[PATCH RFC V2 06/37] arm/virt, kvm: Pre-create disabled possible vCPUs @machine init

[Salil Mehta via <qemu-devel@nongnu.org>]

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.
