This adds the necessary pieces to implement savevm / migration for the
pseries machine. The most complex part here is migrating the hash
table - for the paravirtualized pseries machine the guest's hash page
table is not stored within guest memory, but externally and the guest
accesses it via hypercalls.
This patch uses a hypervisor reserved bit of the HPTE as a dirty bit
(tracking changes to the HPTE itself, not the page it references).
This is used to implement a live migration style incremental save and
restore of the hash table contents.
Normally a hash table is 16MB but it can get bigger depending on how
much RAM the guest has. Due to its nature, updates to it are random so
the live migration style is used for it.
In addition it adds VMStateDescription information to save and restore
the (few) remaining pieces of state information needed by the pseries
machine.

Model TCE tables as a device that's hooked up as a child object to
the owner. Besides the code cleanup, we get a few nice benefits:
1) free actually works now (it was dead code before)
2) the TCE information is visible in the device tree
3) we can expose table information as properties such that if we
change the window_size, we can use globals to keep migration
working.

RTAS is a hypervisor provided binary blob that a guest loads and
calls into to execute certain functions. It's similar to the
vsyscall page in Linux or the short lived VMCI paravirt interface
from VMware.
The QEMU implementation of the RTAS blob is simply a passthrough
that proxies all RTAS calls to the hypervisor via an hypercall.
While we pass a CPU argument for hypercall handling in QEMU, we
don't pass it for RTAS calls. Since some RTAs calls require
making hypercalls (normally RTAS is implemented as guest code) we
have nasty hacks to allow that.
Add a CPU argument to RTAS call handling so we can more easily
invoke hypercalls just as guest code would.

Fetch the root region from the sPAPRTCETable, and use it to build
an AddressSpace and DMAContext.
Now, everywhere we have a DMAContext we also have access to the
corresponding AddressSpace (either because we create it just before
the DMAContext, or because dma_context_memory's AddressSpace is
trivially address_space_memory).

Now we can stop using a "translating" DMAContext, but we do not yet modify
the sPAPRTCETable users to get an AddressSpace; they keep using the table
via a DMAContext.

The TCE table is currently returned as a DMAContext, and non-type-safe
APIs are called later passing back the DMAContext. Since we want to move
away from DMAContext, use an opaque type instead, and add an accessor
to retrieve the DMAContext from it.

Many of these should be cleaned up with proper qdev-/QOM-ification.
Right now there are many catch-all headers in include/hw/ARCH depending
on cpu.h, and this makes it necessary to compile these files per-target.
However, fixing this does not belong in these patches.
