Modify s390_cpu_addr2state to allow fetching state information for cpu addresses
above smp_cpus.  Hotplug requires this capability.

Also add s390_cpu_set_state function to allow modification of ipi_state entries
during hotplug.

This is what got us into the link<> discussion last time. If we do

for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(ipi_states); i++) {
     name = g_strdup_printf("cpu[%i]", i);
     object_property_add_link(qdev_get_machine(), name, TYPE_S390_CPU,
                              &ipi_states[i], &err);
}

then we get said /machine/cpu[n] link<> properties, at a QMP level
either returning nothing or the canonical path to the CPU object.

On IRC I didn't get an answer of whether it was being done the above way
because there is infrastructure missing, and a look at object.h now
confirms that suspicion. CC'ing Anthony and Paolo.

Since object_property_add_link() uses a NULL opaque, my idea would be to
add a single setter hook argument passed through as opaque to
object_set_link_property(), which would call it with the old and the new
value.

The purpose would be to avoid growing our own internal setter API, which
is disjoint from the QMP qom-set we are targetting at.


Ok, you lost me :). I must admit my understanding of QOM is still limited. Sorry for not keeping up. Why do we need this new hook? The link would contain a pointer to the correct ipi_states entry right? What are we using opaque for?
