The specification for the virtio balloon device requres that the values
in the config space be encoded little-endian. This differs from most
virtio things, where guest-native endian is the norm.
Currently, the qemu virtio-balloon code correctly makes the conversion
on get_config(), but doesn't on set_config for the 'actual' field. The
kernel driver, on the other hand, correctly converts when setting the
actual field, but does not convert when reading the config space. The
upshot is that virtio-balloon will only work correctly if both host and
guest are LE, making all the conversions nops.
This patch corrects the qemu side, correctly doing host-native <-> LE
conversions when accessing the config space. This won't break any setups
that aren't already broken, and fixes the case of BE host, LE guest.
Fixing the BE guest case will require kernel fixes as well.

The addition of memory stats reporting to the virtio balloon causes
the 'info balloon' command to become asynchronous. This is a regression
because in some cases it can hang the user monitor.
This is an alternative to Adam Litke's patch. Adam's patch disabled the
corresponding (guest-visible) virtio feature bit, causing issues for migration.

vl.c has a Sun-specific hack to supply a prototype for madvise(),
but the call site has apparently moved to arch_init.c.
Haiku doesn't implement madvise() in favor of posix_madvise().
OpenBSD and Solaris 10 don't implement posix_madvise() but madvise().
MinGW implements neither.
Check for madvise() and posix_madvise() in configure and supply qemu_madvise()
as wrapper. Prefer madvise() over posix_madvise() due to flag availability.
Convert all callers to use qemu_madvise() and QEMU_MADV_*.
Note that on Solaris the warning is fixed by moving the madvise() prototype,
not by qemu_madvise() itself. It helps with porting though, and it simplifies
most call sites.
v7 -> v8:
* Some versions of MinGW have no sys/mman.h header. Reported by Blue Swirl.
v6 -> v7:
* Adopt madvise() rather than posix_madvise() semantics for returning errors.
* Use EINVAL in place of ENOTSUP.
v5 -> v6:
* Replace two leftover instances of POSIX_MADV_NORMAL with QEMU_MADV_INVALID.
Spotted by Blue Swirl.
v4 -> v5:
* Introduce QEMU_MADV_INVALID, suggested by Alexander Graf.
Note that this relies on -1 not being a valid advice value.
v3 -> v4:
* Eliminate #ifdefs at qemu_advise() call sites. Requested by Blue Swirl.
This will currently break the check in kvm-all.c by calling madvise() with
a supported flag, which will not fail. Ideas/patches welcome.
v2 -> v3:
* Reuse the *_MADV_* defines for QEMU_MADV_*. Suggested by Alexander Graf.
* Add configure check for madvise(), too.
Add defines to Makefile, not QEMU_CFLAGS.
Convert all callers, untested. Suggested by Blue Swirl.
* Keep Solaris' madvise() prototype around. Pointed out by Alexander Graf.
* Display configure check results.
v1 -> v2:
* Don't rely on posix_madvise() availability, add qemu_madvise().

iov_to_buf() puts the buffer contents in the iov in a linearized buffer.
iov_size() gets the length of the contents in the iov.

Beginning with its introduction, the virtio balloon has had an overflow error
that causes 'info balloon' to misreport the actual memory size when the balloon
itself becomes larger than 4G. Use a cast when converting dev->actual from
pages to kB to prevent overflows.
Before:
(qemu) info balloon
balloon: actual=5120
(qemu) balloon 1025
(qemu) info balloon
balloon: actual=1025
(qemu) balloon 1024
(qemu) info balloon
balloon: actual=5120
After:
(qemu) info balloon
balloon: actual=5120
(qemu) balloon 1025
(qemu) info balloon
balloon: actual=1025
(qemu) balloon 1024
(qemu) info balloon
balloon: actual=1024

When working with the VM state (for loadvm/savevm and migration), it is not
valid to load and store pointers since the validity of those pointers cannot be
assured in the new qemu address space. Therefore, virtio_balloon_save() and
virtio_balloon_load() must not handle the stats-related fields in struct
VirtIOBalloon.
If a memory stats request is in-flight at the time of a migration or savevm,
the request will not complete and should be resubmitted once migration or
loadvm completes. Note that this extremely small race window can only be
triggered using QMP so it is not possible to hang the user monitor.

When using ballooning to manage overcommitted memory on a host, a system for
guests to communicate their memory usage to the host can provide information
that will minimize the impact of ballooning on the guests. The current method
employs a daemon running in each guest that communicates memory statistics to a
host daemon at a specified time interval. The host daemon aggregates this
information and inflates and/or deflates balloons according to the level of
host memory pressure. This approach is effective but overly complex since a
daemon must be installed inside each guest and coordinated to communicate with
the host. A simpler approach is to collect memory statistics in the virtio
balloon driver and communicate them directly to the hypervisor.

Add feature bits as properties to virtio. This makes it possible to e.g. define
machine without indirect buffer support, which is required for 0.10
compatibility, or without hardware checksum support, which is required for 0.11
compatibility. Since default values for optional features are now set by qdev,
get_features callback has been modified: it sets non-optional bits, and clears
bits not supported by host.

In the very least, a change like this requires discussion on the list.
The naming convention is goofy and it causes a massive merge problem. Something
like this _must_ be presented on the list first so people can provide input

A subsystem vendor ID of zero isn't allowed, so we use our
default ID.
Gerd points out that although the PCI subsystem vendor ID is
treated by the guest as the virtio vendor ID:
/* we use the subsystem vendor/device id as the virtio vendor/device
* id. this allows us to use the same PCI vendor/device id for all
* virtio devices and to identify the particular virtio driver by
* the subsytem ids */
vp_dev->vdev.id.vendor = pci_dev->subsystem_vendor;
vp_dev->vdev.id.device = pci_dev->subsystem_device;
it looks like only the device ID is used right now:
# grep virtio modules.alias
alias virtio:d00000001v* virtio_net
alias virtio:d00000002v* virtio_blk
alias virtio:d00000003v* virtio_console
alias virtio:d00000004v* virtio-rng
alias virtio:d00000005v* virtio_balloon
alias pci:v00001AF4d*sv*sd*bc*sc*i* virtio_pci
alias virtio:d00000009v* 9pnet_virtio
so setting the subsystem vendor id to something != zero shouldn't cause
trouble.

This adds a VirtIO based balloon driver. It uses madvise() to actually balloon
the memory when possible.
Until 2.6.27, KVM forced memory pinning so we must disable ballooning unless the
kernel actually supports it when using KVM. It's always safe when using TCG.
