Fix guest OS hang when 64bit PCI bar present
This patch addresses the issue fully described here:
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2013-02/msg01804.html
Linux kernels prior to 2.6.36 do not disable the PCI device during
enumeration process. Since lower and higher parts of a 64bit BAR
are programmed separately this leads to qemu receiving a request to occupy
a completely wrong address region for a short period of time.
We have found that the boot process screws up completely if kvm-apic range
is overlapped even for a short period of time (it is fine for other
regions though).
This patch raises the priority of the kvm-apic memory region, so it is
never pushed out by PCI devices. The patch is quite safe as it does not
touch memory manager.
