SUN Type 4, 5 and 5c keyboards have dip switches to choose the language layout
of the keyboard. Solaris makes an ioctl to query the value of the dipswitches
and uses that value to select keyboard layout. Also the SUN bios like the one
in the file ss5.bin uses this value to support at least some keyboard layouts.
However, the OpenBIOS provided with qemu is hardcoded to always use an US
keyboard layout.
Before this patch, qemu allways gave dip switch value 0x21 (US keyboard),
this patch uses a command line switch like
"-global escc.chnA-sunkbd-layout=de" to select dip switch value. A table is
used to lookup values from arguments like:
-global escc.chnA-sunkbd-layout=fr
-global escc.chnA-sunkbd-layout=es
But the patch also accepts numeric dip switch values directly:
-global escc.chnA-sunkbd-layout=0x2b
-global escc.chnA-sunkbd-layout=43
Both values above are the same and select swedish keyboard as explained in
table 3-15 at
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19683-01/806-6642/new-43/index.html
Unless you want to do a full Solaris installation but happen to have
access to a Sun bios file, the easiest way to test that the patch works
is to:
qemu-system-sparc -global escc.chnA-sunkbd-layout=sv -bios /path/to/ss5.bin
If you already happen to have a Solaris installation in a qemu disk image
file you can easily try different keyboard layouts after this patch is
applied.

Convert the u2f.txt file to rST, and place it in the right place
in our manual layout. The old text didn't fit very well into our
manual style, so the new version ends up looking like a rewrite,
although some of the original text is preserved:
* the 'building' section of the old file is removed, since we
generally assume that users have already built QEMU
* some rather verbose text has been cut back
* document the passthrough device first, on the assumption
that's most likely to be of interest to users
* cut back on the duplication of text between sections
* format example command lines etc with rST
As it's a short document it seemed simplest to do this all
in one go rather than try to do a minimal syntactic conversion
and then clean up the wording and layout.

Provide an introduction to the main components of a CXL system,
with detailed explanation of memory interleaving, example command
lines and kernel configuration.
This was a challenging document to write due to the need to extract
only that subset of CXL information which is relevant to either
users of QEMU emulation of CXL or to those interested in the
implementation. Much of CXL is concerned with specific elements of
the protocol, management of memory pooling etc which is simply
not relevant to what is currently planned for CXL emulation
in QEMU. All comments welcome

While we do mention some of this stuff in the various daemons and
manuals the subtleties of the socket and memory sharing are sometimes
missed. This document attempts to give some background on vhost-user
daemons in general terms.

While we are at it add a brief preamble that explains some of the
common concepts in QEMU's device emulation which will hopefully lead
to less confusing about our dizzying command line options.
