94527ead7e usb: add ehci adapter
This patch finally merges the EHCI host adapter aka USB 2.0 support.

Based on the ehci bits collected @ git://git.kiszka.org/qemu.git ehci

EHCI has a long out-of-tree history.  Project was started by Mark
Burkley, with contributions by Niels de Vos.  David S. Ahern continued
working on it.  Kevin Wolf, Jan Kiszka and Vincent Palatin contributed
bugfixes.

/me (Gerd Hoffmann) picked it up where it left off, prepared the code
for merge, fixed a few bugs and added basic user docs.

03feae7305 Add qcow2 documentation
This adds a description of the qcow2 file format to the docs/ directory.
Besides documenting what's there, which is never wrong, the document should
provide a good basis for the discussion of format extensions (called "qcow3"
in previous discussions)

0b5538c300 simpletrace: Thread-safe tracing
Trace events outside the global mutex cannot be used with the simple
trace backend since it is not thread-safe.  There is no check to prevent
them being enabled so people sometimes learn this the hard way.

This patch restructures the simple trace backend with a ring buffer
suitable for multiple concurrent writers.  A writeout thread empties the
trace buffer when threshold fill levels are reached.  Should the
writeout thread be unable to keep up with trace generation, records will
simply be dropped.

Each time events are dropped a special record is written to the trace
file indicating how many events were dropped.  The event ID is
0xfffffffffffffffe and its signature is dropped(uint32_t count).

b48c20f723 docs: Update stderr and simple backend, add systemtap backend
The following additions to the tracing documentation are included:

1. Move "stderr" backend documentation to top-level and out of "simple"
   backend.  Include hints on when this backend is useful.

2. Document the "simple" backend thread-safety limitation.

3. Document the "dtrace" backend for SystemTap.

d9d334176c blkverify: Add block driver for verifying I/O
The blkverify block driver makes investigating image format data
corruption much easier.  A raw image initialized with the same contents
as the test image (e.g. qcow2 file) must be provided.  The raw image
mirrors read/write operations and is used to verify that data read from
the test image is correct.

See docs/blkverify.txt for more information.
