[PATCH 01/14] hw/i386/vmport: Propagate IOPort read to vCPU EAX register

[Liran Alon <liran.alon@oracle.com>]

vmport_ioport_read() returns the value that should propagate to vCPU EAX
register when guest reads VMPort IOPort (i.e. By x86 IN instruction).

However, because vmport_ioport_read() calls cpu_synchronize_state(), the
returned value gets overridden by the value in QEMU vCPU EAX register.
i.e. cpu->env.regs[R_EAX].

To fix this issue, change vmport_ioport_read() to explicitly override
cpu->env.regs[R_EAX] with the value it wish to propagate to vCPU EAX
register.
