RX buffer pools are now enabled by default for new machine types.
For older machine types, they are still disabled to avoid breaking
migration.

tl;dr:
This patch introduces an alternate way of handling the receive
buffers of the spapr-vlan device, resulting in much better
receive performance for the guest.
Full story:
One of our testers recently discovered that the performance of the
spapr-vlan device is very poor compared to other NICs, and that
a simple "ping -i 0.2 -s 65507 someip" in the guest can result
in more than 50% lost ping packets (especially with older guest
kernels < 3.17).
After doing some analysis, it was clear that there is a problem
with the way we handle the receive buffers in spapr_llan.c: The
ibmveth driver of the guest Linux kernel tries to add a lot of
buffers into several buffer pools (with 512, 2048 and 65536 byte
sizes by default, but it can be changed via the entries in the
/sys/devices/vio/1000/pool* directories of the guest). However,
the spapr-vlan device of QEMU only tries to squeeze all receive
buffer descriptors into one single page which has been supplied
by the guest during the H_REGISTER_LOGICAL_LAN call, without
taking care of different buffer sizes. This has two bad effects:
First, only a very limited number of buffer descriptors is accepted
at all. Second, we also hand 64k buffers to the guest even if
the 2k buffers would fit better - and this results in dropped packets
in the IP layer of the guest since too much skbuf memory is used.
Though it seems at a first glance like PAPR says that we should store
the receive buffer descriptors in the page that is supplied during
the H_REGISTER_LOGICAL_LAN call, chapter 16.4.1.2 in the LoPAPR spec
declares that "the contents of these descriptors are architecturally
opaque, none of these descriptors are manipulated by code above
the architected interfaces". That means we don't have to store
the RX buffer descriptors in this page, but can also manage the
receive buffers at the hypervisor level only. This is now what we
are doing here: Introducing proper RX buffer pools which are also
sorted by size of the buffers, so we can hand out a buffer with
the best fitting size when a packet has been received.
To avoid problems with migration from/to older version of QEMU,
the old behavior is also retained and enabled by default. The new
buffer management has to be enabled via a new "use-rx-buffer-pools"
property.
Now with the new buffer pool management enabled, the problem with
"ping -s 65507" is fixed for me, and the throughput of a simple
test with wget increases from creeping 3MB/s up to 20MB/s!

Refactor the code a little bit by extracting the code that reads
and writes the receive buffer list page into separate functions.
There should be no functional change in this patch, this is just
a preparation for the upcoming extensions that introduce receive
buffer pools.

The code for -machine pseries maintains a global sPAPREnvironment structure
which keeps track of general state information about the guest platform.
This predates the existence of the MachineState structure, but performs
basically the same function.
Now that we have the generic MachineState, fold sPAPREnvironment into
sPAPRMachineState, the pseries specific subclass of MachineState.
This is mostly a matter of search and replace, although a few places which
relied on the global spapr variable are changed to find the structure via
qdev_get_machine().

All NICs have a cleanup function that, in most cases, zeroes the pointer
to the NICState. In some cases, it frees data belonging to the NIC.
However, this function is never called except when exiting from QEMU.
It is not necessary to NULL pointers and free data here; the right place
to do that would be in the device's unrealize function, after calling
qemu_del_nic. Zeroing the NIC multiple times is also wrong for multiqueue
devices.
This cleanup function gets in the way of making the NetClientStates for
the NIC hold an object_ref reference to the object, so get rid of it.

The last 8 bytes of the buffer list is defined to contain the number
of dropped frames. At the moment we use it to store rx entries,
which trips up ethtool -S:
rx_no_buffer: 9223380832981355136
Fix this by skipping the last buffer list entry.

After previous Peter patch, they are redundant. This way we don't
assign them except when needed. Once there, there were lots of case
where the ".fields" indentation was wrong:
.fields = (VMStateField []) {
and
.fields = (VMStateField []) {
Change all the combinations to:
.fields = (VMStateField[]){
The biggest problem (appart from aesthetics) was that checkpatch complained
when we copy&pasted the code from one place to another.

When the guests adds buffers to receive queue, the network device
should flush its queue of pending packets. This is done with
qemu_flush_queued_packets.
This adds a call to qemu_flush_queued_packets() which wakes up the main
loop and let QEMU update the network device status which now is "can
receive". The patch basically does the same thing as e8b4c68 does.

Normally, the "tap" device is polled by QEMU if a guest NIC can
receive packets. If a guest NIC is stopped during transfer (rmmod or
ifdown), it may still have packets in a queue which have to be send
to the guest before QEMU enables polling of a "tap" interface via
tap_update_fd_handler().
However the spapr_llan device was missing the qemu_flush_queued_packets()
call so the tap_send_completed() callback was never called and therefore
"tap" interface polling was not enabled ever.
The patch fixes this problem.

Curerntly the pseries VIO device code contains quite a few explicit
uses of DO_UPCAST and plain C casts. This is (obviously) type unsafe,
and not the conventional way of doing things in the QOM model. This
patch converts the code to use the QOM convention of per-type macros
to do verified casts with OBJECT_CHECK().
