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.

Clarify this register as read-only and remove write code. No
change in existing behavior.

The write side of these registers is never used and actually can't be
used as defined because any read/modify/write sequence from the guest
potentially races with qemu. Drop the write support and define these
as read-only registers.

This adds a description of the qcow2 file format to the docs/ directory.
Besides documenting what's there, which is never wrong, the document should
provide a good basis for the discussion of format extensions (called "qcow3"
in previous discussions)

For some reason the carets ('^') in the QED specification disappeared.
This patch puts them back.
