The current savevm/loadvm protocol has some draw backs. It does not support
the ability to do progressive saving which means it cannot be used for live
checkpointing or migration. The sections sizes are 32-bit integers which
means that it will not function when using more than 4GB of memory for a guest.
It attempts to seek within the output file which means it cannot be streamed.
The current protocol also is pretty lax about how it supports forward
compatibility. If a saved section version is greater than what the restore
code support, the restore code generally treats the saved data as being in
whatever version it supports. This means that restoring a saved VM on an older
version of QEMU will likely result in silent guest failure.
This patch introduces a new version of the savevm protocol. It has the
following features:
* Support for progressive save of sections (for live checkpoint/migration)
* An asynchronous API for doing save
* Support for interleaving multiple progressive save sections
(for future support of memory hot-add/storage migration)
* Fully streaming format
* Strong section version checking

This patch adds a dirty tracking bit for live migration. We use 0x08 because

This patch adds a bdrv_flush_all() function. It's necessary to ensure that all
IO operations have been flushed to disk before completely a live migration.
N.B. we don't actually use this now. We really should flush the block drivers
using an live savevm callback to avoid unnecessary guest down time.

Live migration happens in the background, but it is useful to make the monitor
command appear as if it's blocking. This allows a management tool to
immediately know when the live migration has completed without having to poll
the migration status.
This patch allows the monitor to be suspended from a monitor callback which
will prevent new monitor commands from being executed.

pfl->wcycle was set to 1 when the erase confirm command was set, which
lead to the next command being misinterpreted by Qemu:
pflash_write: Unimplemented flash cmd sequence (offset 00000000,
wcycle 0x1 cmd 0x20 value 0x70)
This patch fixes this issue by resetting pfl->wcycle to 0 on erase
confirm so that the next command is considered as a new one.

Use rldimi instead of rldicr/or pair, saves us one instruction.

load_seg_vm calls cpu_x86_load_seg_cache which updates hflags of
current env, real hardware doesn't do this, nor the code that handles
real mode lret/lcall/ljmp.
This unbreaks "unreal mode" and makes QEMU the first emulator being
able to run Project Angel demo by IMPACT Studios. (Not that there are
many physical machines out there capable of doing the same)

There was a bogus case where two system debug ops get generated. This
patch removes the broken system debug op. This was a left over after
making some changes to correctly generate debug ops on branch
operations inside gen_goto_tb();
The test case against this patch is to turn on single stepping with
timers, boot a linux kernel, set a breakpoint a do_fork and in gdb
execute "si 3000". Then qemu-system-ppc will fault executing a debug
op, which should not have been executed.
