A system misconfiguration that prevents qemu from running at all (for
example, a missing dynamically linked library) will keep the console.log
file from the previous run.  This can fool the developer into thinking
that this failed run actually completed correctly.  This commit therefore
overwrites the console.log file just before launching qemu.

More recent qemu implementations really want "-enable-kvm", and the
"-soundhw pcspk" makes the script a bit less dependent on odd audio
libraries being installed.  This commit therefore adds both to the
default qemu command line.

The mpstat command recently added the %gnice column, which messes up
the cpu2use.sh script's idle-CPU calculations.  This commit therefore
uses $NF instead of $12 to select the last (%idle) column.

Normal rcutorture checking overestimates grace periods somewhat due to
the fact that there is a delay from a grace-period request until the
start of the corresponding grace period and another delay from the end
of that grace period to notification of the requestor.  This means that
rcutorture's detection of RCU bugs is less sensitive than it might be.

It turns out that rcutorture also checks the underlying grace-period
"completed" counter (displayed in Reader Batch output), which in theory
allows rcutorture to do exact checks.  In practice, memory misordering
(by both compiler and CPU) can result in false positives.  However,
experience on x86 shows that these false positives are quite rare,
occurring less than one time per 1,000 hours of testing.  This commit
therefore does the exact checking, giving a warning if any Reader Batch
blows happen, and flagging an error if they happen more often than
once every three hours in long tests.

The current rcutorture scripting checks for actual stalls (via the "Call
Trace:" check), but fails to spot the case where a stall ends just as it
is being detected.  This commit therefore adds a check for this case.

Now that we have removed configs based on kernel version, we can also remove the
kversion parameter in kvm.sh.
