The guest's grant table is even primed to export that page using a known grant ref#. Add support for all that in emulated mode, so that we can have a primary console. For reasons unclear, the backends running under real Xen don't just use a mapping of the well-known GNTTAB_RESERVED_CONSOLE grant ref (which would also be in the ring-ref node in XenStore). Instead, the toolstack sets the ring-ref node of the primary console to the GFN of the guest page. The backend is expected to handle that special case and map it with foreignmem operations instead. We don't have an implementation of foreignmem ops for emulated Xen mode, so just make it map GNTTAB_RESERVED_CONSOLE instead. This would probably work for real Xen too, but we can't work out how to make real Xen create a primary console of type "ioemu" to make QEMU drive it, so we can't test that; might as well leave it as it is for now under Xen. Now at last we can boot the Xen PV shim and run PV kernels in QEMU.
