Define an API so that devices can register MemoryRegionOps whose read
and write callback functions are passed an arbitrary pointer to some
transaction attributes and can return a success-or-failure status code.
This will allow us to model devices which:
* behave differently for ARM Secure/NonSecure memory accesses
* behave differently for privileged/unprivileged accesses
* may return a transaction failure (causing a guest exception)
for erroneous accesses
This patch defines the new API and plumbs the attributes parameter through
to the memory.c public level functions io_mem_read() and io_mem_write(),
where it is currently dummied out.
The success/failure response indication is also propagated out to
io_mem_read() and io_mem_write(), which retain the old-style
boolean true-for-error return.

After the previous patch, TLBs will be flushed on every change to
the memory mapping. This patch augments that with synchronization
of the MemoryRegionSections referred to in the iotlb array.
With this change, it is guaranteed that iotlb_to_region will access
the correct memory map, even once the TLB will be accessed outside
the BQL.

This for now is a simple TLB flush. This can change later for two
reasons:
1) an AddressSpaceDispatch will be cached in the CPUState object
2) it will not be possible to do tlb_flush once the TCG-generated code
runs outside the BQL.
Backports commit 76e5c76f2e2e0d20bab2cd5c7a87452f711654fb from qemu
Support guest CPUs which need 7 MMU index values.
Add a comment about what would be required to raise the limit
further (trivial for 8, TCG backend rework for 9 or more).
Backports commit 8f3ae2ae2d02727f6d56610c09d7535e43650dd4 from qemu
This is improved type checking for the translators -- it's no longer
possible to accidentally swap arguments to the branch functions.
Note that the code generating backends still manipulate labels as int.
With notable exceptions, the scope of the change is just a few lines
for each target, so it's not worth building extra machinery to do this
change in per-target increments.
