As userfaultfd syscall is available on powerpc, migration
postcopy can be used.

This patch adds the support needed to test this on powerpc,
instead of using a bootsector to run code to modify memory,
we use a FORTH script in "boot-command" property.

As spapr machine doesn't support "-prom-env" argument
(the nvram is initialized by SLOF and not by QEMU),
"boot-command" is provided to SLOF via a file mapped nvram
(with "-drive file=...,if=pflash")

v2: move FORTH script directly in sprintf()
    use openbios_firmware_abi.h
    remove useless "default" case

Very nice; took me a while do decode but yes I think that's doing
the same as my x86.

There's a mostly cosmetic problem with this.  If you run make check
for a ppc64 target on an x86 machine, you get:

GTESTER check-qtest-ppc64
"kvm" accelerator not found.
"kvm" accelerator not found.

I think this is because of "-machine accel=kvm:tcg", it tries to use kvm
and fall back to tcg.

accel.c:

     80 void configure_accelerator(MachineState *ms)
     81 {
...
    100         acc = accel_find(buf);
    101         if (!acc) {
    102             fprintf(stderr, "\"%s\" accelerator not found.\n", buf);
    103             continue;
    104         }

We can remove the "-machine" argument to use the default instead (tcg or
kvm).

That sounds like a good option for a general test.

In fact, we can't: we need to add a "-machine accel=XXXX" to our command
line to override the "-machine accel=qtest" provided by the qtest
framework. If we don't override it, the machine doesn't start.

Would it work if you'd added some magic with "#ifdef CONFIG_KVM" here?

I think it needs to be dynamic as the same binary test is used on x86 to
test x86 and ppc64, and vice-versa. I'm going to check if we have
something like "qtest_get_accel()"...

So, the warning message is a bit unfortunate, but the following
discussion seems to show that removing it isn't trivial.  If we can do
so in a follow up patch, that would be nice, but for the time being,
I've merged this patch to ppc-for-2.7 anyway.
