Thales Elero Cervi c2f773a9d9 Re-order DPDK args parsing in STX Patch
When STX Patches were ported to the top of QEMU 7.2 version, the
auto-merging placed our custom cli args parsing in the wrong place at
softmmu/vl.c file. These extra cli arguments are related to DPDK
configurations and supposed to be passed to rte_eal_init() function,
called only when dpdk is enabled.
This wrong placing was actually causing an error for any instance that
we tried to launch, since in the new base version there is QEMU code
parsing the cli args BEFORE we properly handle and remove the DPDK extra
args.

This change re-orders the code position inside our patch, such that DPDK
arguments are properly parsed, sent to rte_eal_init() and removed from
argc and argv before proceeding with QEMU upstream logic.

TEST PLAN:
PASS - build-pkgs -c -p qemu
PASS - build-image
PASS - bootstrap a virtual AIO-SX
PASS - apply stx-openstack
PASS - 'openstack hypervisor list' shows a QEMU hypervisor UP
PASS - launch a simple VM (no volumes, single network), it is
       properly built and end up in Running state.

Get the RedHat source rpm from:
$ wget wget http://cbs.centos.org/kojifiles/packages/qemu-kvm-ev/2.3.0/31.el7_2.7.1/src/qemu-kvm-ev-2.3.0-31.el7_2.7.1.src.rpm 

Uncompress the source rpm:
$ rpm2cpio qemu-kvm-ev-2.3.0-31.el7_2.7.1.src.rpm | cpio -idmv

All the patches from the redhat source rpm have been applied in git/qemu using
scripts/autopatch.sh.

Some of these patches can't be applied cleanly with 'git am'.  So this script
attempd to execute 'git am' on each of them, if it fails it tries to patch
the files manually with 'git apply --index'.

A git tag 'qemu-kvm-ev-2.3.0-31.el7_2.7.1' has been added to the last patch
applied.

The Titanium Cloud specific patches will be added after this tag.
