[PATCH v2 0/6] add post parse pSeries mem align, when ABI_UPDATE

Hi,

This is a follow up of [1] after really comprehending what I
was messing with and what I couldn't do. This version has a
shorter scope, only pSeries guests are being taken care of.
I can send a follow up to handle x86 as well depending on the
popularity of this work.

Patches 1 and 2 moves the existing qemuDomainAlignMemorySizes()
from qemu_command.c to qemuProcessPrepareDomain(). They are
not related/tied to everything else done here and can be pushed
independently if needed.

Patches 3, 4 and 5 are reworking the existing code to be consistent
to our prerrogative of not aligning memory when migrating or
'snapshotting'. No significant behavioral change is done.

Patch 6 is where the bacon is. For new ppc64 guests, without ABI
breakage, the mem alignment that are overshooting the intended
initial memory is fixed.

Test cases were added to help me diagnose and assert what I was
changing and what would remain untouched.
