3e866365e1 vhost user: add rarp sending after live migration for legacy guest
A new vhost user message is added to allow QEMU to ask to vhost user backend to
broadcast a fake RARP after live migration for guest without GUEST_ANNOUNCE
capability.

This new message is sent only if the backend supports the new
VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_RARP protocol feature.
The payload of this new message is the MAC address of the guest (not known by
the backend). The MAC address is copied in the first 6 bytes of a u64 to avoid
to create a new payload message type.

This new message has no equivalent ioctl so a new callback is added in the
userOps structure to send the request.

Upon reception of this new message the vhost user backend must generate and
broadcast a fake RARP request to notify the migration is terminated.

b931bfbf04 vhost-user: add multiple queue support
This patch is initially based a patch from Nikolay Nikolaev.

This patch adds vhost-user multiple queue support, by creating a nc
and vhost_net pair for each queue.

Qemu exits if find that the backend can't support the number of requested
queues (by providing queues=# option). The max number is queried by a
new message, VHOST_USER_GET_QUEUE_NUM, and is sent only when protocol
feature VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ is present first.

The max queue check is done at vhost-user initiation stage. We initiate
one queue first, which, in the meantime, also gets the max_queues the
backend supports.

In older version, it was reported that some messages are sent more times
than necessary. Here we came an agreement with Michael that we could
categorize vhost user messages to 2 types: non-vring specific messages,
which should be sent only once, and vring specific messages, which should
be sent per queue.

Here I introduced a helper function vhost_user_one_time_request(), which
lists following messages as non-vring specific messages:

        VHOST_USER_SET_OWNER
        VHOST_USER_RESET_DEVICE
        VHOST_USER_SET_MEM_TABLE
        VHOST_USER_GET_QUEUE_NUM

For above messages, we simply ignore them when they are not sent the first
time.

e2051e9e00 vhost-user: add VHOST_USER_GET_QUEUE_NUM message
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

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.

03d196b7c5 spapr: Support ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory
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.

d0d2555852 rocker: mark copy-to-cpu pkts as forwarding offloaded
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.

3fd74b8407 vhost-user: fix regions provied with VHOST_USER_SET_MEM_TABLE message
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)

df9ffb726f vga: fix bochs alignment issue
The bochs dispi interface traditionally uses port 0x1ce as 16bit index
register and port 0x1cf as 16bit data register.  The later is unaligned,
and probably for that reason the the data register was moved to 0x1d0
for non-x86 archs.

This patch makes the data register available at 0x1d0 on x86 too.  The
old x86 location is kept for compatibility reasons, so both 0x1cf and
0x1d0 can be used as data register on x86.

c73e3771ea spapr: Add "memop" hypercall
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.

4fabffc112 Specification for qcow2 version 3
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.
