Add the kvm_adjvtime vcpu property for ARM Cortex-A72 cpu model,
so that virtual time adjust will be enabled for it.

This patch drops the vtimer virtual timer adjust, cross version migration
from openEuler qemu-4.0.1 to qemu-4.1.0 is not supported as a consequence.
By default openEuler qemu-4.1.0 use kvm_adjvtime as the virtual timer.

Vtimer adjust is used in openEuler qemu-4.0.1, however kvm_adjvtime
is introduced in openEuler qemu-4.1.0. To maintain the compatibility
and enable cross version migration, let's enable vtimer adjust only
if kvm_adjvtime is not enabled, otherwise there may be conflicts
between vtimer adjust and kvm_adjvtime.
After this modification:
1: openEuler qemu-4.0.1 use vtimer as the default virtual timer
2: openEuler qemu-4.1.0 use kvm_adjvtime as the defaut virtual timer
Migration from openEuler qemu-4.0.1 to openEuler qemu-4.1.0 will
be ok, but migration path from upstream qemu-4.0.1 to openEuler
qemu-4..0.1 will be broken.
Since openEuler qemu-4.1.0, kvm_adjvtime is used as the default
virtual timer. So please upgrade to openEuler qemu-4.1.0 and
use the virt-4.1 machine.

Machine compatibility for kvm-no-adjvtime is missed,
let's add it for virt machine 4.0, thus kvm-no-adjvtime
is supported in v4.1.0.

To support cross version migration, we had to add the vtimer back
which was introduced in openEuler qemu-4.0.1.

This adds CPU cold plug support to arm virt machine board.
CPU cold plug means adding CPU by using "-device xx-arm-cpu"
when we bring up Qemu.

vtimer feature was added to qemu v4.0.1 to record timer tick when vcpu
is stopped. However this feature is discared and the new virtual time
adjustment is introduced.
This patch add the missing vtimer parameter to ARMCPUState in order
to compat cross version migration fromm v4.0.1 openEuler 2003 lts release.

This series is an attempt to provide CPU hotplug support on ARM
virt platform. This is based on ACPI GED device.
We should enable ACPI support, and use vGICv3 and 64bit CPU to
support CPU hotplug.
Under KVM accel, the KVM vCPUs is pre-created. Besides, vGIC IRIs
is pre-created too. However, QEMU vCPU objects are defer-created.

This series is an attempt to provide device memory hotplug support
on ARM virt platform. This is based on Eric's recent works here[1]
and carries some of the pc-dimm related patches dropped from his
series.
The kernel support for arm64 memory hot add was added recently by
Robin and hence the guest kernel should be => 5.0-rc1.
NVDIM support is not included currently as we still have an unresolved
issue while hot adding NVDIMM[2]. However NVDIMM cold plug patches
can be included, but not done for now, for keeping it simple.
This makes use of GED device to sent hotplug ACPI events to the
Guest. GED code is based on Nemu. Thanks to the efforts of Samuel and
Sebastien to add the hardware-reduced support to Nemu using GED
device[3]. (Please shout if I got the author/signed-off wrong for
those patches or missed any names).
This is sanity tested on a HiSilicon ARM64 platform and appreciate
any further testing.
Note:
Attempted adding dimm_pxm test case to bios-tables-test for arm/virt.
But noticed the issue decribed here[5]. This is under investigation
now.
