This patch adds some functions for error reporting to address the
problem that error messages should be routed to different destinations
depending on the context of the caller, i.e. monitor command errors
should go to the monitor, command line errors to stderr.
qemu_error() is a printf-like function to report errors.
qemu_errors_to_file() and qemu_errors_to_mon() switch the destination
for the error message to the specified file or monitor. When setting a
new destination the old one will be kept. One can switch back using
qemu_errors_to_previous(). i.e. it works like a stack.
main() calls qemu_errors_to_file(stderr), so errors go to stderr by
default. monitor callbacks are wrapped into qemu_errors_to_mon() +
qemu_errors_to_previous(), so any errors triggered by monitor commands
will go to the monitor.
Each thread has its own error message destination. qemu-kvm probably
should add a qemu_errors_to_file(stderr) call to the i/o-thread
initialization code.

-watchdog NAME is now equivalent to -device NAME, except it treats
option argument '?' specially, and supports only one watchdog.
A side effect is that a device created with -watchdog may now receive
a different PCI address.
i6300esb is now available on any machine with a PCI bus, not just PCs.
ib700 is still PC only, but that could be changed easily.
The only remaining use of struct WatchdogTimerModel and
watchdog_add_model() is supporting '-watchdog ?'. Should be replaced
by searching device_info_list for watchdog devices when we can
identify them there.
Also fixes ib700 not to use vm_clock before it is initialized: in
wdt_ib700_init(), called from register_watchdogs(), which runs before
init_timers(). The bug made ib700_write_enable_reg() crash in
qemu_del_timer().

Now that do have a nicer interface to work against we can add Linux native
AIO support. It's an extremly thing layer just setting up an iocb for
the io_submit system call in the submission path, and registering an
eventfd with the qemu poll handler to do complete the iocbs directly
from there.
This started out based on Anthony's earlier AIO patch, but after
estimated 42,000 rewrites and just as many build system changes
there's not much left of it.
To enable native kernel aio use the aio=native sub-command on the
drive command line. I have also added an option to qemu-io to
test the aio support without needing a guest.

For injecting multi-core and multi-threading CPU topology into guests
extend the -smp syntax to accommodate cores and threads specification.
Syntax: -smp smp_value[,cores=nr_cores][,threads=nr_threads]\
[,socket=nr_sockets][,maxcpus=max_cpus]
smp_value is the legacy value specifying the total number of vCPUs for
the guest. If you specify one of cores, threads or sockets this value
can be omitted. Missing values will be computed to fulfill:
smp_value = nr_cores * nr_threads * nr_sockets
where it will favour sockets over cores over threads (to mimic the
current behavior, which will only inject multiple sockets.)
So -smp 4,threads=2 will inject two sockets with 2 threads each,
-smp cores=4 is an abbreviation for -smp 4,cores=4,threads=1,sockets=1.
If max_cpus (the number of hotpluggable CPUs) is omitted, it will
be set to smp_value.

kqemu introduces a number of restrictions on the i386 target. The worst is that
it prevents large memory from working in the default build.
Furthermore, kqemu is fundamentally flawed in a number of ways. It relies on
the TSC as a time source which will not be reliable on a multiple processor
system in userspace. Since most modern processors are multicore, this severely
limits the utility of kqemu.
kvm is a viable alternative for people looking to accelerate qemu and has the
benefit of being supported by the upstream Linux kernel. If someone can
implement work arounds to remove the restrictions introduced by kqemu, I'm
happy to avoid and/or revert this patch.
N.B. kqemu will still function in the 0.11 series but this patch removes it from
the 0.12 series.

Hi,
After discussing the issue with Avi, Gleb and a couple others on irq,
we came to the conclusion that it is preferred to have QEMU request
features from the BIOS, rather than notifying the BIOS that it is
running on QEMU or KVM. This way memory ranges can change etc. and
an older BIOS will continue to work on newer QEMU if it receives the
info as a fw_cfg value.
This one also matches what qemu-kvm does for irq0override, except I
haven't made it configurable. I leave that as an exercise for whoever
would be interested in switching off irq0override.
Thanks,
Jes
Set irq0 override in fw_cfg, informing the BIOS that QEMU expects
override on irq0. This matches qemu-kvm, and will help sharing a
single BIOS binary.

First user of the new drive property. With this patch applied host
and guest config can be specified separately, like this:
-drive if=none,id=disk1,file=/path/to/disk.img
-device virtio-blk-pci,drive=disk1
You can set any property for virtio-blk-pci now. You can set the pci
address via addr=. You can switch the device into 0.10 compat mode
using class=0x0180. As this is per device you can have one 0.10 and one
0.11 virtio block device in a single virtual machine.
Old syntax continues to work. Internally it does the same as the two
lines above though. One side effect this has is a different
initialization order, which might result in a different pci address
being assigned by default.
Long term plan here is to have this working for all block devices, i.e.
once all scsi is properly qdev-ified you will be able to do something
like this:
-drive if=none,id=sda,file=/path/to/disk.img
-device lsi,id=lsi,addr=<pciaddr>
-device scsi-disk,drive=sda,bus=lsi.0,lun=<n>

-S is not honored by qemu on incoming migration. If a domain is migrated
while paused, thus, it will start running on the remote machine; this
is wrong.
Given the trivial patch to fix this, it looks more like a thinko
than anything else, probably dating back to the qemu-kvm merge.
The interesting part is that the -S mechanism was in fact *used* when
migrating (setting autostart = 0) and the incoming migration code was
starting the VM at the end of the migration.
Since I was removing the vm_start from there, I also corrected a related
imprecision. The code was doing a vm_stop "just in case", but we can
be sure that the VM is not running---the vm_start call in vl.c has not
been reached yet. So the vm_stop is removed together with the vm_start.
