In uq/master, it can be make static.  But in kvm/master, kvm_arch_init
is not compiled because of conditional compiling, so we will get warning
and error for unused symbol.  Should we consider kvm/master in this
patch?

We use a self-made test script to test.  Repository is at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/cpu/mce/mce-test.git

The kvm test script is in kvm sub-directory.

The qemu patch attached is need by the test script.

Subject: [PATCH -v3] Monitor command: x-gpa2hva, translate guest physical address to host virtual address

Add command x-gpa2hva to translate guest physical address to host
virtual address. Because gpa to hva translation is not consistent, so
this command is only used for debugging.

The x-gpa2hva command provides one step in a chain of translations from
guest virtual to guest physical to host virtual to host physical. Host
physical is then used to inject a machine check error. As a
consequence the HWPOISON code on the host and the MCE injection code
in qemu-kvm are exercised.

v3:

- Rename to x-gpa2hva
- Remove QMP support, because gpa2hva is not consistent

v2:

- Add QMP support
