This patch series introduces a new logging category to
qemu_log_mask(), for reporting situations which the device
model can cope with but which indicate bugs in the guest.
The most common cause of these is "guest tried to access
a register which doesn't exist". At the moment device models
use an inconsistent mix of "silently ignore", "hw_error(),
killing qemu" and "direct print to stderr" for reporting
this kind of event.

Patches 2-7 are a random selection of ARM devices which I've
switched to using the new LOG_GUEST_ERROR (or the existing
LOG_UNIMP where that is more appropriate). There are obviously
more conversions that could be made; this is just a sample
to demonstrate the utility of the log category.

One question that comes to mind -- should we include qemu-log.h
in qemu-common.h (or some other common header?) rather than
having to include qemu-log.h directly in lots of device model
source files?
