Markus Armbruster 4c315c2766 qdev: Protect device-list-properties against broken devices 
Several devices don't survive object_unref(object_new(T)): they crash
or hang during cleanup, or they leave dangling pointers behind.

This breaks at least device-list-properties, because
qmp_device_list_properties() needs to create a device to find its
properties.  Broken in commit f4eb32b "qmp: show QOM properties in
device-list-properties", v2.1.  Example reproducer:

    $ qemu-system-aarch64 -nodefaults -display none -machine none -S -qmp stdio
    {"QMP": {"version": {"qemu": {"micro": 50, "minor": 4, "major": 2}, "package": ""}, "capabilities": []}}
    { "execute": "qmp_capabilities" }
    {"return": {}}
    { "execute": "device-list-properties", "arguments": { "typename": "pxa2xx-pcmcia" } }
    qemu-system-aarch64: /home/armbru/work/qemu/memory.c:1307: memory_region_finalize: Assertion `((&mr->subregions)->tqh_first == ((void *)0))' failed.
    Aborted (core dumped)
    [Exit 134 (SIGABRT)]

Unfortunately, I can't fix the problems in these devices right now.
Instead, add DeviceClass member cannot_destroy_with_object_finalize_yet
to mark them:

* Hang during cleanup (didn't debug, so I can't say why):
  "realview_pci", "versatile_pci".

* Dangling pointer in cpus: most CPUs, plus "allwinner-a10", "digic",
  "fsl,imx25", "fsl,imx31", "xlnx,zynqmp", because they create such
  CPUs

* Assert kvm_enabled(): "host-x86_64-cpu", host-i386-cpu",
  "host-powerpc64-cpu", "host-embedded-powerpc-cpu",
  "host-powerpc-cpu" (the powerpc ones can't currently reach the
  assertion, because the CPUs are only registered when KVM is enabled,
  but the assertion is arguably in the wrong place all the same)

Make qmp_device_list_properties() fail cleanly when the device is so
marked.  This improves device-list-properties from "crashes, hangs or
leaves dangling pointers behind" to "fails".  Not a complete fix, just
a better-than-nothing work-around.  In the above reproducer,
device-list-properties now fails with "Can't list properties of device
'pxa2xx-pcmcia'".

This also protects -device FOO,help, which uses the same machinery
since commit ef52358 "qdev-monitor: include QOM properties in -device
FOO, help output", v2.2.  Example reproducer:

    $ qemu-system-aarch64 -machine none -device pxa2xx-pcmcia,help

Before:

    qemu-system-aarch64: .../memory.c:1307: memory_region_finalize: Assertion `((&mr->subregions)->tqh_first == ((void *)0))' failed.

After:

    Can't list properties of device 'pxa2xx-pcmcia'

README 

LatticeMico32 target
--------------------

General
-------
All opcodes including the JUART CSRs are supported.


JTAG UART
---------
JTAG UART is routed to a serial console device. For the current boards it
is the second one. Ie to enable it in the qemu virtual console window use
the following command line parameters:
  -serial vc -serial vc
This will make serial0 (the lm32_uart) and serial1 (the JTAG UART)
available as virtual consoles.


Semihosting
-----------
Semihosting on this target is supported. Some system calls like read, write
and exit are executed on the host if semihosting is enabled. See
target/lm32-semi.c for all supported system calls. Emulation aware programs
can use this mechanism to shut down the virtual machine and print to the
host console. See the tcg tests for an example.


Special instructions
--------------------
The translation recognizes one special instruction to halt the cpu:
  and r0, r0, r0
On real hardware this instruction is a nop. It is not used by GCC and
should (hopefully) not be used within hand-crafted assembly.
Insert this instruction in your idle loop to reduce the cpu load on the
host.


Ignoring the MSB of the address bus
-----------------------------------
Some SoC ignores the MSB on the address bus. Thus creating a shadow memory
area. As a general rule, 0x00000000-0x7fffffff is cached, whereas
0x80000000-0xffffffff is not cached and used to access IO devices. This
behaviour can be enabled with:
  cpu_lm32_set_phys_msb_ignore(env, 1);
