In ARMv8 architecture, GIC needs all the vcpus to be created and present when
it is initialized. This is because:
1. GICC and MPIDR association must be fixed at the VM initialization time.
This is represented by register GIC_TYPER(mp_afffinity, proc_num)
2. GICC(cpu interfaces), GICR(redistributors) etc all must be initialized
at the boot time as well.
3. Memory regions associated with GICR etc. cannot be changed(add/del/mod)
after VM has inited.
This patch adds the support to pre-create all such possible vcpus within the
host using the KVM interface as part of the virt machine initialization. These
vcpus could later be attached to QOM/ACPI while they are actually hot plugged
and made present.
NOTE: There is some refactoring related to the kvm_destroy_vcpu/kvm_get_vcpu
(to make use of the common code) has been intentionaly left out in RFC
version to avoid obscuring the framework change of the cpu hotplug. The
existing code being presented in this patch could further be optimized
later.
