[Qemu-devel] [PATCHv4] qemu: enable PV EOI for qemu 1.3 |

Enable KVM PV EOI by default. You can still disable it with
-kvm_pv_eoi cpu flag. To avoid breaking cross-version migration,
enable only for qemu 1.3 (or in the future, newer) machine type.
Note:
There don't seem to be any security-related downsides to this patch
because all this does is tell guest about the feature in a convenient
way. A well behaved guest doesn't use a feature unless it's listed but
that's irrelevant for security.
In my testing, with this patch, performance always improved with
no regressions.

Changes from v3:
rebased on top of master. document security implications
Changes from v2:
Address comments by Andreas:
whitespace fixes and moving function around
Changes from v1:
Address comments by Eduardo:
use include instead of duplicate definition
reduce ifdef spagetti in code using features mask
rename init from _pv_eoi to _1_3 to enable adding
more stuff in this version
