Introduce a new option to dirty_log_perf_test: -x number_of_slots. This
causes the test to attempt to split the region of memory into the given
number of slots. If the region cannot be evenly divided, the test will
fail.
This allows testing with more than one slot and therefore measure how
performance scales with the number of memslots.

Add a parameter to control the backing memory type for
dirty_log_perf_test so that the test can be run with hugepages.

Add an option to overlap the ranges of memory each vCPU accesses instead
of partitioning them. This option will increase the probability of
multiple vCPUs faulting on the same page at the same time, and causing
interesting races, if there are bugs in the page fault handler or
elsewhere in the kernel.

It's not conventional C to put non-inline functions in header
files. Create a source file for the functions instead. Also
reduce the amount of globals and rename the functions to
something less generic.

Almost all tests do this anyway and the ones that don't don't
appear to care. Only vmx_set_nested_state_test assumes that
a feature (VMX) is disabled until later setting the supported
CPUIDs. It's better to disable that explicitly anyway.

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.

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.

Skylake machine:

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.
