[RFC PATCH v1 00/17] target/riscv: Add KVM CoVE confidential VM support

This series adds RISC-V CoVE (Confidential VM Extension) support to the
virt machine when running with KVM acceleration.

CoVE is the RISC-V equivalent of AMD SEV / Intel TDX, defined by the
RISC-V AP-TEE specification [1].  A CoVE guest is a TEE VM (TVM) whose
memory and vCPU state are owned by the TEE Security Manager (TSM),
making them inaccessible to the host.

The series adds a "cove-vm" machine property to the virt board and adapts
the boot flow, interrupt routing, memory registration and device model to
the constraints of a confidential guest:

  - kernel, initrd and device tree are measured before the guest starts
  - interrupts are MSI-only (IMSIC mandatory, APLIC emulated by QEMU)
  - virtio uses modern PCI transport with VIRTIO_F_ACCESS_PLATFORM
  - vhost is disabled (host kernel has no access to guest memory)
  - vCPU threads are pinned (TSM binds vCPUs to harts)

The KVM interface used here (KVM_VM_TYPE_RISCV_COVE and
KVM_RISCV_COVE_MEASURE_REGION) is not yet part of an upstream Linux
release.  The definitions are kept locally and will be replaced by a
linux-headers update once the kernel side has been merged.

Patches 15 and 17 contain known workarounds and explicitly ask for design
guidance:

  - Patch 15 pins vCPU threads and adds a yield after KVM_RUN to avoid
    host RCU stalls.  Thread placement should be left to the user or
    management layer.

  - Patch 17 converts system_reset into a shutdown because a TVM cannot be
    recreated.  The proper approach may be to implement
    ConfidentialGuestSupport and use the existing can_rebuild_state()
    machinery.

Tested with QEMU TCG emulating a CoVE-capable Xuantie C930 platform.
