This is v3 of the patchset.
Changes since v2:
    - Address Paolo's comments: drop an unused function, fix up
      comment.

Changes since v1:
    - Any RAM can now be resizeable - there's no requirement
      that it's device RAM any longer.
    - For simplicity, max_size RAM is always pre-allocated
    - Added memory_region_set_size, to keep MR size consistent
      in case MR is guest visible (even though for current users,
      it never is)

At the moment we migrate ROMs which reside in fw cfg, which allows
changing ROM code at will, and supports migrating largish blocks early,
with good performance.
However, we are running into a problem: changing size breaks
migration every time.
This already requires somewhat messy compatibility support in
acpi generation code, and it looks like there'll be more to come.

While recent patches by Paolo and others might make it easier
to keep table size static for specific machine types, having
a safety net in case we do need to change it sounds like
a good idea.

Rather than try to guess the correct size once and for all,
this patchset tries to make code future-proof, by
adding support for resizeable ram blocks.

A (possibly very high) amount of space in ram_addr_t space is reserved
and allocated in host for each block, but never used by fw cfg.
If incoming block size differs from current size, block is
reallocated. FW CFG is also notified and updated accordingly.

As reviewers felt that making all RAM "resizeable" in this
way might make debugging migration harder, these patches
set a per-block flag and only allow resizing for blocks
where this was explicitly requested.

Note: migration stream is unaffected by these patches.
This makes it possible to enable this functionality
unconditionally, for all machine types.

In the future, this API might be handy for other things, besides ROMs.

Add API to change MR size.
Will be used internally for RAM resize.

Make cpu_physical_memory_set/clear_dirty_range
behave symmetrically.

To clear range for a given client type only, add
cpu_physical_memory_clear_dirty_range_type.

This patch allows us to distinguish between two
length values for each block:
    max_length - length of memory block that was allocated
    used_length - length of block used by QEMU/guest

Currently, we set used_length - max_length, unconditionally.
Follow-up patches allow used_length <= max_length.

Add API to allocate "resizeable" RAM.
This looks just like regular RAM generally, but
has a special property that only a portion of it
(used_length) is actually used, and migrated.

This used_length size can change across reboots.

Follow up patches will change used_length for such blocks at migration,
making it easier to extend devices using such RAM (notably ACPI,
but in the future thinkably other ROMs) without breaking migration
compatibility or wasting ROM (guest) memory.

Device is notified on resize, so it can adjust if necessary.

qemu_ram_alloc_resizeable allocates this memory, qemu_ram_resize resizes
it.

Note: nothing prevents making all RAM resizeable in this way.
However, reviewers felt that only enabling this selectively will
make some class of errors easier to detect.

If block used_length does not match, try to resize it.

Add API to allocate resizeable RAM MR.

This looks just like regular RAM generally, but
has a special property that only a portion of it
(used_length) is actually used, and migrated.

This used_length size can change across reboots.

Follow up patches will change used_length for such blocks at migration,
making it easier to extend devices using such RAM (notably ACPI,
but in the future thinkably other ROMs) without breaking migration
compatibility or wasting ROM (guest) memory.

Device is notified on resize, so it can adjust if necessary.

Note: nothing prevents making all RAM resizeable in this way.
However, reviewers felt that only enabling this selectively will
make some class of errors easier to detect.

Use resizeable ram API so we can painlessly extend ROMs in the
future.  Note: migration is not affected, as we are
not actually changing the used length for RAM, which
is the part that's migrated.

Use this in acpi: reserve x16 more RAM space.

Document that when using qemu_ram_resize for anything mapped into guest
address space, it's the job of the resize function to update guest
visible state.

Ok for 2.3, just squash 4 and 8 together.  No need to repost.
