Enabling the I/O thread by default seems like an important part of declaring
1.0. Besides allowing true SMP support with KVM, the I/O thread means that the
TCG VCPU doesn't have to multiplex itself with the I/O dispatch routines which
currently requires a (racey) signal based alarm system.
I know there have been concerns about performance. I think so far the ones that
have come up (virtio-net) are most likely due to secondary reasons like
decreased batching.
I think we ought to force enabling I/O thread early in 1.0 development and
commit to resolving any lingering issues.

This allows GSources to be used to register callback events in QEMU. This is
useful as it allows us to take greater advantage of glib and also because it
allows us to write code that is more easily testable outside of QEMU since we
can make use of glib's main loop in unit tests.
All new code should use glib's callback mechanisms for registering fd events
which are very well documented at:
http://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-The-Main-Event-Loop.html

The "-trace events" argument can be used to provide a file with a list of trace
event names that will be enabled prior to starting execution, thus providing
early tracing.
This saves the user from manually toggling event states through the monitor
interface or whichever backend-specific interface.

If we call select without a timeout, it's more efficient to keep the
global mutex locked as we may otherwise just play ping pong with a
vcpu thread contending for it. This is particularly important for TCG
mode where we run in lock-step with the vcpu thread.

Added options to let qemu transfer two configuration files to bios:
"bootsplash.bmp" and "etc/boot-menu-wait", which could be specified by command
-boot splash=P,splash-time=T
P is jpg/bmp file name or an absolute path, T have a max value of 0xffff, unit
is ms. With these two options, if user invoke qemu with menu=on option, then
a splash picture would be showed in a given time. For example:
qemu -boot menu=on,splash=/root/boot.bmp,splash-time=5000
would make boot.bmp shown as a brand with 5 seconds in the booting up process.
This feature need the new seabios's support, which could be got from git.

Daniel P. Berrange sent a libvirt's patch to support
reboots with the QEMU driver. He implements it in
json model like this:
1. add -no-shutdown in the qemu's option:
qemu -no-shutdown xxxx
2. shutdown the vm by monitor command system_powerdown
3. wait for shutdown event
4. reset the vm by monitor command system_reset
no_shutdown will be reset to 0 if the vm is powered down.
We only can reboot the vm once.
If no_shutdown is not reset to 0, we can reboot the vm
many times.

BeOS and Haiku on i386 use long for 32-bit types, including pid_t.
Using %d with pid_t therefore results in a warning.
Unfortunately POSIX:2008 does not define a PRId* string for pid_t.
In some places pid_t was previously casted to long and %ld hardcoded.
The predecessor of this patch added another upcast for the simpletrace
filename but was not applied to date.
Since new uses of pid_t with %d keep creeping in, let's instead define
an OS-dependent format string and use that consistently.

This option gives the ability to switch one "accelerator" like kvm, xen

separate them by a colon. QEMU will try each one and use the first whose
works.
So,
./qemu -machine accel=xen:kvm:tcg
which would try Xen support first, then KVM and finally TCG if none of
the other works.
By default, QEMU will use TCG. But we can specify another default in the
global configuration file.

This fixes the problem when qemu continues even if -drive specification
is somehow invalid, resulting in a mess. Applicable for both current
master and for stable-0.14 (and the same issue exist 0.13 and 0.12 too).
The prob can actually be seriuos: when you start guest with two drives
and make an error in the specification of one of them, and the guest
has something like a raid array on the two drives, guest may start failing
that array or kick "missing" drives which may result in a mess - this is
what actually happened to me, I did't want a resync at all, and a resync
resulted in re-writing (and allocating) a 4TB virtual drive I used for
testing, which in turn resulted in my filesystem filling up and whole
thing failing badly. Yes it was just testing VM, I experimented with
larger raid arrays, but the end result was quite, well, unexpected.
