We introduce a cpu local storage, automatically managed (and extended)
by QEMU itself. Plugin allocate a scoreboard, and don't have to deal
with how many cpus are launched.

This API will be used by new inline functions but callbacks can benefit
from this as well. This way, they can operate without a global lock for
simple operations.

At any point during execution, any scoreboard will be dimensioned with
at least qemu_plugin_num_vcpus entries.

New functions:
- qemu_plugin_scoreboard_find
- qemu_plugin_scoreboard_free
- qemu_plugin_scoreboard_new

In more, we define a qemu_plugin_u64, which is a simple struct holding
a pointer to a scoreboard, and a given offset.
This allows to have a scoreboard containing structs, without having to
bring offset for all operations on a specific field.

Since most of the plugins are simply collecting a sum of per-cpu values,
qemu_plugin_u64 directly support this operation as well.

New functions:
- qemu_plugin_u64_add
- qemu_plugin_u64_get
- qemu_plugin_u64_set
- qemu_plugin_u64_sum
New macros:
- qemu_plugin_scoreboard_u64
- qemu_plugin_scoreboard_u64_in_struct

I think the u64 stuff should be a second patch built upon the basic scoreboard support.

Unnecessary?  Generates an extra pointer dereference for no apparent benefit. 
Alternately, might be useful for other data structure changes...

Embed the struct instead?

Why a hash table?  All you want is to be able to iterate through all, and add/remove 
easily.  Seems like QLIST from <qemu/queue.h> would be better, and the QLIST_ENTRY member 
would make struct qemu_plugin_scoreboard useful.

You're right, should be easier to review.

Thought to change it to a typedef after removing other members. Will do 
if you noticed this too.

Several qemu_plugin_u64 can point to the same scoreboard, so it has to 
be a pointer. It saves a scoreboard pointer + offset for a given entry.

Thought that having O(1) removal was a nice property, compared to a 
linked list. I can switch to a QLIST if you still think it's better.

What do you mean by "make struct qemu_plugin_scoreboard useful"?

QLIST is double-linked, so it's still O(1).

As opposed to simply a typedef of GArray.

Is it an "intrusive" linked list (where next and prev are part of the 
struct entry itself)?

Sounds good then, I'll switch to QLIST.
