When MSI is off, each interrupt needs to be bounced through the io
thread when it's set/cleared, so vhost-net causes more context switches and
higher CPU utilization than userspace virtio which handles networking in
the same thread.

Virtqueue notify is currently handled synchronously in userspace virtio. This
prevents the vcpu from executing guest code while hardware emulation code
handles the notify.
On systems that support KVM, the ioeventfd mechanism can be used to make
virtqueue notify a lightweight exit by deferring hardware emulation to the
iothread and allowing the VM to continue execution. This model is similar to
how vhost receives virtqueue notifies.
The result of this change is improved performance for userspace virtio devices.
Virtio-blk throughput increases especially for multithreaded scenarios and
virtio-net transmit throughput increases substantially.
Some virtio devices are known to have guest drivers which expect a notify to be
processed synchronously and spin waiting for completion.
For virtio-net, this also seems to interact with the guest stack in strange
ways so that TCP throughput for small message sizes (~200bytes)
is harmed. Only enable ioeventfd for virtio-blk for now.
Care must be taken not to interfere with vhost-net, which uses host
notifiers. If the set_host_notifier() API is used by a device
virtio-pci will disable virtio-ioeventfd and let the device deal with
host notifiers as it wishes.
Finally, there used to be a limit of 6 KVM io bus devices inside the
kernel. On such a kernel, don't use ioeventfd for virtqueue host
notification since the limit is reached too easily. This ensures that
existing vhost-net setups (which always use ioeventfd) have ioeventfds
available so they can continue to work.
After migration and on VM change state (running/paused) virtio-ioeventfd
will enable/disable itself.
* VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK -> enable virtio-ioeventfd
* !VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK -> disable virtio-ioeventfd
* virtio_pci_set_host_notifier() -> disable virtio-ioeventfd
* vm_change_state(running=0) -> disable virtio-ioeventfd

Add three new qdev properties to export block topology information to
the guest. This is needed to get optimal I/O alignment for RAID arrays
or SSDs.
The options are:
- physical_block_size to specify the physical block size of the device,
this is going to increase from 512 bytes to 4096 kilobytes for many
modern storage devices
- min_io_size to specify the minimal I/O size without performance impact,
this is typically set to the RAID chunk size for arrays.
- opt_io_size to specify the optimal sustained I/O size, this is
typically the RAID stripe width for arrays.
I decided to not auto-probe these values from blkid which might easily
be possible as I don't know how to deal with these issues on migration.
Note that we specificly only set the physical_block_size, and not the
logial one which is the unit all I/O is described in. The reason for
that is that IDE does not support increasing the logical block size and
at last for now I want to stick to one meachnisms in queue and allow
for easy switching of transports for a given backing image which would
not be possible if scsi and virtio use real 4k sectors, while ide only
uses the physical block exponent.
To make this more common for the different block drivers introduce a
new BlockConf structure holding all common block properties and a
DEFINE_BLOCK_PROPERTIES macro to add them all together, mirroring
what is done for network drivers. Also switch over all block drivers
to use it, except for the floppy driver which has weird driveA/driveB
properties and probably won't require any advanced block options ever.
Example usage for a virtio device with 4k physical block size and
8k optimal I/O size:
-drive file=scratch.img,media=disk,cache=none,id=scratch \
-device virtio-blk-pci,drive=scratch,physical_block_size=4096,opt_io_size=8192

This commit converts the virtio-console device to create a new
virtio-serial bus that can host console and generic serial ports. The
file hosting this code is now called virtio-serial-bus.c.
The virtio console is now a very simple qdev device that sits on the
virtio-serial-bus and communicates between the bus and qemu's chardevs.
This commit also includes a few changes to the virtio backing code for
pci and s390 to spawn the virtio-serial bus.
As a result of the qdev conversion, we get rid of a lot of legacy code.
The old-style way of instantiating a virtio console using
-virtioconsole ...
is maintained, but the new, preferred way is to use
-device virtio-serial -device virtconsole,chardev=...
With this commit, multiple devices as well as multiple ports with a
single device can be supported.
For multiple ports support, each port gets an IO vq pair. Since the
guest needs to know in advance how many vqs a particular device will
need, we have to set this number as a property of the virtio-serial
device and also as a config option.
In addition, we also spawn a pair of control IO vqs. This is an internal
channel meant for guest-host communication for things like port
open/close, sending port properties over to the guest, etc.
This commit is a part of a series of other commits to get the full
implementation of multiport support. Future commits will add other
support as well as ride on the savevm version that we bump up here.

First user of the new drive property. With this patch applied host
and guest config can be specified separately, like this:
-drive if=none,id=disk1,file=/path/to/disk.img
-device virtio-blk-pci,drive=disk1
You can set any property for virtio-blk-pci now. You can set the pci
address via addr=. You can switch the device into 0.10 compat mode
using class=0x0180. As this is per device you can have one 0.10 and one
0.11 virtio block device in a single virtual machine.
Old syntax continues to work. Internally it does the same as the two
lines above though. One side effect this has is a different
initialization order, which might result in a different pci address
being assigned by default.
Long term plan here is to have this working for all block devices, i.e.
once all scsi is properly qdev-ified you will be able to do something
like this:
-drive if=none,id=sda,file=/path/to/disk.img
-device lsi,id=lsi,addr=<pciaddr>
-device scsi-disk,drive=sda,bus=lsi.0,lun=<n>

Support a new feature flag for indirect ring entries. These are ring
entries which point to a table of buffer descriptors.
The idea here is to increase the ring capacity by allowing a larger
effective ring size whereby the ring size dictates the number of
requests that may be outstanding, rather than the size of those
requests.
This should be most effective in the case of block I/O where we can
potentially benefit by concurrently dispatching a large number of
large requests. Even in the simple case of single segment block
requests, this results in a threefold increase in ring capacity.
