We want to do (at least) two things to the virtio-balloon device:
suppress it, and control its PCI address. Option -no-virtio-balloon
lets us do only the former. To get the latter, replace
-no-virtio-balloon with
-balloon none disable balloon device
-balloon virtio[,addr=str]
enable virtio balloon device (default)

This patch implements support for Multiboot on x86 for -kernel.
Multiboot is a "new" approach to get rid of different bootloaders, providing
a unified interface for the kernel. It supports command line options and
kernel modules.
The two probably best known projects using multiboot are Xen and GNU Hurd.
This implementation should be mostly feature-complete. It is missing VBE
extensions, but as no system uses them currently it does not really hurt.
To use multiboot, specify the kernel as -kernel option. Modules should be given
as -initrd options, seperated by a comma (,). -append also works.
Please bear in mind that grub also does gzip decompression, which qemu does
not do yet. To run existing images, please ungzip them first.
The guest multiboot loader code is implemented as option rom using int 19.
Parts of the work are based on efforts by Rene Rebe, who originally ported
my code to int 19.

The code how it is today, is totally painful to read and keep.
To begin with, the code is duplicated with the option rom loading
code that linux_boot and vga are already using.
This patch introduces a "bootable" state in NICInfo structure,
that we can use to keep track of whether or not a given nic should
be bootable, avoiding the introduction of yet another global state.
With that in hands, we move the code in vl.c to hw/pc.c, and use
the already existing infra structure to load those option roms.

(patch is on top of "Apic creation should not depend on pci" series)
Currently cpu_index is used as cpu apic id on x86. This is incorrect
since apic ids not have to be continuous (they can also encode cpu
hierarchy information). This patch uses cpuid_apic_id for initial apic id
value. For now cpuid_apic_id is set to be equal to cpu_index so behaviour
is fully backward compatible, but it allows us to add qemu option to
provide other values for cpu apic id.

Add the parameter 'order' to qemu_register_reset and sort callbacks on
registration. On system reset, callbacks with lower order will be
invoked before those with higher order. Update all existing users to the
standard order 0.
Note: At least for x86, the existing users seem to assume that handlers
are called in their registration order. Therefore, the patch preserves
this property. If someone feels bored, (s)he could try to identify this
dependency and express it properly on callback registration.

Signed-off-by: Paul Brook <paul@codesourcery.com>
Failure to initialize the audio subsystem is not handled consistently.
Where it is handled it has guest visible effects, which is wrong.
We already have a "nosound" audio driver as a last resort, so trying to
proceed without an audio backend seems pointless.
Also protect against multiple calls to AUD_init so that this can be
pushed down into individual devices.

The linux loader is just an option rom like any other, just with
some special requirements. Right now, our option rom resetting
mechanism is not being applied to it. As a result, users using

option roms can modify themselves, or can for instance restore the real

Create a new -smbios option (x86-only) to allow binary SMBIOS entries
to be passed through to the BIOS or modify the default values of
individual fields of type 0 and 1 entries on the command line.
Binary SMBIOS entries can be generated as follows:
dmidecode -t 1 -u | grep $'^\t\t[^"]' | xargs -n1 | \
perl -lne 'printf "%c", hex($_)' > smbios_type_1.bin
These can then be passed to the BIOS using this switch:
-smbios file=smbios_type_1.bin
Command line generation supports the following syntax:
-smbios type=0[,vendor=str][,version=str][,date=str][,release=%d.%d]
-smbios type=1[,manufacturer=str][,product=str][,version=str][,serial=str]
[,uuid=$(uuidgen)][,sku=str][,family=str]
For instance, to add a serial number to the type 1 table:
-smbios type=1,serial=0123456789
Interface is extensible to support more fields/tables as needed.

Those guys are not different in nature. They're all roms,
not blessed with the graces of being written to. So there's
not need to issue multiple requests to memory registration areas:
just treat them as brothers, and put them all in the same
region.
It also has the nice side effect of improving the loading code
a little bit. Besides some of the ugliness going away, we're now
avoiding phys_ram_base dependencies in option rom code.

This patch increases by 50 % the size available for option roms.
The main motivator is that some roms grew bigger than the 64k we
currently allocate for them (Hey, it's 2009!)
One example is the gpxe project, that produces some roms with 69k,
70k, etc. The space proposed by this patch actually makes it as
big as 84k. Probably still a fit for some time.
But there is no free lunch. This space must come from somewhere,
and we take it from vga rom space. Currently, our vga roms are
around 35k in size. With this patch, option rom space will begin
just after vga ends, aligned to the next 2k boundary.
Technicaly, we could do the same with the uper space (the bios itself),
but since bochs bios is already 128 k in size, I don't see an
urgent need to do it.

Refactor the monitor API and prepare it for decoupled terminals:
term_print functions are renamed to monitor_* and all monitor services
gain a new parameter (mon) that will once refer to the monitor instance
the output is supposed to appear on. However, the argument remains
unused for now. All monitor command callbacks are also extended by a mon
parameter so that command handlers are able to pass an appropriate
reference to monitor output services.
For the case that monitor outputs so far happen without clearly
identifiable context, the global variable cur_mon is introduced that
shall once provide a pointer either to the current active monitor (while
processing commands) or to the default one. On the mid or long term,
those use case will be obsoleted so that this variable can be removed
again.
Due to the broad usage of the monitor interface, this patch mostly deals
with converting users of the monitor API. A few of them are already
extended to pass 'mon' from the command handler further down to internal
functions that invoke monitor_printf.
At this chance, monitor-related prototypes are moved from console.h to
a new monitor.h. The same is done for the readline API.
