As a rule, CPU internal state should never be updated when
!cpu->kvm_vcpu_dirty (or the HAX equivalent). If that is done, then
subsequent calls to cpu_synchronize_state() - usually safe and idempotent -
will clobber state.
However, we routinely do this during a loadvm or incoming migration.
Usually this is called shortly after a reset, which will clear all the cpu
dirty flags with cpu_synchronize_all_post_reset(). Nothing is expected
to set the dirty flags again before the cpu state is loaded from the
incoming stream.
This means that it isn't safe to call cpu_synchronize_state() from a
post_load handler, which is non-obvious and potentially inconvenient.
We could cpu_synchronize_all_state() before the loadvm, but that would be
overkill since a) we expect the state to already be synchronized from the
reset and b) we expect to completely rewrite the state with a call to
cpu_synchronize_all_post_init() at the end of qemu_loadvm_state().
To clear this up, this patch introduces cpu_synchronize_pre_loadvm() and
associated helpers, which simply marks the cpu state as dirty without
actually changing anything. i.e. it says we want to discard any existing
KVM (or HAX) state and replace it with what we're going to load.

We can replace the four remaining calls of register_savevm() by
calls to register_savevm_live(). So we can remove the function and
as we don't allocate anymore the ops pointer with g_new0()
we don't have to free it then.

The commit message from 070afca25 suggests that dirty_rate_high_cnt
should be used more aggressively to start throttling after two
iterations instead of four. The code, however, only changes the auto
convergence behaviour to throttle after three iterations. This makes the
behaviour more aggressive by kicking off throttling after two iterations
as originally intended.

The bytes_xfer_now/prev counters are only used by the auto convergence
logic. However, they are used alongside the dirty_pages_rate counter,
which is calculated (and required) outside of this logic. The problem
with this approach is that if the auto convergence capability is changed
while a migration is ongoing, the relationship of the counters will be
broken.
This moves the management of bytes_xfer_now/prev counters outside of the
auto convergence logic to address this issue.

Currently, a "period" in the RAM migration logic is at least a second
long and accounts for what happened since the last period (or the
beginning of the migration). The dirty_pages_rate counter is calculated
at the end this logic.
If the auto convergence capability is enabled from the start of the
migration, it won't be able to use this counter the first time around.
This calculates dirty_pages_rate as soon as a period is deemed over,
which allows for it to be used immediately.

The first time migration_bitmap_sync() is called, bytes_xfer_prev is set
to ram_state.bytes_transferred which is, at this point, zero. The next
time migration_bitmap_sync() is called, an iteration has happened and
bytes_xfer_prev is set to 'x' bytes. Most likely, more than one second
has passed, so the auto converge logic will be triggered and
bytes_xfer_now will also be set to 'x' bytes.
This condition is currently masked by dirty_rate_high_cnt, which will
wait for a few iterations before throttling. It would otherwise always
assume zero bytes have been copied and therefore throttle the guest
(possibly) prematurely.
Given bytes_xfer_prev is only used by the auto convergence logic, it
makes sense to only set its value after a check has been made against
bytes_xfer_now.

We want to track why a guest was shutdown; in particular, being able
to tell the difference between a guest request (such as ACPI request)
and host request (such as SIGINT) will prove useful to libvirt.
Since all requests eventually end up changing shutdown_requested in
vl.c, the logical change is to make that value track the reason,
rather than its current 0/1 contents.
Since command-line options control whether a reset request is turned
into a shutdown request instead, the same treatment is given to
reset_requested.
This patch adds an internal enum ShutdownCause that describes reasons
that a shutdown can be requested, and changes qemu_system_reset() to
pass the reason through, although for now nothing is actually changed
with regards to what gets reported. The enum could be exported via
QAPI at a later date, if deemed necessary, but for now, there has not
been a request to expose that much detail to end clients.
For the most part, we turn 0 into SHUTDOWN_CAUSE_NONE, and 1 into
SHUTDOWN_CAUSE_HOST_ERROR; the only specific case where we have enough
information right now to use a different value is when we are reacting
to a host signal. It will take a further patch to edit all call-sites
that can trigger a reset or shutdown request to properly pass in any
other reasons; this patch includes TODOs to point such places out.
qemu_system_reset() trades its 'bool report' parameter for a
'ShutdownCause reason', with all non-zero values having the same
effect; this lets us get rid of the weird #defines for VMRESET_*
as synonyms for bools.
