If the device we open is a SMC or SSC device, then force the use of sg. We
dont have any medium changer or tape emulation so only passthrough via
real sg or scsi-generic via iscsi would work anyway.
Forcing sg also makes qemu skip trying to read from the device to guess
the image format by reading from the device (find_image_format()).
SMC devices do not implement READ6/10/12/16 so it is not possible to
read from them (SSC have different CDBs).
With this patch I can successfully manage a SMC device wiht iscsi in
passthrough mode.

Update iscsi to allow passthrough of SG_IO scsi commands when the iscsi
device is forced to be scsi-generic.
Implement both bdrv_ioctl() and bdrv_aio_ioctl() in the iscsi backend,
emulate the SG_IO ioctl and pass the SCSI commands across to the
iscsi target.
This allows end-to-end passthrough of SCSI all the way from the guest,
to qemu, via scsi-generic, then libiscsi all the way to the iscsi target.
To activate this you need to specify that the iscsi lun should be treated
as a scsi-generic device.
Example:
-device lsi -device scsi-generic,drive=MyISCSI \
-drive file=iscsi://10.1.1.125/iqn.ronnie.test/1,if=none,id=MyISCSI
Note, you can currently not boot a qemu guest from a scsi device.
Note,
This only works when the host is linux, since the emulation relies on
definitions of SG_IO from the scsi-generic implementation in the
linux kernel.
It should be fairly easy to re-implement some structures similar enough
for non-linux hosts to do the same style of passthrough via a fake
scsi generic layer and libiscsi if need be.

It now allows specifying offset within qiov to start from and
amount of bytes to copy. Actual implementation is just a call
to iov_to_buf().

This allows using LUNs bigger than 2TB. Keep using READ10 for other
device types such as MMC.

This is needed to avoid READ CAPACITY(16) for MMC devices.

Call qemu_notify_event() after updating events. Otherwise, If we add
an event for -is-writeable but the socket is already writeable there
may be a delay before the event callback is actually triggered.
Those delays would in particular hurt performance during BIOS boot and
when the GRUB bootloader reads the kernel and initrd.
But first call out to the socket write functions directly, and only set up
the write event if the socket is full. This will happen very rarely and
this improves performance.

Update the configure test for libiscsi support to detect version 1.3
or later. Version 1.3 of libiscsi provides both READCAPACITY16 as well
as UNMAP commands.
Update the iscsi block layer to use READCAPACITY16 to detect the size of
the LUN instead of READCAPACITY10. This allows support for LUNs larger
than 2TB.
Update to implement bdrv_aio_discard() using the UNMAP command.
This allows us to use thin-provisioned LUNs from TGTD and other iSCSI
targets that support thin-provisioning.

This patch adds configuration variables for iSCSI to set
initiator-name to use when logging in to the target,
which type of header-digest to negotiate with the target
and username and password for CHAP authentication.
This allows specifying a initiator-name either from the command line
-iscsi initiator-name=iqn.2004-01.com.example:test
or from a configuration file included with -readconfig
[iscsi]
initiator-name = iqn.2004-01.com.example:test
header-digest = CRC32C|CRC32C-NONE|NONE-CRC32C|NONE
user = CHAP username
password = CHAP password
If you use several different targets, you can also configure this on a per
target basis by using a group name:
[iscsi "iqn.target.name"]
...
The configuration file can be read using -readconfig.
Example :
qemu-system-i386 -drive file=iscsi://127.0.0.1/iqn.ronnie.test/1
-readconfig iscsi.conf

This provides built-in support for iSCSI to QEMU.
This has the advantage that the iSCSI devices need not be made visible to the host, which is useful if you have very many virtual machines and very many iscsi devices.
It also has the benefit that non-root users of QEMU can access iSCSI devices across the network without requiring root privilege on the host.
This driver interfaces with the multiplatform posix library for iscsi initiator/client access to iscsi devices hosted at
git://github.com/sahlberg/libiscsi.git
The patch adds the driver to interface with the iscsi library.
It also updated the configure script to
* by default, probe is libiscsi is available and if so, build
qemu against libiscsi.
* --enable-libiscsi
Force a build against libiscsi. If libiscsi is not available
the build will fail.
* --disable-libiscsi
Do not link against libiscsi, even if it is available.
When linked with libiscsi, qemu gains support to access iscsi resources such as disks and cdrom directly, without having to make the devices visible to the host.
You can specify devices using a iscsi url of the form :
iscsi://[<username>[:<password>@]]<host>[:<port]/<target-iqn-name>/<lun>
When using authentication, the password can optionally be set with
LIBISCSI_CHAP_PASSWORD="password" to avoid it showing up in the process list
