This is for querying how many queues the backend supports if it has mq
support(when VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ flag is set from the quried
protocol features).
vhost_net_get_max_queues() is the interface to export that value, and
to tell if the backend supports # of queues user requested, which is
done in the following patch.

Parse ibm,architecture.vec table obtained from the guest and enable
memory node configuration via ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory if guest
supports it. This is in preparation to support memory hotplug for
sPAPR guests.
This changes the way memory node configuration is done. Currently all
memory nodes are built upfront. But after this patch, only memory@0 node
for RMA is built upfront. Guest kernel boots with just that and rest of
the memory nodes (via memory@XXX or ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory)
are built when guest does ibm,client-architecture-support call.
Note: This patch needs a SLOF enhancement which is already part of
SLOF binary in QEMU.

For pkts copied to the CPU (to be processed by guest driver), mark the Rx
descriptor with flag "OFFLOAD_FWD" to indicate device has already forwarded
pkt. The guest driver will use this indicator to avoid duplicate
forwarding in the guest OS.
Examples include bcast/mcast/unknown ucast pkts flooded to bridged ports.
We want to avoid both the device and the guest bridge driver flooding these
pkts, which would result in duplicates pkts on the wire. Packet sampling,
such as sFlow, can also use this technique to mark pkts for the guest OS to
record but otherwise drop.

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)

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.

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.
