This patch combines qtest and -icount together to turn the vm_clock
into a source that can be fully managed by the client. To this end new
commands clock_step and clock_set are added. Hooking them with libqtest
is left as an exercise to the reader.

The idea behind qtest is pretty simple. Instead of executing a CPU via TCG or
KVM, rely on an external process to send events to the device model that the CPU
would normally generate.
qtest presents itself as an accelerator. In addition, a new option is added to
establish a qtest server (-qtest) that takes a character device. This is what
allows the external process to send CPU events to the device model.
qtest uses a simple line based protocol to send the events. Documentation of
that protocol is in qtest.c.
I considered reusing the monitor for this job. Adding interrupts would be a bit
difficult. In addition, logging would also be difficult.
qtest has extensive logging support. All protocol commands are logged with
time stamps using a new command line option (-qtest-log). Logging is important
since ultimately, this is a feature for debugging.

On real hardware, NMI button events are injected via the LINT1 line of
the APICs. E.g. kdump expect this wiring and gets upset if the per-APIC
LINT1 mask is not respected, i.e. if NMIs are injected to VCPUs that
should not receive them. Change the APIC emulation code to reflect this.

Many places in QEMU call qemu_aio_flush() to complete all pending
asynchronous I/O. Most of these places actually want to drain all block
requests but there is no block layer API to do so.

across all BlockDriverStates to complete. As a bonus we perform checks

It should be a matter of allowing the transition POSTMIGRATE ->
FINISH_MIGRATE, but it turns out that the VM won't do the

the transition even if the VM is already stopped.

Currently, only vm_start() and vm_stop() change the VM state.
That's, the state is only changed when starting or stopping the VM.
This commit adds the runstate_set() function, which makes it possible
to also do state transitions when the VM is stopped or running.
Additional states are also added and the current state is stored.

Today, when notifying a VM state change with vm_state_notify(),
we pass a VMSTOP macro as the 'reason' argument. This is not ideal
because the VMSTOP macros tell why qemu stopped and not exactly
what the current VM state is.
One example to demonstrate this problem is that vm_start() calls
vm_state_notify() with reason=0, which turns out to be VMSTOP_USER.
This commit fixes that by replacing the VMSTOP macros with a proper
state type called RunState.

Enabling the I/O thread by default seems like an important part of declaring
1.0. Besides allowing true SMP support with KVM, the I/O thread means that the
TCG VCPU doesn't have to multiplex itself with the I/O dispatch routines which
currently requires a (racey) signal based alarm system.
I know there have been concerns about performance. I think so far the ones that
have come up (virtio-net) are most likely due to secondary reasons like
decreased batching.
I think we ought to force enabling I/O thread early in 1.0 development and
commit to resolving any lingering issues.

We can express the VCPU thread wakeup with the stop mechanism, saving
both qemu_system_ready and the qemu_system_cond. For KVM threads, we can
just enter the main loop as long as the thread is stopped. The central
TCG thread is better held back before the loop as there can be side
effects of the services called even when all CPUs are stopped.
Creating VCPUs in stopped state will also be required for proper CPU
hotplugging support.

This resulted in random freezes under Darwin.

This fix effectively blocks, in the main thread, the signals handled

This way, such signals are received synchronously in the main thread
through sigfd_handler() instead of triggering the signal handler

The previous patch however is not enough, because if the virtual CPU
goes to sleep waiting for a future timer interrupt to wake it up, qemu
deadlocks. The timer interrupt never comes because time is driven by
icount, but the vCPU doesn't run any insns.
You could say that VCPUs should never go to sleep in icount
mode if there is a pending vm_clock timer; rather time should
just warp to the next vm_clock event with no sleep ever taking place.
Even better, you can sleep for some time related to the
time left until the next event, to avoid that the warps are too visible
externally; for example, you could be sending network packets continously
instead of every 100ms.
This is what this patch implements. qemu_clock_warp is called: 1)
whenever a vm_clock timer is adjusted, to ensure the warp_timer is
synchronized; 2) at strategic points in the CPU thread, to make sure
the insn counter is synchronized before the CPU starts running.
In any case, the warp_timer is disabled while the CPU is running,
because the insn counter will then be making progress on its own.

The correct fix for -icount is to consider the biggest difference
between iothread and non-iothread modes. In the traditional model,
CPUs run _before_ the iothread calls select (or WaitForMultipleObjects
for Win32). In the iothread model, CPUs run while the iothread
isn't holding the mutex, i.e. _during_ those same calls.
So, the iothread should always block as long as possible to let
the CPUs run smoothly---the timeout might as well be infinite---and
either the OS or the CPU thread itself will let the iothread know
when something happens. At this point, the iothread wakes up and
interrupts the CPU.
This is exactly the approach that this patch takes: when cpu_exec_all
returns in -icount mode, and it is because a vm_clock deadline has
been met, it wakes up the iothread to process the timers. This is
really the "bulk" of fixing icount.
