Define input event types, using qapi. So we get nicely autogenerated
types for our input events. And when it comes to qmp support some day
things will be a lot easier.
Types are modeled after the linux input layer. There are separate
event types for each value. There is a sync to indicate the end
of a event group.
Mouse events are split into motion events (one for each axis) and
button events, which are grouped by sync.
Keyboard events are using the existing KeyValue type.

Make monitor command 'dump-guest-memory' be able to dump in kdump-compressed
format. The command's usage:
dump [-p] protocol [begin] [length] [format]
'format' is used to specified the format of vmcore and can be:
1. 'elf': ELF format, without compression
2. 'kdump-zlib': kdump-compressed format, with zlib-compressed
3. 'kdump-lzo': kdump-compressed format, with lzo-compressed
4. 'kdump-snappy': kdump-compressed format, with snappy-compressed
Without 'format' being set, it is same as 'elf'. And if non-elf format is
specified, paging and filter is not allowed.
Note:
1. The kdump-compressed format is readable only with the crash utility and
makedumpfile, and it can be smaller than the ELF format because of the
compression support.
2. The kdump-compressed format is the 6th edition.

This patch adds native support for accessing images on NFS
shares without the requirement to actually mount the entire
NFS share on the host.
NFS Images can simply be specified by an url of the form:
nfs://<host>/<export>/<filename>[?param=value[¶m2=value2[&...]]]
For example:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 nfs://10.0.0.1/qemu-images/test.qcow2
You need LibNFS from Ronnie Sahlberg available at:
git://github.com/sahlberg/libnfs.git
for this to work.
During configure it is automatically probed for libnfs and support
is enabled on-the-fly. You can forbid or enforce libnfs support
with --disable-libnfs or --enable-libnfs respectively.
Due to NFS restrictions you might need to execute your binaries
as root, allow them to open priviledged ports (<1024) or specify
insecure option on the NFS server.
For additional information on ROOT vs. non-ROOT operation and URL
format + parameters see:
https://raw.github.com/sahlberg/libnfs/master/README
Supported by qemu are the uid, gid and tcp-syncnt URL parameters.
LibNFS currently support NFS version 3 only.

Specifically, this highlights what happens when the base image
is either smaller or larger than the snapshot image being committed.
In the case of the base image being smaller, it is resized to the
larger size of the snapshot image. In the case of the base image
being larger, it is not resized automatically, but once the commit
has completed it is safe for the user to truncate the base image.

There was two candidate ways to implement named node manipulation:
1)
{ 'command': 'block_passwd', 'data': {'*device': 'str',
'*node-name': 'str', 'password': 'str'}
}
2)
{ 'command': 'block_passwd', 'data': {'device': 'str',
'*device-is-node': 'bool',
'password': 'str'} }
Luiz proposed 1 and says 2 was an abuse of the QMP interface and proposed to
rewrite the QMP block interface for 2.0.
Luiz does not like in 1 the fact that 2 fields are optional but one of them must
be specified leading to an abuse of the QMP semantic.
Kevin argumented that 2 what a clear abuse of the device field and would not be
practical when reading fast some log file because the user would read "device"
and think that a device is manipulated when it's in fact a node name.
Documentation of 1 make it pretty clear what to do for the user.
Kevin argued that all bs are node including devices ones so 2 does not make
sense.
Kevin also argued that rewriting the QMP block interface would not make disapear
the current one.
Kevin pushed the argument that making the QAPI generator compatible with the
semantic of the operation would need a rewrite that no one has done yet.
A vote has been done on the list to elect the version to use and 1 won.

This patch adds support for a network backend based on netmap.
netmap is a framework for high speed packet I/O. You can use it
to build extremely fast traffic generators, monitors, software
switches or network middleboxes. Its companion software switch
VALE lets you interconnect virtual machines.
netmap and VALE are implemented as a non-intrusive kernel module,
support NICs from multiple vendors, are part of standard FreeBSD
distributions and available in source format for Linux too.
To compile QEMU with netmap support, use the following configure
options:
./configure [...] --enable-netmap --extra-cflags=-I/path/to/netmap/sys
where "/path/to/netmap" contains the netmap source code, available at
http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/netmap/

This reverts commit 6a85e60cb9.
Commit 51767e7 "qemu-char: Add new char backend CirMemCharDriver"
introduced a memory ring buffer character device driver named
"memory". Commit 3949e59 "qemu-char: Saner naming of memchar stuff &
doc fixes" changed the driver name to "ringbuf", along with a whole
bunch of other names, with the following rationale:
Naming is a mess. The code calls the device driver
CirMemCharDriver, the public API calls it "memory", "memchardev",
or "memchar", and the special commands are named like
"memchar-FOO". "memory" is a particularly unfortunate choice,
because there's another character device driver called
MemoryDriver. Moreover, the device's distinctive property is that
it's a ring buffer, not that's in memory.
This is what we released in 1.4.0.
Unfortunately, the rename missed a critical instance of "memory": the
actual driver name. Thus, the new device could be used only by an
entirely undocumented name. The documented name did not work.
Bummer.
Commit 6a85e60 fixes this by changing the documentation to match the
code. It also changes some, but not all related occurences of
"ringbuf" to "memory". Left alone are identifiers in C code, HMP and
QMP commands. The latter are external interface, so they can't be
changed.
The result is an inconsistent mess. Moreover, "memory" is a rotten
name. The device's distinctive property is that it's a ring buffer,
not that's in memory. User's don't care whether it's in RAM, flash,
or carved into chocolate tablets by Oompa Loompas.
Revert the commit. Next commit will fix just the bug.
