In subpage_read() we perform a load of the data into a local buffer
which we then access using ldub_p(), lduw_p(), ldl_p() or ldq_p()
depending on its size, storing the result into the uint64_t *data.
Since ldl_p() returns an 'int', this means that for the 4-byte
case we will sign-extend the data, whereas for 1 and 2 byte
reads we zero-extend it.
This ought not to matter since the caller will likely ignore values in
the high bytes of the data, but add a cast so that we're consistent.

There's a common pattern in QEMU where a function needs to perform
a data load or store of an N byte integer in a particular endianness.
At the moment this is handled by doing a switch() on the size and
calling the appropriate ld*_p or st*_p function for each size.
Provide a new family of functions ldn_*_p() and stn_*_p() which
take the size as an argument and do the switch() themselves.

The tricky part is retaining the migration compatibility for
existing OR gates; we add a subsection which is only used
for larger OR gates, and define it such that we can freely
increase MAX_OR_LINES in future (or even move to a dynamically

The Cortex-M CPU and its NVIC are two intimately intertwined parts of
the same hardware; it is not possible to use one without the other.
Unfortunately a lot of our board models don't do any sanity checking
on the CPU type the user asks for, so a command line like
qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -cpu cortex-m3
will create an M3 without an NVIC, and coredump immediately.
In the other direction, trying a non-M-profile CPU in an M-profile
board won't blow up, but doesn't do anything useful either:
qemu-system-arm -M lm3s6965evb -cpu arm926
Add some checking in the NVIC and CPU realize functions that the
user isn't trying to use an NVIC without an M-profile CPU or
an M-profile CPU without an NVIC, so we can produce a helpful
error message rather than a core dump.

Remove the now-unused armv7m_init() function. This was a legacy from
before we properly QOMified ARMv7M, and it has some flaws:
* it combines work that needs to be done by an SoC object (creating
and initializing the TYPE_ARMV7M object) with work that needs to
be done by the board model (setting the system up to load the ELF
file specified with -kernel)
* TYPE_ARMV7M creation failure is fatal, but an SoC object wants to
arrange to propagate the failure outward
* it uses allocate-and-create via qdev_create() whereas the current
preferred style for SoC objects is to do creation in-place
Board and SoC models can instead do the two jobs this function
was doing themselves, in the right places and with whatever their
preferred style/error handling is.

Legacy -drive supports "password-secret" parameter that isn't

Let's review our reasons for backing out the first try, as stated in

* BlockdevOptionsRbd member @password-secret isn't actually a
password, it's a key generated by Ceph.
Addressed by the rename.
* We're not sure where member @password-secret belongs (see the

See previous commit.

file specified with @conf is undocumented.

Parameter auth-client-required lets you configure authentication
methods. We tried to provide that in v2.9.0, but backed out due to
interface design doubts (commit 464444fcc1).
This commit is similar to what we backed out, but simpler: we use a
list of enumeration values instead of a list of objects with a member
of enumeration type.
Let's review our reasons for backing out the first try, as stated in
the commit message:
* The implementation uses deprecated rados_conf_set() key
"auth_supported". No biggie.
Fixed: we use "auth-client-required".
* The implementation makes -drive silently ignore invalid parameters
"auth" and "auth-supported.*.X" where X isn't "auth". Fixable (in
fact I'm going to fix similar bugs around parameter server), so
again no biggie.
That fix is commit 2836284db6. This commit doesn't bring the bugs
back.
* BlockdevOptionsRbd member @password-secret applies only to
authentication method cephx. Should it be a variant member of
RbdAuthMethod?
We've had time to ponder, and we decided to stick to the way Ceph
configuration works: the key configured separately, and silently
ignored if the authentication method doesn't use it.
* BlockdevOptionsRbd member @user could apply to both methods cephx
and none, but I'm not sure it's actually used with none. If it
isn't, should it be a variant member of RbdAuthMethod?
Likewise.
* The client offers a *set* of authentication methods, not a list.
Should the methods be optional members of BlockdevOptionsRbd instead
of members of list @auth-supported? The latter begs the question
what multiple entries for the same method mean. Trivial question
now that RbdAuthMethod contains nothing but @type, but less so when
RbdAuthMethod acquires other members, such the ones discussed above.
Again, we decided to stick to the way Ceph configuration works, except
we make auth-client-required a list of enumeration values instead of a
string containing keywords separated by delimiters.
* How BlockdevOptionsRbd member @auth-supported interacts with
settings from a configuration file specified with @conf is
undocumented. I suspect it's untested, too.
Not actually true, the documentation for @conf says "Values in the

-blockdev and blockdev-add silently ignore empty objects and arrays in
their argument. That's because qmp_blockdev_add() converts the
argument to a flat QDict, and qdict_flatten() eats empty QDict and
QList members. For instance, we ignore an empty BlockdevOptions
member @cache. No real harm, as absent means the same as empty there.
Thus, the flaw puts an artificial restriction on the QAPI schema: we
can't have potentially empty objects and arrays within
BlockdevOptions, except when they're optional and "empty" has the same
meaning as "absent".
Our QAPI schema satisfies this restriction (I checked), but it's a

for the wary. Let's get rid of it.
Change qdict_flatten() and qdict_crumple() to treat empty dictionaries
and lists exactly like scalars.
