The dirty log perf test will time verious dirty logging operations
(enabling dirty logging, dirtying memory, getting the dirty log,
clearing the dirty log, and disabling dirty logging) in order to
quantify dirty logging performance. This test can be used to inform
future performance improvements to KVM's dirty logging infrastructure.
This series was tested by running the following invocations on an Intel
Skylake machine:
dirty_log_perf_test -b 20m -i 100 -v 64
dirty_log_perf_test -b 20g -i 5 -v 4
dirty_log_perf_test -b 4g -i 5 -v 32
demand_paging_test -b 20m -v 64
demand_paging_test -b 20g -v 4
demand_paging_test -b 4g -v 32
All behaved as expected.

We also check the input number of vcpus against the maximum supported.

Rename vcpu_memory_bytes to something with "percpu" in it
in order to be less ambiguous. Also make it global to
simplify things.

Wrfract will be used by the dirty logging perf test introduced later in
this series to dirty memory sparsely.

Skylake machine:

demand_paging_test -b 20g -v 4
demand_paging_test -b 4g -v 32
All behaved as expected.

Rounding the address the guest writes to a host page boundary
will only have an effect if the host page size is larger than the guest
page size, but in that case the guest write would still go to the same
host page. There's no reason to round the address down, so remove the
rounding to simplify the demand paging test.

Much of the code in demand_paging_test can be reused by other, similar
multi-vCPU-memory-touching-perfromance-tests. Factor that common code
out for reuse.
No functional change expected.
