Problem: Our file sys-queue.h is a copy of the BSD file, but there are
some additions and it's not entirely compatible. Because of that, there have
been conflicts with system headers on BSD systems. Some hacks have been
introduced in the commits 15cc923584,
f40d753718,
96555a96d7 and
3990d09adf but the fixes were fragile.
Solution: Avoid the conflict entirely by renaming the functions and the
file. Revert the previous hacks.

Some functions exported to be used by the Monitor as command
handlers are also called in other places as regular functions.
When those functions got ported to use the Monitor dictionary
to pass argments, the callers will have to setup a dictionary
to be able to call them.
To avoid this problem, this commit add wrappers to those functions,
so that we change the wrapper to accept the dictionary, letting
the current functions as is.
The following wrappers are being added:
- do_help_cmd()
- do_pci_device_hot_remove()

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.

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.

Refactor the monitor API and prepare it for decoupled terminals:
term_print functions are renamed to monitor_* and all monitor services
gain a new parameter (mon) that will once refer to the monitor instance
the output is supposed to appear on. However, the argument remains
unused for now. All monitor command callbacks are also extended by a mon
parameter so that command handlers are able to pass an appropriate
reference to monitor output services.
For the case that monitor outputs so far happen without clearly
identifiable context, the global variable cur_mon is introduced that
shall once provide a pointer either to the current active monitor (while
processing commands) or to the default one. On the mid or long term,
those use case will be obsoleted so that this variable can be removed
again.
Due to the broad usage of the monitor interface, this patch mostly deals
with converting users of the monitor API. A few of them are already
extended to pass 'mon' from the command handler further down to internal
functions that invoke monitor_printf.
At this chance, monitor-related prototypes are moved from console.h to
a new monitor.h. The same is done for the readline API.

The current savevm/loadvm protocol has some draw backs. It does not support
the ability to do progressive saving which means it cannot be used for live
checkpointing or migration. The sections sizes are 32-bit integers which
means that it will not function when using more than 4GB of memory for a guest.
It attempts to seek within the output file which means it cannot be streamed.
The current protocol also is pretty lax about how it supports forward
compatibility. If a saved section version is greater than what the restore
code support, the restore code generally treats the saved data as being in
whatever version it supports. This means that restoring a saved VM on an older
version of QEMU will likely result in silent guest failure.
This patch introduces a new version of the savevm protocol. It has the
following features:
* Support for progressive save of sections (for live checkpoint/migration)
* An asynchronous API for doing save
* Support for interleaving multiple progressive save sections
(for future support of memory hot-add/storage migration)
* Fully streaming format
* Strong section version checking
