Add helpers to gather cache info from the host at init-time.
For now, only export the host's I/D cache line sizes, which we
will use to improve cache locality to avoid false sharing.

We know there will be cases where MTTCG won't work until additional work
is done in the front/back ends to support. It will however be useful to
be able to turn it on.
As a result MTTCG will default to off unless the combination is
supported. However the user can turn it on for the sake of testing.
Backports commit 8d4e9146b3568022ea5730d92841345d41275d66 from qemu
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.
Backports commit 20bccb82ff3ea09bcb7c4ee226d3160cab15f7da from qemu
Move declarations out of qemu-common.h for functions declared in
utils/ files: e.g. include/qemu/path.h for utils/path.c.
Move inline functions out of qemu-common.h and into new files (e.g.
include/qemu/bcd.h)

Except for removing periods and exclamation points, no other changes
were made to the error messages (yet).
Backports relevant parts of commit 8afb900030b93122a40ef4a636d02ba888bdce12 from qemu
Straightforward replacement, except for qemu_kill_report(), which
printed a common part of its error message first, then the applicable
special part. Print each complete message with a single
error_report() instead.
Multi-line messages were replaced by error_report() followed by
error_printf().
The following changes were made to the error messages:
* The "invalid date format" message was reworded to better fit
the new error_report()+error_printf() pattern.
* On the remaining messages, only the trailing newlines, "qemu:" and
"error:" message prefixes were removed.
Backports relevant parts of commit f61eddcb2bb5cbbdd1d911b7e937db9affc29028 from qemu
Introduce a new crypto/ directory that will (eventually) contain
all the cryptographic related code. This initially defines a
wrapper for initializing gnutls and for computing hashes with
gnutls. The former ensures that gnutls is guaranteed to be
initialized exactly once in QEMU regardless of CLI args. The
block quorum code currently fails to initialize gnutls so it
only works by luck, if VNC server TLS is not requested. The
hash APIs avoids the need to litter the rest of the code with
preprocessor checks and simplifies callers by allocating the
correct amount of memory for the requested hash.
Backports commit ddbb0d09661f5fce21b335ba9aea8202d189b98e from qemu
ARM and probably the rest of the arches have significant memory leaks as
they have no release interface.
Additionally, DrMemory does not have 64-bit support and thus I can't
test the 64-bit version under Windows. Under Linux valgrind supports
both 32-bit and 64-bit but there are different macros and code for Linux
and Windows.
