Convert all machines to use DEFINE_MACHINE() instead of QEMUMachine
automatically using a script.
Backports commit e264d29de28c5b0be3d063307ce9fb613b427cc3 from qemu
The macro will allow easy registration of a TYPE_MACHINE subclass, using
only the machine name and a MachineClass initialization function as
parameter.
Backports commit ed0b6de343448d1014b53bcf541041373322fa1c from qemu
The macro will be useful to ensure the machine class names follow the
right format to make machine class lookup by class name work correctly.
Backports commit c84a8f01b2a5d8bf98c447796d4a747333a5b1fd from qemu
This removes the following fields from QEMUMachine: family, alias,
reset, hot_add_cpu, units_per_default_bus, no_serial, no_parallel,
use_virtcon, use_sclp, no_floppy, no_cdrom, default_display,
compat_props, and hw_version.
The only users of those fields were already converted to use QOM and
MachineClass directly, so they are not needed anymore.

Define a new MachineClass field ignore_memory_transaction_failures.
If this is flag is true then the CPU will ignore memory transaction
failures which should cause the CPU to take an exception due to an
access to an unassigned physical address; the transaction will
instead return zero (for a read) or be ignored (for a write). This
should be set only by legacy board models which rely on the old
RAZ/WI behaviour for handling devices that QEMU does not yet model.
New board models should instead use "unimplemented-device" for all
memory ranges where the guest will attempt to probe for a device that
QEMU doesn't implement and a stub device is required.
We need this for ARM boards, where we're about to implement support for
generating external aborts on memory transaction failures. Too many
of our legacy board models rely on the RAZ/WI behaviour and we
would break currently working guests when their "probe for device"
code provoked an external abort rather than a RAZ.

Add a documentation comment for memory_region_allocate_system_memory().
In particular, the reason for this function's existence and the
requirement on board code to call it exactly once are non-obvious.
Backports commit 09ad643823dcda0a86eddce1291c28d0ccb09a3b 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.
