A page state change is typically followed by an access of the page(s) and
results in another VMEXIT in order to map the page into the nested page
table. Depending on the size of page state change request, this can
generate a number of additional VMEXITs. For example, under SNP, when
Linux is utilizing lazy memory acceptance, memory is typically accepted in
4M chunks. A page state change request is submitted to mark the pages as
private, followed by validation of the memory. Since the guest_memfd
currently only supports 4K pages, each page validation will result in
VMEXIT to map the page, resulting in 1024 additional exits.
When performing a page state change, invoke KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY for the
size of the page state change in order to pre-map the pages and avoid the
additional VMEXITs. This helps speed up boot times.

Introduce kvm_arch_pre_create_vcpu(), to perform arch-dependent
work prior to create any vcpu. This is for i386 TDX because it needs
call TDX_INIT_VM before creating any vcpu.
The specific implementation for i386 will be added in the future patch.

This define is used only in accel/kvm/kvm-all.c, so we push directly the
definition there. Add more visibility to kvm_arch_on_sigbus_vcpu() to
allow removing this define from any header.
The architectures defining KVM_HAVE_MCE_INJECTION are i386, x86_64 and
aarch64.

Headers in include/sysemu/ are not only related to system
*emulation*, they are also used by virtualization. Rename
as system/ which is clearer.
Files renamed manually then mechanical change using sed tool.
