e1b4382cbf doc: Fix indefinite article an -> a before nouns that begin with 'h'
Although the rule also allows 'an' for historical reasons,
'a' is more common because 'h' is pronounced.

it is now replaced by the official upper case 'QEMU'.

3804da9dbe qemu-doc: Fix executable name in examples
The executable name qemu was replaced some time ago by qemu-system-i386.
Fix all examples accordingly.

Some examples will only work with qemu-system-i386 or qemu-system-x86_64
for obvious reasons ("dos.img").

To keep things simple, I did not vary the executable name.
Place holders like qemu-system-TARGET were also only used once
in the enhanced description for QEMU launches using Wine.

0adb124659 Drop darwin-user
It's been orphaned, not compiling for a long time and despite Apple's
drop of their Rosetta ppc emulation technology with Mac OS X Lion no one
has stepped up to fix it.

Testing necessary changes wrt QOM'ification thus is impossible, so we
might as well remove it completely.

f9dadc9855 iSCSI: add configuration variables for iSCSI
This patch adds configuration variables for iSCSI to set
initiator-name to use when logging in to the target,
which type of header-digest to negotiate with the target
and username and password for CHAP authentication.

This allows specifying a initiator-name either from the command line
-iscsi initiator-name=iqn.2004-01.com.example:test
or from a configuration file included with -readconfig
    [iscsi]
      initiator-name = iqn.2004-01.com.example:test
      header-digest = CRC32C|CRC32C-NONE|NONE-CRC32C|NONE
      user = CHAP username
      password = CHAP password

If you use several different targets, you can also configure this on a per
target basis by using a group name:
    [iscsi "iqn.target.name"]
    ...

The configuration file can be read using -readconfig.
Example :
qemu-system-i386 -drive file=iscsi://127.0.0.1/iqn.ronnie.test/1
 -readconfig iscsi.conf

1d45f8b542 nbd: Introduce NBD named exports.
This patch allows to connect Qemu using NBD protocol to an nbd-server
using named exports.

For instance, if on the host "isoserver", in /etc/nbd-server/config, you have:

[generic]
[debian-500-ppc-netinst]
        exportname = /ISO/debian-500-powerpc-netinst.iso
[Fedora-10-ppc-netinst]
        exportname = /ISO/Fedora-10-ppc-netinst.iso

You can connect to it, using:

    qemu -cdrom nbd:isoserver:exportname=debian-500-ppc-netinst
    qemu -cdrom nbd:isoserver:exportname=Fedora-10-ppc-netinst

NOTE: you need at least nbd-server 2.9.18

6cbf4c8c64 RESEND: Inter-VM shared memory PCI device
resend for bug fix related to removal of irqfd

Support an inter-vm shared memory device that maps a shared-memory object as a
PCI device in the guest.  This patch also supports interrupts between guest by
communicating over a unix domain socket.  This patch applies to the qemu-kvm
repository.

    -device ivshmem,size=<size in format accepted by -m>[,shm=<shm name>]

Interrupts are supported between multiple VMs by using a shared memory server
by using a chardev socket.

    -device ivshmem,size=<size in format accepted by -m>[,shm=<shm name>]
           [,chardev=<id>][,msi=on][,ioeventfd=on][,vectors=n][,role=peer|master]
    -chardev socket,path=<path>,id=<id>

The shared memory server, sample programs and init scripts are in a git repo here:

e080e785f6 Documentation: Use UTF-8 encoding and fix one wrong encoding
At least for Linux distributions UTF-8 is now standard,
so the QEMU documentation should use this encoding, too.

Even if there was currently only a single special character
using ISO-8859-1, this might change in the future.

So the texinfo keywords @documentlanguage and
@documentencoding now document the language and the
encoding. The special character was changed to UTF-8
(it could also have been changed to an x, but the
original cross looks really nice if it is displayed
correctly).

These changes fix the html presentation at
http://www.qemu.org/qemu-doc.html#SEC65
(ARM System emulator).
