Using error_is_set(ERRP) to find out whether a function failed is
either wrong, fragile, or unnecessarily opaque. It's wrong when ERRP
may be null, because errors go undetected when it is. It's fragile
when proving ERRP non-null involves a non-local argument. Else, it's
unnecessarily opaque (see commit 84d18f0).
I guess the error_is_set(errp) in the DeviceClass realize() methods
are merely fragile right now, because I can't find a call chain that
passes a null errp argument.
Make the code more robust and more obviously correct: receive the
error in a local variable, then propagate it through the parameter.

Codespell found and fixed these new typos:
* doesnt -> doesn't
* funtion -> function
* perfomance -> performance
* remaing -> remaining
A coding style issue (line too long) was fixed manually.

Save and restore the ARM KVM VGIC state from the kernel. We rely on
QEMU to marshal the GICState data structure and therefore simply
synchronize the kernel state with the QEMU emulated state in both
directions.
We take some care on the restore path to check the VGIC has been
configured with enough IRQs and CPU interfaces that we can properly
restore the state, and for separate set/clear registers we first fully
clear the registers and then set the required bits.

Support creating the ARM vgic device through the device control API and
setting the base address for the distributor and cpu interfaces in KVM
VMs using this API.
Because the older KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP interface needs the irq chip to be
created prior to creating the VCPUs, we first test if we can use the
device control API in kvm_arch_irqchip_create (using the test flag from
the device control API). If we cannot, it means we have to fall back to
KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP and use the older ioctl at this point in time. If
however, we can use the device control API, we don't do anything and
wait until the arm_gic_kvm driver initializes and let that use the
device control API.

device_add plugs devices into suitable bus. For "real" buses, that
actually connects the device. For sysbus, the connections need to be
made separately, and device_add can't do that. The device would be
left unconnected, and could not possibly work.
Quite a few, but not all sysbus devices already set
cannot_instantiate_with_device_add_yet in their class init function.
Set it in their abstract base's class init function
sysbus_device_class_init(), and remove the now redundant assignments
from device class init functions.

In an ideal world, machines can be built by wiring devices together
with configuration, not code. Unfortunately, that's not the world we
live in right now. We still have quite a few devices that need to be
wired up by code. If you try to device_add such a device, it'll fail
in sometimes mysterious ways. If you're lucky, you get an
unmysterious immediate crash.
To protect users from such badness, DeviceClass member no_user used to
make device models unavailable with -device / device_add, but that
regressed in commit 18b6dad. The device model is still omitted from
help, but is available anyway.
Attempts to fix the regression have been rejected with the argument
that the purpose of no_user isn't clear, and it's prone to misuse.
This commit clarifies no_user's purpose. Anthony suggested to rename
it cannot_instantiate_with_device_add_yet_due_to_internal_bugs, which
I shorten somewhat to keep checkpatch happy. While there, make it
bool.
Every use of cannot_instantiate_with_device_add_yet gets a FIXME
comment asking for rationale. The next few commits will clean them
all up, either by providing a rationale, or by getting rid of the use.
With that done, the regression fix is hopefully acceptable.
