- Fix a bug in clientctl which tried to test for kvm. This simply
remove this faulty test as the kvm command has been deprecated by the
QEMU project for a couple of years now.
- Specify by default 256M of RAM as this is the minimal amount required
for the whole-OS live update test to succeed.
- Update the default command printed out at the end of the x86_hdimage
script to be more generic, less focused on one use-case.

The filtering also exposed the risk that a process be killed or
swapped while on the list of VM memory requests. These cases are
now handled properly as well.

- Update proc to select restart policy for VM
- Update testrelpol to test the supported modes of recovery for VM
- Small code cleanups in testrelpol as well.

A missing check to see whether the range being transferred is sane
(with a starting address lower than an ending address) caused extra
memory to be marked erroneously as copy-on-write for some processes,
ultimately resulting in pagefaults on the stack during live update
rollback.

If the stack is not mapped at the VM_DATATOP (e.g. booted with
ac_layout = 1), there might be some more regions hiding above
the stack. We also have to transfer those.

The 'memory' service has holes in its data section, which causes
problems during state transfer. Since VM cannot handle page faults
during a multicomponent-with-VM live update, the state transfer must
ensure that no page faults occur during copying. Therefore, we now
query VM about the regions to copy, thus skipping holes. While the
solution is not ideal, it is sufficiently generic that it can be used
for the data section state transfer of all processes, and possibly
for state transfer of other regions in the future as well.

Two bugs fixed wrt vm restartability.
. make sure pagetable data is only allocated
using dynamic data instead of static spare pages
(bootstrap pages). They are needed for bootstrap
but now repeat some of the initialization so only
dynamic data remains. This solves the problem of
physical addresses changing (as static pages are
re-allocated for the new instance) after update.
. pt_ptalloc has to be specified in bytes instead of
pde slot numbers. leaving pt_pt NULL causes mapping
transfers to fail because NULL happens to be mapped in
then and updates then happen there.
. added some sanity checks against the above happening.
The new state is that VM can update many times, but the system
isn't fully reliable afterwards yet.

Allow extra space for in-band metadata when allocating cache blocks.
Edited by David van Moolenbroek: since this effectively halves the
potential size of the typical file system cache, do this only when
compiling with instrumentation.

Edited by David van Moolenbroek to deallocate the guard page as well.
Note that while the new approach is better in theory (previously, the
hole could end up being filled by another allocated page), guard page
protection is now broken in practice, because VM does not support
setting specific page permissions (in this case, PROT_NONE).

If arguments are provided, the services list to test is set from those,
instead of initializing it with every currently running service.
If such arguments are present, also skip LiveUpdate tests.

VM used to call sendrec to send a boot-time RS_INIT reply to RS, but
RS could run into a pagefault at the same time, thus spawning a
message to VM, resulting in a deadlock. We resolve this situation by
making VM acknowledge RS_INIT asynchronously at boot time, while
retaining the synchronous sendrec for subsequent RS_INIT responses.

The following services have been updated to support stateful restarts:
- Drivers: tty
- Filesystems: isofs, mfs, pfs, libvtreefs-based file servers
- System servers: tty, ds, pm, vfs, vm

Previously, RS would clean up dead services only when it is idle.
During shutdown, all services are marked with the 'exiting' flag,
and these flags lead RS to conclude it is not idle. Therefore, at
shutdown time, no services were cleaned up anymore, leading to
deadlock situations. For example, VFS could end up waiting for a
service that was already dead, or one driver could end up waiting
for an interrupt on a line shared with another dead driver.
While it may be possible to ignore RS_EXITING when checking idle
status, other flags may have the same ultimate effect. Therefore,
this patch skips the idle check altogether when in shutdown mode.

While in a multicomponent live update that includes RS, the new RS
instance may receive heartbeat replies which, after a rollback, the
old RS instance will then never see. As a result, the rolled-back
RS instance may end up killing well-behaving services.
