Richard Purdie 37be8268f9 qemurunner: Try to ensure mmap'd libs are paged in
We've seeing issues where IO load appears to cause strange failures due to timeouts
within qemu. One theory for these is that it is is hitting hard page faults
at in-opportune moments which cause timing problems within the VM.

This patch is a bit of a hack which tries to ensure the data is paged in
at a point when we know we can take the time delays (waiting for the QMP
start signal). Whilst this isn't ideal, it does seem to improve things on
the autobuilder and shouldn't harm anything.

The code figures out which files to read my looking at the mmap'd files
the process has open from /proc. On Centos7 systems these files are not
user readable, if that is the case we just skip them.

QEMU Emulation Targets
======================

To simplify development, the build system supports building images to
work with the QEMU emulator in system emulation mode. Several architectures
are currently supported in 32 and 64 bit variants:

  * ARM (qemuarm + qemuarm64)
  * x86 (qemux86 + qemux86-64)
  * PowerPC (qemuppc only)
  * MIPS (qemumips + qemumips64)

Use of the QEMU images is covered in the Yocto Project Reference Manual.
The appropriate MACHINE variable value corresponding to the target is given
in brackets.
