x86 CPUs feature extended family/model bits in CPUID leaf

Those bits are necessary to model newer AMD CPUs:
-cpu qemu64,family=15,model=65,stepping=3 or
-cpu qemu64,family=16,model=4,stepping=2

This patch adds very basic KVM support. KVM is a kernel module for Linux that
allows userspace programs to make use of hardware virtualization support. It
current supports x86 hardware virtualization using Intel VT-x or AMD-V. It
also supports IA64 VT-i, PPC 440, and S390.
This patch only implements the bare minimum support to get a guest booting. It
has very little impact the rest of QEMU and attempts to integrate nicely with
the rest of QEMU.
Even though this implementation is basic, it is significantly faster than TCG.
Booting and shutting down a Linux guest:
w/TCG: 1:32.36 elapsed 84% CPU
w/KVM: 0:31.14 elapsed 59% CPU
Right now, KVM is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled with
-enable-kvm. We can enable it by default later when we have had better
testing.

KVM needs to call CPUID from outside of the TCG code. This patch
splits out the CPUID logic into a separate helper that both the op
helper and KVM can call.

This patch adds a CPU definition for the Core Duo CPU. I tried to
resemble the original as closely as possible and document what features
are missing still. This patch enables the use of a recent CPU definition
on 32 bit platforms.
It also fixes two issues that went along the line:
- invalid xlevel in core2duo spec
While looking though the CPUIDs again, I found that xlevel is actually 8.
- non-PSE36 support
The CoreDuo CPUID does not expose the PSE36 capability, but CPUID
0x80000008 is tied to 36 bits. This broke Windows XP installation for
me, so I just set it to 32 bits width when PSE36 is not available. The
original CPU also exposes 32 bit width in CPUID 0x80000008.

the CPUID specification. This patch addresses this by specifying exactly
what is missing.
While going along the missing CPUID entries I also stumbled across
invalid and missing CPUID #defines while comparing them to the Intel
Documentation. This patch also addresses these. I found them too minor
to split them up in a separate patch.
Furthermore I looked through CPUID functions > 5 and realized that it
should be safe to bump the level to 10. I tried booting Linux with that
and it worked fine.

As noticed by Alexander Graf Atom is a name of a series with varying
features.

This patch adds a Core 2 Duo CPU to the available CPU types. The CPU
definition tries to resemble a real CPU as good as possible, whilst not
exposing features qemu does not implement.
The patch also includes some minor additions that Core 2 Duo CPUs have:
- New MSR: MSR_IA32_PERF_STATUS
- CPUID up to level 5 (cache info and mwait)

Right now CPU vendor identification contains a lot of magic numbers. The
patch cleans them up to defines, so we can identify the CPU later on
without copying magic numbers.

It helps debugging guests when yet unmapped pages are correctly reported
as, well, unmapped.
