This adds a VirtIO based balloon driver. It uses madvise() to actually balloon
the memory when possible.
Until 2.6.27, KVM forced memory pinning so we must disable ballooning unless the
kernel actually supports it when using KVM. It's always safe when using TCG.

Introduce functions to control logging of memory regions.
We select regions based on its start address, a
guest_physical_addr (target_phys_addr_t, in qemu nomenclature).
The main user of this interface right now is VGA optimization
(a way of reducing the number of mmio exits).

The third argument to ioctl is a ... which allows any value to be passed. In
practice, glibc always treats the argument as a void *.
Do the same thing for the kvm ioctls to keep things consistent with a
traditional ioctl.
