Usually the guest can tell the host to flush data to disk. In some cases we
don't want to flush though, but try to keep everything in cache.
So let's add a new cache value to -drive that allows us to set the cache
policy to most aggressive, disabling flushes. We call this mode "unsafe",
as guest data is not guaranteed to survive host crashes anymore.
This patch also adds a noop function for aio, so we can do nothing in AIO
fashion.

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.

Add generic support for debugging consoles (simple I/O ports which
when written to cause debugging output to be written to a target.)
The current implementation matches Bochs' port 0xe9, allowing the same
debugging code to be used for both Bochs and Qemu.
There is no vm state associated with the debugging port, simply
because it has none -- the entire interface is a single, stateless,
write-only port.
Most of the code was cribbed from the serial port driver.
v2: removed non-ISA variants (they can be introduced when/if someone
wants them, using code from the serial port); added configurable
readback (Bochs returns 0xe9 on a read from this register, mimic that
by default) This retains the apparently somewhat controversial user
friendly option, however.
v3: reimplemented the user friendly option as a synthetic option
("-debugcon foo" basically ends up being a parser-level shorthand for
"-chardev stdio,id=debugcon -device isa-debugcon,chardev=debugcon") --
this dramatically reduced the complexity while keeping the same level
of user friendliness.
v4: spaces, not tabs.
v5: update to match current top of tree. Calling qemu_chr_open()
already during parsing no longer works; defer until we are parsing the
other console-like devices.

This can also be used to set properties for devices which are not
created via -device but implicitly via machine init, i.e.

kqemu introduces a number of restrictions on the i386 target. The worst is that
it prevents large memory from working in the default build.
Furthermore, kqemu is fundamentally flawed in a number of ways. It relies on
the TSC as a time source which will not be reliable on a multiple processor
system in userspace. Since most modern processors are multicore, this severely
limits the utility of kqemu.
kvm is a viable alternative for people looking to accelerate qemu and has the
benefit of being supported by the upstream Linux kernel. If someone can
implement work arounds to remove the restrictions introduced by kqemu, I'm
happy to avoid and/or revert this patch.

On reflection, perhaps it does make sense to set a default value for
the sndbuf= tap parameter.
For best effect, sndbuf= should be set to just below the capacity of
the physical NIC.
Setting it higher will cause packets to be dropped before the limit
is hit. Setting it much lower will not cause any problems unless
you set it low enough such that the guest cannot queue up new packets
before the NIC has emptied its queue.
In Linux, txqueuelen=1000 by default for ethernet NICs. Given a 1500
byte MTU, 1Mb is a good choice for sndbuf.
If it turns out that txqueuelen is actually much lower than this, then
sndbuf is essentially disabled. In the event that txqueuelen is much
higher, it's unlikely that the NIC will be able to empty a 1Mb queue.

2.6.30 adds a new TUNSETSNDBUF ioctl() which allows a send buffer limit
for the tap device to be specified. When this limit is reached, a tap
write() will return EAGAIN and poll() will indicate the fd isn't
writable.
This allows people to tune their setups so as to avoid e.g. UDP packet
loss when the sending application in the guest out-runs the NIC in the
host.
There is no obviously sensible default setting - a suitable value
depends mostly on the capabilities of the physical NIC through which the
packets are being sent.
Also, note that when using a bridge with netfilter enabled, we currently
never get EAGAIN because netfilter causes the packet to be immediately
orphaned. Set /proc/sys/net/bridge/bridge nf-call-iptables to zero to

Create a new -smbios option (x86-only) to allow binary SMBIOS entries
to be passed through to the BIOS or modify the default values of
individual fields of type 0 and 1 entries on the command line.
Binary SMBIOS entries can be generated as follows:
dmidecode -t 1 -u | grep $'^\t\t[^"]' | xargs -n1 | \
perl -lne 'printf "%c", hex($_)' > smbios_type_1.bin
These can then be passed to the BIOS using this switch:
-smbios file=smbios_type_1.bin
Command line generation supports the following syntax:
-smbios type=0[,vendor=str][,version=str][,date=str][,release=%d.%d]
-smbios type=1[,manufacturer=str][,product=str][,version=str][,serial=str]
[,uuid=$(uuidgen)][,sku=str][,family=str]
For instance, to add a serial number to the type 1 table:
-smbios type=1,serial=0123456789
Interface is extensible to support more fields/tables as needed.

This replaces a compile time option for some targets and adds
this feature to targets which did not have a compile time option.

Introduce a more canonical gdbstub configuration (system emulation only)
via the new switch '-gdb dev'. Keep '-s' as shorthand for
'-gdb tcp::1234'. Use the same syntax also for the corresponding monitor
command 'gdbserver'. Its default remains to listen on TCP port 1234.
Changes in v4:
- Rebased over new command line switches meta file
Changes in v3:
- Fix documentation
Changes in v2:
- Support for pipe-based like to gdb (target remote | qemu -gdb stdio)
- Properly update the qemu-doc

On Windows default screen width for the command prompt (A.K.A. "DOS
window") is 80 chars. `-icount' help is 87 chars wide. So make it fit.

Try to keep documentation about command line switches, -help text and
qemu_options table synchronized.
In true Qemu tradition, an include file is generated from single .hx file
containing all relevant information in one place. The include file is
parsed once for getting the enums, another time for getopt tables and
hird time for help messages. Texi documentation for the options is
generated from the same .hx file.
