Recent (host) kernels support emulating the PAPR defined "XICS" interrupt
controller system within KVM. This patch allows qemu to initialize and
configure the in-kernel XICS, and keep its state in sync with qemu's XICS
state as necessary.
This should give considerable performance improvements. e.g. on a simple
IPI ping-pong test between hardware threads, using qemu XICS gives us
around 5,000 irqs/second, whereas the in-kernel XICS gives us around
70,000 irqs/s on the same hardware configuration.

Since current_cpu is CPUState it no longer depends on CPUPPCState.
Move ppce500_set_mpic_proxy() to a new hw/ppc/ppc_e500.h because
hw/ppc/ppc.h is too heavily using CPUPPCState and PowerPCCPU.

Enables support for the in-kernel MPIC that thas been merged into the
KVM next branch. This includes irqfd/KVM_IRQ_LINE support from Alex
Graf (along with some other improvements).
Note from Alex regarding kvm_irqchip_create():
On x86, one would call kvm_irqchip_create() to initialize an
in-kernel interrupt controller. That function then goes ahead and
initializes global capability variables as well as the default irq
routing table.
On ppc, we can't call kvm_irqchip_create() because we can have
different types of interrupt controllers. So we want to do all the
things that function would do for us in the in-kernel device init
handler.

Sun4c and Sun4d architectures and related CPUs are not fully implemented
(especially Sun4c MMU) and there has been no interest for them.
Likewise, a few CPUs (Cypress, Ross etc) are only half implemented.
Remove the machines and CPUs, they can be re-added if needed later.
