incremental save and
restore of the hash table contents.
Normally a hash table is 16MB but it can get bigger depending on how
much RAM the guest has. Due to its nature, updates to it are random so
the live migration style is used for it.
In addition it adds VMStateDescription information to save and restore
the (few) remaining pieces of state information needed by the pseries
machine.

Bug description: QEMU currently gets all bits from GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID
for CPUID leaf 0xA and passes them directly to the guest. This makes
the guest ABI depend on host kernel and host CPU capabilities, and
breaks live migration if we migrate between hosts with different
capabilities (e.g., different number of PMU counters).
Add a "pmu" property to X86CPU, and set it to true only on "-cpu host",
or on pc-*-1.5 and older machine-types.
For now, setting pmu=on will enable the current passthrough mode that
doesn't have any ABI stability guarantees, but in the future we may
implement a mode where the PMU CPUID bits are stable and configurable.

Old qemu versions required that 1st s/g entry is the header.
Since QEMU 1.5, patchset titled "virtio-net: iovec handling cleanup"
removed this limitation but a feature bit is needed so guests know it's
safe to lay out header differently.
This patch applies on top and adds such a feature bit to QEMU.
It is set by default for virtio-net.
virtio net header inline with the data is beneficial
for latency and small packet bandwidth - guest driver
code utilizing this feature has been acked but missed 3.11
by a narrow margin, it's pending for 3.12.
This feature bit is cleared by default when compatibility with old
machine types is requested.
Other performance-sensitive devices (blk and scsi)
don't yet support arbitrary s/g layouts, so
we only set this bit for virtio-net for now.
There are plans to allow arbitrary layouts there, but
no code has been posted yet.

The DBDMA engine really just reads bytes from a producing device (IDE
in our case) and shoves these bytes into memory. It doesn't care whether
any alignment takes place or not.
Our code today however assumes that block accesses always happen on
sector (512 byte) boundaries. This is a fair assumption for most cases.
However, Mac OS X really likes to do unaligned, incomplete accesses
that it finishes with the next DMA request.
So we need to read / write the unaligned bits independent of the actual
asynchronous request, because that one can only handle 512-byte-aligned
data. We also need to cache these unaligned sectors until the next DMA
request, at which point the data might be successfully flushed from the
pipe.
