The following series implements VM forking for Intel HVM guests to allow for
the fast creation of identical VMs without the assosciated high startup costs
of booting or restoring the VM from a savefile.

JIRA issue: https://xenproject.atlassian.net/browse/XEN-89

The fork operation is implemented as part of the "xl fork-vm" command:
    xl fork-vm -C <config> -Q <qemu-save-file> -m <max-vcpus> <parent_domid>
    
By default a fully functional fork is created. The user is in charge however to
create the appropriate config file for the fork and to generate the QEMU save
file before the fork-vm call is made. The config file needs to give the
fork a new name at minimum but other settings may also require changes. Certain
settings in the config file of both the parent and the fork have to be set to
default. Details are documented.

The interface also allows to split the forking into two steps:
    xl fork-vm --launch-dm no \
               -m <max-vcpus> \
               -p <parent_domid>
    xl fork-vm --launch-dm late \
               -C <config_file_for_fork> \
               -Q <qemu_save_file> \
               <fork_domid>

The split creation model is useful when the VM needs to be created as fast as
possible. The forked VM can be unpaused without the device model being launched
to be monitored and accessed via VMI. Note however that without its device
model running (depending on what is executing in the VM) it is bound to
misbehave or even crash when its trying to access devices that would be
emulated by QEMU. We anticipate that for certain use-cases this would be an
acceptable situation, in case for example when fuzzing is performed of code
segments that don't access such devices.

Launching the device model requires the QEMU Xen savefile to be generated
manually from the parent VM. This can be accomplished simply by connecting to
its QMP socket and issuing the "xen-save-devices-state" command. For example
using the standard tool socat these commands can be used to generate the file:
    socat - UNIX-CONNECT:/var/run/xen/qmp-libxl-<parent_domid>
    { "execute": "qmp_capabilities" }
    { "execute": "xen-save-devices-state", \
        "arguments": { "filename": "/path/to/save/qemu_state", \
                        "live": false} }

At runtime the forked VM starts running with an empty p2m which gets lazily
populated when the VM generates EPT faults, similar to how altp2m views are
populated. If the memory access is a read-only access, the p2m entry is
populated with a memory shared entry with its parent. For write memory accesses
or in case memory sharing wasn't possible (for example in case a reference is
held by a third party), a new page is allocated and the page contents are
copied over from the parent VM. Forks can be further forked if needed, thus
allowing for further memory savings.

A VM fork reset hypercall is also added that allows the fork to be reset to the
state it was just after a fork, also accessible via xl:
    xl fork-vm --fork-reset -p <fork_domid>

This is an optimization for cases where the forks are very short-lived and run
without a device model, so resetting saves some time compared to creating a
brand new fork provided the fork has not aquired a lot of memory. If the fork
has a lot of memory deduplicated it is likely going to be faster to create a
new fork from scratch and asynchronously destroying the old one.

The series has been tested with Windows VMs and functions as expected. Linux
VMs when forked from a running VM will have a frozen VNC screen. Linux VMs at
this time can only be forked with a working device model when the parent VM was
restored from a snapshot using "xl restore -p". This is a known limitation.
Also note that PVHVM/PVH Linux guests have not been tested. Forking most likely
works but PV devices and drivers would require additional wiring to set things
up properly since the guests are unaware of the forking taking place, unlike
the save/restore routine where the guest is made aware of the procedure.

Forking time has been measured to be 0.0007s, device model launch to be around
1s depending largely on the number of devices being emulated. Fork resets have
been measured to be 0.0001s under the optimal circumstances.

New in v13:
    style cleanups & minor adjustments
    Introduce and use PAGE_OFFSET macro

Patch 1 implements the VM fork
Patch 2 implements fork reset operation
Patch 3 adds the toolstack-side code implementing VM forking and reset

VM forking is the process of creating a domain with an empty memory space and a
parent domain specified from which to populate the memory when necessary. For
the new domain to be functional the VM state is copied over as part of the fork
operation (HVM params, hap allocation, etc).

Implement hypercall that allows a fork to shed all memory that got allocated
for it during its execution and re-load its vCPU context from the parent VM.
This allows the forked VM to reset into the same state the parent VM is in a
faster way then creating a new fork would be. Measurements show about a 2x
speedup during normal fuzzing operations. Performance may vary depending how
much memory got allocated for the forked VM. If it has been completely
deduplicated from the parent VM then creating a new fork would likely be more
performant.

Add necessary bits to implement "xl fork-vm" commands. The command allows the
user to specify how to launch the device model allowing for a late-launch model
in which the user can execute the fork without the device model and decide to
only later launch it.

+Create a fork of a running VM.  The domain will be paused after the operation
+and remains paused while forks of it exist.  Experimental and x86 only.
+Forks can only be made of domains with HAP enabled and on Intel hardware.  The
+parent domain must be created with the xl toolstack and its configuration must
+not manually define max_grant_frames, max_maptrack_frames or max_event_channels.

I just realized there's no need to copy the runstate area contents
here, since they will get copied anyway in schedule_tail before
resuming execution og cd_vcpu as long as runstate_guest is set.

Note that the vcpu_info needs to be copied since it contains event
channel info which is not unconditionally updated on context switch
IIRC.
