The PAPR specification requires a certain amount of NVRAM, accessed via
RTAS, which we don't currently implement in qemu. This patch addresses
this deficiency, implementing the NVRAM as a VIO device, with some glue to
instantiate it automatically based on a machine option.
The machine option specifies a drive id, which is used to back the NVRAM,
making it persistent. If nothing is specified, the driver instead simply
allocates space for the NVRAM, which will not be persistent

The external CPU models were removed on QEMU 1.2, and the support for
the "cpudef" config sections was documented as deprecated, but the
actual removal of the config section was pending.
Now that QEMU 1.3 was released, we can finally kill the support for
cpudef config sections, and support only the built-in CPU models from
target-i386/cpu.c.

When -usb option is used, global varible usb_enabled is set.
And all the plaform will create one USB controller according
to this variable. In fact, global varibles make code hard
to read.
So this patch is to remove global variable usb_enabled and
add USB option in machine options. All the plaforms will get
USB option value from machine options.
USB option of machine options will be set either by:
* -usb
* -machine type=pseries,usb=on
Both these ways can work now. They both set USB option in
machine options. In the future, the first way will be removed.

This option can be used for passing file descriptors on the
command line. It mirrors the existing add-fd QMP command which
allows an fd to be passed to QEMU via SCM_RIGHTS and added to an
fd set.
This can be combined with commands such as -drive to link file
descriptors in an fd set to a drive:
qemu-kvm -add-fd fd=3,set=2,opaque="rdwr:/path/to/file"
-add-fd fd=4,set=2,opaque="rdonly:/path/to/file"
-drive file=/dev/fdset/2,index=0,media=disk
This example adds dups of fds 3 and 4, and the accompanying opaque
strings to the fd set with ID=2. qemu_open() already knows how
to handle a filename of this format. qemu_open() searches the
corresponding fd set for an fd and when it finds a match, QEMU
goes on to use a dup of that fd just like it would have used an
fd that it opened itself.

Added an option to let qemu transfer a configuration file to bios,
"etc/boot-fail-wait", which could be specified by command
-boot reboot-timeout=T
T have a max value of 0xffff, unit is ms.
With this option, guest will wait for a given time if not find
bootabled device, then reboot. If reboot-timeout is '-1', guest
will not reboot, qemu passes '-1' to bios by default.
This feature need the new seabios's support.
Seabios pulls the value from the fwcfg "file" interface, this
interface is used because SeaBIOS needs a reliable way of
obtaining a name, value size, and value. It in no way requires
that there be a real file on the user's host machine.

Add a new '[,dump-guest-core=on|off]' option to the '-machine' option. When
'dump-guest-core=off' is specified, guest memory is omitted from the core dump.
The default behavior continues to be to include guest memory when a core dump is
triggered. In my testing, this brought the core dump size down from 384MB to 6MB
on a 2GB guest.
Is anything additional required to preserve this setting for migration or

This commit converts qemu_opts_create() from qerror_report() to
error_set().
Currently, most calls to qemu_opts_create() can't fail, so most
callers don't need any changes.
The two cases where code checks for qemu_opts_create() erros are:
1. Initialization code in vl.c. All of them print their own
error messages directly to stderr, no need to pass the Error
object
2. The functions opts_parse(), qemu_opts_from_qdict() and
qemu_chr_parse_compat() make use of the error information and
they can be called from HMP or QMP. In this case, to allow for
incremental conversion, we propagate the error up using
qerror_report_err(), which keeps the QError semantics

[iscsi]
initiator-name = iqn.2004-01.com.example:test
header-digest = CRC32C|CRC32C-NONE|NONE-CRC32C|NONE
user = CHAP username

Turn on SASL support by appending "sasl" to the spice arguments, which
requires that the client use SASL to authenticate with the spice. The
exact choice of authentication method used is controlled from the
system / user's SASL configuration file for the 'qemu' service. This
is typically found in /etc/sasl2/qemu.conf. If running QEMU as an
unprivileged user, an environment variable SASL_CONF_PATH can be used
to make it search alternate locations for the service config. While
some SASL auth methods can also provide data encryption (eg GSSAPI),
it is recommended that SASL always be combined with the 'tls' and
'x509' settings to enable use of SSL and server certificates. This
ensures a data encryption preventing compromise of authentication
credentials.
It requires support from spice 0.8.1.
