Provide a function to add an allocated region of memory to the qemu RAM.
This patch is copied from Marcelo's qemu_ram_map() in qemu-kvm and given the
clearer name qemu_ram_alloc_from_ptr().

These will be used to generate unique id strings for ramblocks. The name
field is required, the device pointer is optional as most callers don't
have a device. When there's no device or the device isn't a child of
a bus implementing BusInfo.get_dev_path, the name should be unique for
the platform.

Greatly simplify the subpage implementation by not supporting
multiple devices at the same address at different widths. We
don't need full copies of mem_read/mem_write/opaque for each
address, only a single index back into the main io_mem_* arrays.

With more files from outside the hw/ directory being placed into
libhw, avoid the need to include hw/hw.h for the sake of targ_phys_addr_t.

A few words about design choices:
* On IA64, instructions should be grouped by bundle, and dependencies
between instructions declared. A first version of this code tried to
schedule instructions automatically, but was very complex and too
invasive for the current common TCG code (ops not ending at
instruction boundaries, code retranslation breaking already generated
code, etc.) It was also not very efficient, as dependencies between
TCG ops is not available.
Instead the option taken by the current implementation does not try
to fill the bundle by scheduling instructions, but by providing ops
not available as an ia64 instruction, and by offering 22-bit constant
loading for most of the instructions. With both options the bundle are
filled at approximately the same level.
* Up to 128 registers can be affected to a function on IA64, but TCG
limits this number to 64, which is actually more than enough. The
register affectation is the following:
- r0: used to map a constant argument with value 0
- r1: global pointer
- r2, r3: internal use
- r4 to r6: not used to avoid saving them
- r7: env structure
- r8 to r11: free for TCG (call clobbered)
- r12: stack pointer
- r13: thread pointer
- r14 to r31: free for TCG (call clobbered)
- r32: reserved (return address)
- r33: reserved (PFS)
- r33 to r63: free for TCG
* The IA64 architecture has only 64-bit registers and no 32-bit
instructions (the only exception being cmp4). Therefore 64-bit
registers and instructions are used for 32-bit ops. The adopted
strategy is the same as the ABI, that is the higher 32 bits are
undefined. Most ops (and, or, add, shl, etc.) can directly use
the 64-bit registers, while some others have to sign-extend (sar,
div, etc.) or zero-extend (shr, divu, etc.) the register first.

This adds notifiers for phys memory changes: a set of callbacks that
vhost can register and update kernel accordingly. Down the road, kvm
code can be switched to use these as well, instead of calling kvm code
directly from exec.c as is done now.

In the very least, a change like this requires discussion on the list.
The naming convention is goofy and it causes a massive merge problem. Something
like this _must_ be presented on the list first so people can provide input
and cope with it.
This reverts commit 99a0949b72.

kqemu introduces a number of restrictions on the i386 target. The worst is that
it prevents large memory from working in the default build.
Furthermore, kqemu is fundamentally flawed in a number of ways. It relies on
the TSC as a time source which will not be reliable on a multiple processor
system in userspace. Since most modern processors are multicore, this severely
limits the utility of kqemu.
kvm is a viable alternative for people looking to accelerate qemu and has the
benefit of being supported by the upstream Linux kernel. If someone can
implement work arounds to remove the restrictions introduced by kqemu, I'm
happy to avoid and/or revert this patch.
N.B. kqemu will still function in the 0.11 series but this patch removes it from
the 0.12 series.
Paul, please Ack or Nack this patch.

The parameter is always zero except when registering the three internal
io regions (ROM, unassigned, notdirty). Remove the parameter to reduce
the API's power, thus facilitating future change.

The only target dependency for most hardware is sizeof(target_phys_addr_t).
Build these files into a convenience library, and use that instead of
building for every target.
Remove and poison various target specific macros to avoid bogus target
dependencies creeping back in.
Big/Little endian is not handled because devices should not know or care
about this to start with.
