There's a common pattern in QEMU where a function needs to perform
a data load or store of an N byte integer in a particular endianness.
At the moment this is handled by doing a switch() on the size and
calling the appropriate ld*_p or st*_p function for each size.
Provide a new family of functions ldn_*_p() and stn_*_p() which
take the size as an argument and do the switch() themselves.

This function needs to be converted to QOM hook and virtualised for
multi-arch. This rename interferes, as cpu-qom will not have access
to the renaming causing name divergence. This rename doesn't really do
anything anyway so just delete it.

Device models often have to perform multiple access to a single
memory region that is known in advance, but would to use "DMA-style"
functions instead of address_space_map/unmap. This can happen
for example when the data has to undergo endianness conversion.
Introduce a new data structure to cache the result of
address_space_translate without forcing usage of a host address
like address_space_map does.

When we cannot emulate an atomic operation within a parallel
context, this exception allows us to stop the world and try
again in a serial context.

Support target CPUs having a page size which isn't knownn
at compile time. To use this, the CPU implementation should:
* define TARGET_PAGE_BITS_VARY
* not define TARGET_PAGE_BITS
* define TARGET_PAGE_BITS_MIN to the smallest value it
might possibly want for TARGET_PAGE_BITS
* call set_preferred_target_page_bits() in its realize
function to indicate the actual preferred target page
size for the CPU (and report any error from it)
In CONFIG_USER_ONLY, the CPU implementation should continue
to define TARGET_PAGE_BITS appropriately for the guest
OS page size.
Machines which want to take advantage of having the page
size something larger than TARGET_PAGE_BITS_MIN must
set the MachineClass minimum_page_bits field to a value
which they guarantee will be no greater than the preferred
page size for any CPU they create.
Note that changing the target page size by setting
minimum_page_bits is a migration compatibility break
for that machine.
For debugging purposes, attempts to use TARGET_PAGE_SIZE
before it has been finally confirmed will assert.

Some architectures (e.g. ARMv8) need the address which is aligned
to a size more than the size of the memory access.
To support such check it's enough the current costless alignment
check implementation in QEMU, but we need to support
an alignment size specifying.

The WORDS_ALIGNED #define is not used anywhere, and hasn't been since
2013 when commit 612d590ebc6cef rewrote the various ld<type>_<endian>_p
functions to not use it. Remove the #define and the comment describing it.
Also remove the line in the comment about TARGET_WORDS_ALIGNED, since
it has never actually existed.

Disentangle cpu-common.h and memory.h from NEED_CPU_H. Prototypes are
not defined for !NEED_CPU_H, so remove them from poison.h too. Only
macros need poisoning.
Backports commit a7d6039cb35592683ecc56d2b37817da2d2f8b00 from qemu
Currently the "host" page size alignment API is really aligning to both
host and target page sizes. There is the qemu_real_page_size which can
be used for the actual host page size but it's missing a mask and ALIGN
macro as provided for qemu_page_size. Complete the API. This allows
system level code that cares about the host page size to use a
consistent alignment interface without having to un-needingly align to
the target page size. This also reduces system level code dependency
on the cpu specific TARGET_PAGE_SIZE.

These exception indicies are generic and don't have any reliance on the
per-arch cpu.h defs. Move them to cpu-all.h so they can be used by core
code that does not have access to cpu-defs.h.
