When bdrv_close_all() is called, instead of force-closing all root
BlockDriverStates, it is better to just drop the reference from all
BlockBackends and let them be closed automatically. This prevents BDS
from getting closed that are still referenced by other BDS, which may
result in loss of cached data.
This patch adds a function for doing that, but does not yet incorporate
it in bdrv_close_all().

bdrv_close() no longer signifies ejection of a medium, this is now done
by removing the BDS from the BB. Therefore, we want to have a notifier
for that in the BB instead of a close notifier in the BDS. The former is
added now, the latter is removed later.
Symmetrically, another notifier list is added that is invoked whenever a
BDS is inserted. We will need that for virtio-blk and virtio-scsi, which
can then remove their op blockers on BDS ejection and set them up on
insertion.

blk_dev_change_media_cb() is called for all potential tray movements;
however, it is possible to request closing the tray but nothing actually
happening (on a floppy disk drive without a medium).
Thus, the actual tray status should be inquired before sending a
tray-moved event (and an event should be sent whenever the status
changed).
Checking @load is now superfluous; it was necessary because it was
possible to change a medium without having explicitly opened the tray
and closed it again (or it might have been possible, at least). This is
no longer possible, though.

blk_new_with_bs() creates a BlockBackend with an empty BlockDriverState
attached to it. Empty BDSs are not nice, therefore add an alternative
function which combines blk_new_with_bs() with bdrv_open().
Note: In contrast to bdrv_open() which takes a BlockDriver parameter,
blk_new_open() does not take such a parameter. This is because
bdrv_open() opens a BlockDriverState, therefore it is natural to be able
to set the BlockDriver for that BDS. The fact that bdrv_open() can open
more than a single BDS is merely some form of a byproduct.
blk_new_open() on the other hand is intended to be used to create a
whole tree of BlockDriverStates. Therefore, setting a single BlockDriver
does not make much sense. Instead, the drivers to be used for each of
the nodes must be configured through the "options" QDict; including the
driver of the root BDS.

Board initialization code looking for IDE drive (0,0) can pick up one
of these bogus drives. The QMP command has to execute really early to

Fix by creating DriveInfo in drive_new(). Block backends created by

itself when set up via xenbus, bypassing blockdev.c. I figure it
should go through qmp_blockdev_add() instead.
* Device model "usb-storage" prompts for keys. No other device model
does, and this one probably shouldn't do it, either.
* ide_issue_trim_cb() uses bdrv_aio_discard() instead of

A block device consists of a frontend device model and a backend.
A block backend has a tree of block drivers doing the actual work.
The tree is managed by the block layer.
We currently use a single abstraction BlockDriverState both for tree
nodes and the backend as a whole. Drawbacks:
* Its API includes both stuff that makes sense only at the block
backend level (root of the tree) and stuff that's only for use
within the block layer. This makes the API bigger and more complex
than necessary. Moreover, it's not obvious which interfaces are
meant for device models, and which really aren't.
* Since device models keep a reference to their backend, the backend
object can't just be destroyed. But for media change, we need to
replace the tree. Our solution is to make the BlockDriverState
generic, with actual driver state in a separate object, pointed to
by member opaque. That lets us replace the tree by deinitializing
and reinitializing its root. This special need of the root makes
the data structure awkward everywhere in the tree.
The general plan is to separate the APIs into "block backend", for use
by device models, monitor and whatever other code dealing with block
backends, and "block driver", for use by the block layer and whatever
other code (if any) dealing with trees and tree nodes.
Code dealing with block backends, device models in particular, should
become completely oblivious of BlockDriverState. This should let us
clean up both APIs, and the tree data structures.
This commit is a first step. It creates a minimal "block backend"
API: type BlockBackend and functions to create, destroy and find them.
BlockBackend objects are created and destroyed exactly when root
BlockDriverState objects are created and destroyed. "Root" in the
sense of "in bdrv_states". They're not yet used for anything; that'll
come shortly.
A root BlockDriverState is created with bdrv_new_root(), so where to
create a BlockBackend is obvious. Where these roots get destroyed
isn't always as obvious.
It is obvious in qemu-img.c, qemu-io.c and qemu-nbd.c, and in error
paths of blockdev_init(), blk_connect(). That leaves destruction of
objects successfully created by blockdev_init() and blk_connect().
blockdev_init() is used only by drive_new() and qmp_blockdev_add().
Objects created by the latter are currently indestructible (see commit
48f364d "blockdev: Refuse to drive_del something added with
blockdev-add" and commit 2d246f0 "blockdev: Introduce
DriveInfo.enable_auto_del"). Objects created by the former get
destroyed by drive_del().
Objects created by blk_connect() get destroyed by blk_disconnect().
BlockBackend is reference-counted. Its reference count never exceeds
one so far, but that's going to change.
In drive_del(), the BB's reference count is surely one now. The BDS's
reference count is greater than one when something else is holding a
reference, such as a block job. In this case, the BB is destroyed
right away, but the BDS lives on until all extra references get
dropped.
