f4dfa67f04 ISCSI: Switch to using READ16/WRITE16 for I/O to the LUN
This allows using LUNs bigger than 2TB.  Keep using READ10 for other
device types such as MMC.

dbfff6d776 ISCSI: get device type at connection time
This is needed to avoid READ CAPACITY(16) for MMC devices.

c9b9f6824f ISCSI: redo how we set up the events
Call qemu_notify_event() after updating events.  Otherwise, If we add
an event for -is-writeable but the socket is already writeable there
may be a delay before the event callback is actually triggered.

Those delays would in particular hurt performance during BIOS boot and
when the GRUB bootloader reads the kernel and initrd.

But first call out to the socket write functions directly, and only set up
the write event if the socket is full.  This will happen very rarely and
this improves performance.

fa6acb0c2f ISCSI: Add support for thin-provisioning via discard/UNMAP and bigger LUNs
Update the configure test for libiscsi support to detect version 1.3
or later.  Version 1.3 of libiscsi provides both READCAPACITY16 as well
as UNMAP commands.

Update the iscsi block layer to use READCAPACITY16 to detect the size of
the LUN instead of READCAPACITY10. This allows support for LUNs larger
than 2TB.

Update to implement bdrv_aio_discard() using the UNMAP command.
This allows us to use thin-provisioned LUNs from TGTD and other iSCSI
targets that support thin-provisioning.

f9dadc9855 iSCSI: add configuration variables for iSCSI
This patch adds configuration variables for iSCSI to set
initiator-name to use when logging in to the target,
which type of header-digest to negotiate with the target
and username and password for CHAP authentication.

This allows specifying a initiator-name either from the command line
-iscsi initiator-name=iqn.2004-01.com.example:test
or from a configuration file included with -readconfig
    [iscsi]
      initiator-name = iqn.2004-01.com.example:test
      header-digest = CRC32C|CRC32C-NONE|NONE-CRC32C|NONE
      user = CHAP username
      password = CHAP password

If you use several different targets, you can also configure this on a per
target basis by using a group name:
    [iscsi "iqn.target.name"]
    ...

The configuration file can be read using -readconfig.
Example :
qemu-system-i386 -drive file=iscsi://127.0.0.1/iqn.ronnie.test/1
 -readconfig iscsi.conf

c589b24972 iSCSI block driver
This provides built-in support for iSCSI to QEMU.

This has the advantage that the iSCSI devices need not be made visible to the host, which is useful if you have very many virtual machines and very many iscsi devices.
It also has the benefit that non-root users of QEMU can access iSCSI devices across the network without requiring root privilege on the host.

This driver interfaces with the multiplatform posix library for iscsi initiator/client access to iscsi devices hosted at
    git://github.com/sahlberg/libiscsi.git

The patch adds the driver to interface with the iscsi library.
It also updated the configure script to
* by default, probe is libiscsi is available and if so, build
  qemu against libiscsi.
* --enable-libiscsi
  Force a build against libiscsi. If libiscsi is not available
  the build will fail.
* --disable-libiscsi
  Do not link against libiscsi, even if it is available.

When linked with libiscsi, qemu gains support to access iscsi resources such as disks and cdrom directly, without having to make the devices visible to the host.

You can specify devices using a iscsi url of the form :
iscsi://[<username>[:<password>@]]<host>[:<port]/<target-iqn-name>/<lun>
When using authentication, the password can optionally be set with
LIBISCSI_CHAP_PASSWORD="password" to avoid it showing up in the process list
