One performance problem of qcow2 during the initial image growth are
sequential writes that are not cluster aligned. In this case, when a first
requests requires to allocate a new cluster but writes only to the first
couple of sectors in that cluster, the rest of the cluster is zeroed - just
to be overwritten by the following second request that fills up the cluster.
Let's try to merge sequential write requests to the same cluster, so we can
avoid to write the zero padding to the disk in the first place.
As a nice side effect, also other formats take advantage of dealing with less
and larger requests.

Lot of ISA devices work at fixed addresses, so having iobase

PCI device entries have to have a default version, not 2, because they are
used in the midle of other structures that can have _any_ version number.
We can't use proper versioning here until we have SubSections support.
Why we didn't noticed before? Because in a PC, the only device ported with
a version less that 2 is piix_pm, and for that one, default pci values are
right. If you use a virtio-console, you will see that its state it is not
loaded back.

The RTC emulation does not set the IRQ flags independent of the IRQ enable bits.
The original MC146818A datasheet from 1984 notes:
"flag bits in Register C [...] are set independent of the
state of the corresponding enable bits in Register B"
Similar sections can be found in newer documentation e.g. in rtc82885.
Qemu and Bochs set the IRQ flags only if they are enabled,
which breaks drivers polling on them.
The following patch corrects this for the update-ended-flag in Qemu only.
It does not fix the handling of the other flags.

qemu-kvm: fix segfault when running kvm without /dev/kvm, falling back
to non-accelerated mode
We're seeing segfaults on systems without access to /dev/kvm. It
looks like the global kvm_allowed is being set just a little too late
in vl.c. This patch moves the kvm initialization a bit higher in the
vl.c main, just after options processing, and solves the segfaults.
We're carrying this patch in Ubuntu 9.10 Alpha. Please apply
upstream, or advise if and why this might not be the optimal solution.

When two AIO requests write to the same cluster, and this cluster is
unallocated, currently both requests allocate a new cluster and the second one
merges the first one when it is completed. This means an cluster allocation, a
read and a cluster deallocation which cause some overhead. If we simply let the
second request wait until the first one is done, we improve overall performance
with AIO requests (specifially, qcow2/virtio combinations).
This patch maintains a list of in-flight requests that have allocated new
clusters. A second request touching the same cluster is limited so that it
either doesn't touch the allocation of the first request (so it can have a
non-overlapping allocation) or it waits for the first request to complete.

The wrong version of the preallocation patch has been applied, so this is the
remaining diff.
We can't use truncate to grow the image file to the right size because we don't
know if metadata has been written after the last data cluster. In this case
truncate would shrink the file and destroy its metadata. Write a zero sector at
the end of the virtual disk instead to ensure that the file is big enough.
