It will still allow us to use cpu_index as migration instance_id
since when CPUs are added contiguously (from the first to the last)
and removed in opposite order, cpu_index stays stable and it's
reproducible on destination side.
While there is work in progress to support migration when there
are holes in cpu_index range resulting from out-of-order plug or
unplug, this patch is intended as an interim solution until
cpu_index usage is cleaned up.
As result of this patch it would be possible to plug/unplug CPUs,
but in limited order that doesn't break migration.

Currently QEMU sets the x86 number of physical address bits to the
magic number 40. This is only correct on some small AMD systems;
Intel systems tend to have 36, 39, 46 bits, and large AMD systems
tend to have 48.
Having the value different from your actual hardware is detectable
by the guest and in principal can cause problems;
The current limit of 40 stops TB VMs being created by those lucky
enough to have that much.
This patch lets you set the physical bits by a cpu property but
defaults to the same 40bits which matches TCGs setup.
I've removed the ancient warning about the 42 bit limit in exec.c;
I can't find that limit in there and no one else seems to know where
it is.

Since the raw format driver is just passing things through, we can
do byte-based read and write if the underlying protocol does
likewise.
There's one tricky part - if we probed the image format, we document
that we restrict operations on the initial sector. It's easiest to
keep this guarantee by enforcing read-modify-write on sub-sector
operations (yes, this partially reverts commit ad82be2f).

Now that the block layer will honor max_transfer, we can simplify
our code to rely on that guarantee.
The readv code can call directly into nbd-client, just as the
writev code has done since commit 52a4650.
Interestingly enough, while qemu-io 'w 0 40m' splits into a 32M
and 8M transaction, 'w -z 0 40m' splits into two 16M and an 8M,
because the block layer caps the bounce buffer for writing zeroes
at 16M. When we later introduce support for NBD_CMD_WRITE_ZEROES,
we can get a full 32M zero write (or larger, if the client and
server negotiate that write zeroes can use a larger size than
ordinary writes).

Drivers should be able to rely on the block layer honoring the
max transfer length, rather than needing to return -EINVAL
(iscsi) or manually fragment things (nbd). We already fragment
write zeroes at the block layer; this patch adds the fragmentation
for normal writes, after requests have been aligned (fragmenting
before alignment would lead to multiple unaligned requests, rather
than just the head and tail).
When fragmenting a large request where FUA was requested, but
where we know that FUA is implemented by flushing all requests
rather than the given request, then we can still get by with
only one flush. Note, however, that we need a followup patch
to the raw format driver to avoid a regression in the number of
flushes actually issued.
The return value was previously nebulous on success (sometimes
zero, sometimes the length written); since we never have a short
write, and since fragmenting may store yet another positive
value in 'ret', change the function to always return 0 on success,
matching what we do in bdrv_aligned_preadv().

The raw format layer supports all flags via passthrough - but
it only makes sense to pass through flags that the lower layer
actually supports.
The next patch gives stronger reasoning for why this is correct.
At the moment, the raw format layer ignores the max_transfer
limit of its protocol layer, and an attempt to do the qemu-io
'w -f 0 40m' to an NBD server that lacks FUA will pass the entire
40m request to the NBD driver, which then fragments the request
itself into a 32m write, 8m write, and flush. But once the block
layer starts honoring limits and fragmenting packets, the raw
driver will hand the NBD driver two separate requests; if both
requests have BDRV_REQ_FUA set, then this would result in a 32m
write, flush, 8m write, and second flush. By having the raw
layer no longer advertise FUA support when the protocol layer
lacks it, we are back to a single flush at the block layer for
the overall 40m request.
Note that 'w -f -z 0 40m' does not currently exhibit the same
problem, because there, the fragmentation does not occur until
at the NBD layer (the raw layer has .bdrv_co_pwrite_zeroes, and
the NBD layer doesn't advertise max_pwrite_zeroes to constrain
things at the raw layer) - but the problem is latent and we
would again have too many flushes without this patch once the
NBD layer implements support for the new NBD_CMD_WRITE_ZEROES
command, if it sets max_pwrite_zeroes to the same 32m limit as
recommended by the NBD protocol.

Drivers should be able to rely on the block layer honoring the
max transfer length, rather than needing to return -EINVAL
(iscsi) or manually fragment things (nbd). This patch adds
the fragmentation in the block layer, after requests have been
aligned (fragmenting before alignment would lead to multiple
unaligned requests, rather than just the head and tail).
The return value was previously nebulous on success on whether
it was zero or the length read; and fragmenting may introduce
yet other non-zero values if we use the last length read. But
as at least some callers are sloppy and expect only zero on
success, it is easiest to just guarantee 0.
[Fix uninitialized ret local variable in bdrv_aligned_preadv().

Enabled by default, can be used to turn off (usb3) streams support.
xhci has a such a property too (same name, same default).
