Now that VFIO has a PCI hot reset interface, take advantage of it.
There are two modes that we need to consider. The first is when only
one device within the set of devices affected is actually assigned to
the guest. In this case the other devices are are just held by VFIO
for isolation and we can pretend they're not there, doing an entire
bus reset whenever the device reset callback is triggered. Supporting
this case separately allows us to do the best reset we can do of the
device even if the device is hotplugged.
The second mode is when multiple affected devices are all exposed to
the guest. In this case we can only do a hot reset when the entire
system is being reset. However, this also allows us to track which
individual devices are affected by a reset and only do them once.
We split our reset function into pre- and post-reset helper functions
prioritize the types of device resets available to us, and create
separate _one vs _multi reset interfaces to handle the distinct cases
above.

During vfio-pci initfn, the device is not always in a state where the
option ROM can be read. In the case of graphics cards, there's often
no per function reset, which means we have host driver state affecting
whether the option ROM is usable. Ideally we want to move reading the
option ROM past any co-assigned device resets to the point where the
guest first tries to read the ROM itself.
To accomplish this, we switch the memory region for the option rom to
an I/O region rather than a memory mapped region. This has the side
benefit that we don't waste KVM memory slots for a BAR where we don't
care about performance. This also allows us to delay loading the ROM
from the device until the first read by the guest. We then use the
PCI config space size of the ROM BAR when setting up the BAR through
QEMU PCI.
Another benefit of this approach is that previously when a user set
the ROM to a file using the romfile= option, we still probed VFIO for
the parameters of the ROM, which can result in dmesg errors about an
invalid ROM. We now only probe VFIO to get the ROM contents if the
guest actually tries to read the ROM.

Not all resets are created equal. PM reset is not very reliable,
especially for GPUs, so we might want to opt for a bus reset if a
standard reset will only do a D3hot->D0 transition. We can also
use this to tell if the standard reset will do a bus reset (if
neither has_pm_reset or has_flr is probed, but the device still
supports reset).

When MSI is accelerated through KVM the vectors are only programmed
when the guest first enables MSI support. Subsequent writes to the
vector address or data fields are ignored. Unfortunately that means
we're ignore updates done to adjust SMP affinity of the vectors.
MSI SMP affinity already works in non-KVM mode because the address
and data fields are read from their backing store on each interrupt.
This patch stores the MSIMessage programmed into KVM so that we can
determine when changes are made and update the routes.

Currently, -smbios type=T,NAME=VAL,... adds one field (T,NAME) with
value VAL to fw_cfg for each unique NAME. If NAME occurs multiple
times, the last one's VAL is used (before the QemuOpts conversion, the
first one was used).
Multiple -smbios can add multiple fields with the same (T, NAME).
SeaBIOS reads all of them from fw_cfg, but uses only the first field
(T, NAME). The others are ignored.
"First one wins, subsequent ones get ignored silently" isn't nice. We
commonly let the last option win. Useful, because it lets you
-readconfig first, then selectively override with command line
options.
Clean up -smbios to work the common way. Accumulate the settings,
with later ones overwriting earlier ones. Put the result into fw_cfg
(no more useless duplicates).

We allow either tables or fields for the same type. Makes sense,
because SeaBIOS uses fields only when no tables are present.
We do this by searching the SMBIOS blob for a previously added table
or field. Error messages look like this:
qemu-system-x86_64: -smbios type=1,serial=42: SMBIOS type 1 table already defined, cannot add field
User needs to know that "table" is defined by -smbios file=..., and
"field" by -smbios type=...
Instead of searching the blob, record additions of interest, and check
that. Simpler, and makes better error messages possible:
qemu-system-x86_64: -smbios file=smbios_type_1.bin: Can't mix file= and type= for same type

Currently Xen hvm s3 has a bug coming from the difference between
qemu-traditioanl and qemu-xen. For qemu-traditional, the way to
resume from hvm s3 is via 'xl trigger' command. However, for
qemu-xen, the way to resume from hvm s3 inherited from standard
qemu, i.e. via QMP, and it doesn't work under Xen.
The root cause is, for qemu-xen, 'xl trigger' command didn't reset
devices, while QMP didn't unpause hvm domain though they did qemu
system reset.
We have two qemu patches and one xl patch to fix Xen hvm s3 bug.
This patch is the qemu patch 1. It adjusts qemu wakeup so that
Xen s3 resume logic (which will be implemented at qemu patch 2)
will be notified after qemu system reset.

The following sequence happens:
- the SeaBIOS virtio-blk driver does not support the WCE feature, which
causes QEMU to disable writeback caching
- the Linux virtio-blk driver resets the device, finds WCE is available
but writeback caching is disabled; tells block layer to not send cache
flush commands
- the Linux virtio-blk driver sets the DRIVER_OK bit, which causes
writeback caching to be re-enabled, but the Linux virtio-blk driver does
not know of this side effect and cache flushes remain disabled
The bug is at the third step. If the guest does know about CONFIG_WCE,
QEMU should ignore the WCE feature's state. The guest will control the
cache mode solely using configuration space. This change makes Linux
do flushes correctly, but Linux will keep SeaBIOS's writethrough mode.
Hence, whenever the guest is reset, the cache mode of the disk should
be reset to whatever was specified in the "-drive" option. With this
change, the Linux virtio-blk driver finds that writeback caching is
enabled, and tells the block layer to send cache flush commands
appropriately.
