773495364f rocker: Add support for phys name
Add ROCKER_TLV_CMD_PORT_SETTINGS_PHYS_NAME to port settings. This attribute
exports the port name to the guest OS allowing it to name interfaces with
sensible defaults.

Mostly done by Scott for phys_id support; adapted to phys_name by David.

81b2b81062 fw_cfg: insert fw_cfg file blobs via qemu cmdline
Allow user supplied files to be inserted into the fw_cfg
device before starting the guest. Since fw_cfg_add_file()
already disallows duplicate fw_cfg file names, qemu will
exit with an error message if the user supplies multiple
blobs with the same fw_cfg file name, or if a blob name
collides with a fw_cfg name programmatically added from
within the QEMU source code. A warning message will be
printed if the fw_cfg item name does not begin with the
prefix "opt/", which is recommended for external, user
provided blobs.

830d70db69 vhost-user: add multi queue support
Based on patch by Nikolay Nikolaev:
Vhost-user will implement the multi queue support in a similar way
to what vhost already has - a separate thread for each queue.
To enable the multi queue functionality - a new command line parameter
"queues" is introduced for the vhost-user netdev.

7f75a07d50 docs/qcow2: Limit refcount_order to [0, 6]
Specify the upper limit of refcount_order to be 6 (that is,
refcount_bits = 64). Any larger value does not make much sense when all
offsets, sizes, cluster counts etc. "only" have a width of 64 bit as
well, and very large values would be very difficult to support.
Therefore, just cap it at the largest reasonable value.

8e436ec1f3 docs: Make the recommendation for the backing file name position a requirement
The current version of the qcow2 specification recommends to save the backing
file name in the end of the first cluster. It follows that the backing file
name can be saved somewhere in the image, but the first cluster, which
contradicts the current QEMU implementation.

The patch makes the backing file name required to be placed after the header
extensions in the first image cluster.

3fd74b8407 vhost-user: fix regions provied with VHOST_USER_SET_MEM_TABLE message
Old code was affected by memory gaps which resulted in buffer pointers
pointing to address outside of the mapped regions.

Here we are introducing following changes:
 - new function qemu_get_ram_block_host_ptr() returns host pointer
   to the ram block, it is needed to calculate offset of specific
   region in the host memory
 - new field mmap_offset is added to the VhostUserMemoryRegion. It
   contains offset where specific region starts in the mapped memory.
   As there is stil no wider adoption of vhost-user agreement was made
   that we will not bump version number due to this change
 - other fileds in VhostUserMemoryRegion struct are not changed, as
   they are all needed for usermode app implementation
 - region data is not taken from ram_list.blocks anymore, instead we
   use region data which is alredy calculated for use in vhost-net
 - Now multiple regions can have same FD and user applicaton can call
   mmap() multiple times with the same FD but with different offset
   (user needs to take care for offset page alignment)

df9ffb726f vga: fix bochs alignment issue
The bochs dispi interface traditionally uses port 0x1ce as 16bit index
register and port 0x1cf as 16bit data register.  The later is unaligned,
and probably for that reason the the data register was moved to 0x1d0
for non-x86 archs.

This patch makes the data register available at 0x1d0 on x86 too.  The
old x86 location is kept for compatibility reasons, so both 0x1cf and
0x1d0 can be used as data register on x86.

c73e3771ea spapr: Add "memop" hypercall
This adds a qemu-specific hypervisor call to the pseries machine
which allows to do what amounts to memmove, memcpy and xor over
regions of physical memory such as the framebuffer.

This is the simplest way to get usable framebuffer speed from
SLOF since the framebuffer isn't mapped in the VRMA and so would
otherwise require an hcall per 8 bytes access.

The performance is still not great but usable, and can be improved
with a more complex implementation of the hcall itself if needed.

This also adds some documentation for the qemu-specific hypercalls
that we add to PAPR along with a new qemu,hypertas-functions property
that mirrors ibm,hypertas-functions and provides some discoverability
for the new calls.

Note: I chose note to advertise H_RTAS to the guest via that mechanism.
This is done on purpose, the guest uses the normal RTAS interfaces
provided by qemu (including SLOF) which internally calls H_RTAS.

We might in the future implement part (or even all) of RTAS inside the
guest like IBM's firmware does and replace H_RTAS with some finer grained
set of private hypercalls.

4fabffc112 Specification for qcow2 version 3
This updates the qcow2 specification to cover version 3. It contains the
following changes:

- Added compatible/incompatible/auto-clear feature bits plus an optional
  feature name table to allow useful error messages even if an older
  version doesn't know some feature at all.

- Configurable refcount width. If you don't want to use internal
  snapshots, make refcounts one bit and save cache space and I/O.

- Zero cluster flags. This allows discard even with a backing file that
  doesn't contain zeros. It is also useful for copy-on-read/image
  streaming, as you'll want to keep sparseness without accessing the
  remote image for an unallocated cluster all the time.

- Fixed internal snapshot metadata to use 64 bit VM state size. You
  can't save a snapshot of a VM with >= 4 GB RAM today.

- Extended internal snapshot metadata to contain the disk size, so that
  resizing images that have snapshots can be allowed in the future.

9290f364c1 acpi_piix4: Re-define PCI hotplug eject register read
The PCI hotplug eject register has always returned 0, so let's redefine
it as a hotplug feature register.  The existing model of using separate
up & down read-only registers and an eject via write to this register
becomes the base implementation.  As we make use of new interfaces we'll
set bits here to allow the BIOS and AML implementation to optimize for
the platform implementation.
