59f5a03af6 Rewrite of the virtual timer code to support both modes at the same timer.
The timers now have a new member 'realtime' and they are driven by the
selected engine. The VGA update timer and the status LED timer now always use
the realtime mode, but the PIT and CMOS RTC depend on the clock options.

c1e54bcfbf Added USB port specific option 'size' for VVFAT disks (range 128M ... 128G).
If the size is not specified or invalid, it defaults to 504M.

d012670927 Applied the usb_xhci part of the USB patch by Ben Lunt.
Notes by Ben:
This emulates a NEC/Renesas uPD720202 2-port (2 socket, 4-port register sets)
Root Hub xHCI Host Controller.
Many, many thanks to Renesas for their work and effort in helping my research.

I have tested in with my own tests and WinXP Home Edition SP3.

Use port1 and port2 to emulate a Super-speed device, and use port3 and port4
to emulate Low-, Full-, or High-speed devices.

NOTE: The Windows driver for this device uses a proprietary detection
mechanism and we don't have the permission to implement it. That's why it only
works fine with non-Windows guests.

fee79a2837 Removed the "slirp backend" networking module from the Bochs sources. It had
required an external binary and it couldn't be ported to Windows. Now the new
builtin and portable slirp support based on Qemu's implementation is almost
stable and all the 'vnet' DHCP and TFTP features have been ported to the new
slirp module.

76a03aa1f0 Networking-related fixes
- bx_param_string_c method isempty() didn't work for raw byte strings. Now using
  it to check whether or not the current value matches the initial one. The
  parameter handling of the network adapters now use this method to check if
  the MAC address is already initialized to avoid incorrect BX_ERRORs.
- small documentation update
