f4c39db736 conf: qemu: add support for Hyper-V PV TLB flush
Qemu-3.0 supports Hyper-V-style PV TLB flush, Windows guests can benefit
from this feature as KVM knows which vCPUs are not currently scheduled (and
thus don't require any immediate action).

8253bca961 conf: qemu: add support for Hyper-V frequency MSRs
Qemu-2.12 gained 'hv-frequencies' cpu flag to enable Hyper-V frequency
MSRs. These MSRs are required (but not sufficient) to make Hyper-V on
KVM pass stable TSC page clocksource to L2 guests.

2e02f2b2df tests: Drop qemuxml2argv- prefix for qemuxml2argv-*.xml test cases
These XMLs live in a separate directory, there's no need for them
to have a special prefix in addition. It also doesn't play nicely
with ':e' completion in Vim, finding proper file based on
qemuxml2argvtest.c is also needlessly complicated.

The files were renamed using the following commands. From
qemuxml2argvdata:

  for i in qemuxml2argv-*.xml; do mv $i ${i#qemuxml2argv-}; done

and then (to fix broken symlinks) from qemuxml2argvdata and
qemuxml2xmloutdata:

  for i in $(find . -xtype l); do \
      ln -sf $(readlink $i | sed 's/qemuxml2argv-//') $i;
  done
