To prepare for allowing finer control over the messages that kvmtool
displays, replace printf() and fprintf() with the pr_* macros.

Minor changes were made to fix coding style issues that were pet peeves for
the author. And use pr_err() in kvm_cpu__init() instead of pr_warning() for
fatal errors.

Also, fix the message when printing the exit code for KVM_EXIT_UNKNOWN by
removing the '0x' part, because it's printing a decimal number, not a
hexadecimal one (the format specifier is %llu, not %llx).

Changelog:

- Use pr_err() to directly replace fprintf() in kernel_usage_with_options()
   instead of concatening the kernel locations.
- Removed the '0x' from the "KVM exit code: 0x%llu" message in kvm_cpu_thread()
   because the number is decimal (it's %llu, not %llx).
- Reverted the changes to kvm__emulate_mmio() and debug_io () because those
   messages are displayed with --debug-mmio, respectively --debug-ioport, and
   --loglevel hiding them would have been counter-intuitive.
- Replaced the "warning" string in kvm__emulate_mmio() with "MMIO warning", to
   match the message from kvm__emulate_io(). And to make it clear that it isn't
   toggled with --loglevel.
- Removed extra spaces in virtio_compat_add_message().

Does this really need to be a Warning ? A user could be running a non-
Linux guest and reporting the compatibility with WARNING level makes it
a bit tricky to suppress. i.e., User may want to suppress the "virtio"
compatibility messages, without actually loosing any other important
"Warnings". With the --loglevel=warning, we don't have that capability.

There are two options here as far as I can see:

1) Convert compatibility messages to "Info"
2) Control the compatibility messages via new option, (something like we
   did here, with --nocompat [0])
