Currently only migration fails if CPU version is different even a bit.
For example, migration from POWER7 v2.0 to POWER7 v2.1 fails because of
that. Since there is no difference between CPU versions which could
affect migration stream, we can safely enable it.

This adds a helper to find the closest POWERPC family class (i.e. first
abstract class in hierarchy).

This replaces VMSTATE_UINTTL_EQUAL statement with a custom handler which
checks if the source and destination CPUs belong to the same family and
fails if they are not.

This adds a PVR reset to the default value as it will be overwritten
by VMSTATE_UINTTL_ARRAY(env.spr, PowerPCCPU, 1024).

Since the actual migration format is not changed by this patch,
@version_id of vmstate_ppc_cpu does not have to be changed either.

Ping?

Can't we just always allow migration to succeed? It's a problem of the tool stack above if it allows migration to an incompatible host, no?
