Use a standard heading format for the index.rst file in a directory.
Using overlines makes it clear that individual documents can use e.g.
=== for chapter titles and --- for section titles, as suggested in the
Linux kernel guidelines[1]. They could do it anyway, because documents
included in a toctree are parsed separately and therefore are not tied
to the same conventions for headings. However, keeping some consistency is
useful since sometimes files are included from multiple places.

As described in the included documentation, the "custom runner" jobs
extend the GitLab CI jobs already in place. One of their primary
goals of catching and preventing regressions on a wider number of host
systems than the ones provided by GitLab's shared runners.
This sets the stage in which other community members can add their own
machine configuration documentation/scripts, and accompanying job
definitions. As a general rule, those newly added contributed jobs
should run as "non-gating", until their reliability is verified (AKA
"allow_failure: true").

In an ideal world, we would all get along together very well, always be
polite and never end up in huge conflicts. And even if there are conflicts,
we would always handle each other fair and respectfully. Unfortunately,
this is not an ideal world and sometimes people forget how to interact with
each other in a professional and respectful way. Fortunately, this seldom
happens in the QEMU community, but for such rare cases it is preferrable
to have a basic code of conduct document available to show to people
who are misbehaving. In case that does not help yet, we should also have
a conflict resolution policy ready that can be applied in the worst case.
The Code of Conduct document tries to be short and to the point while
trying to remain friendly and welcoming; it is based on the Fedora Code
of Conduct[1] with extra detail added based on the Contributor Covenant
1.3.0[2]. Other proposals included the Contributor Covenant 1.3.0 itself
or the Django Code of Conduct[3] (which is also a derivative of Fedora's)
but, in any case, there was agreement on keeping the conflict resolution
policy separate from the CoC itself.
An important point is whether to apply the code of conduct to violations
that occur outside public spaces. The text herein restricts that to
individuals acting as a representative or a member of the project or
its community. This is intermediate between the Contributor Covenant
(which only mentions representatives of the community, for example using
an official project e-mail address or posting via an official social media
account), and the Django Code of Conduct, which says that violations of
this code outside these spaces "may" be considered but otherwise applies
no limit.
The conflict resolution policy is based on the Drupal Conflict Resolution
Policy[4] and its derivative, the Mozilla Consequence Ladder[5].

We have a very frequent pattern of creating a coroutine from a function
with several arguments:
- create a structure to pack parameters
- create _entry function to call original function taking parameters
from struct
- do different magic to handle completion: set ret to NOT_DONE or
EINPROGRESS or use separate bool field
- fill the struct and create coroutine from _entry function with this
struct as a parameter
- do coroutine enter and BDRV_POLL_WHILE loop
Let's reduce code duplication by generating coroutine wrappers.
This patch adds scripts/block-coroutine-wrapper.py together with some
friends, which will generate functions with declared prototypes marked
by the 'generated_co_wrapper' specifier.
The usage of new code generation is as follows:
1. define the coroutine function somewhere
int coroutine_fn bdrv_co_NAME(...) {...}
2. declare in some header file
int generated_co_wrapper bdrv_NAME(...);
with same list of parameters (generated_co_wrapper is
defined in "include/block/block.h").
3. Make sure the block_gen_c declaration in block/meson.build
mentions the file with your marker function.
Still, no function is now marked, this work is for the following
commit.

By default Sphinx wants to build a single manual at once.
For QEMU, this doesn't suit us, because we want to have
separate manuals for "Developer's Guide", "User Manual",
and so on, and we don't want to ship the Developer's Guide
to end-users. However, we don't want to completely duplicate
conf.py for each manual, and we'd like to continue to
support "build all docs in one run" for third-party sites
like readthedocs.org.
Make the top-level conf.py support two usage forms:
(1) as a common config file which is included by the conf.py
for each of QEMU's manuals: in this case sphinx-build is run
multiple times, once per subdirectory.
(2) as a top level conf file which will result in building all
the manuals into a single document: in this case sphinx-build is
run once, on the top-level docs directory.
Provide per-manual conf.py files and top level pages for
our first two manuals:
* QEMU Developer's Guide (docs/devel)
* QEMU System Emulation Management and Interoperability Guide
(docs/interop)
