Since linux commit: cf8fa920cb42 ("i386: handle an initrd in highmem (version 2)")
linux has supported initrd up to 4 GB, but the header field
ramdisk_max is still set to 2 GB to avoid "possible bootloader bugs".
When use '-kernel vmlinux -initrd initrd.cgz' to launch a VM,
the firmware(it could be linuxboot_dma.bin) helps to read initrd
contents into guest memory(below ramdisk_max) and jump to kernel.
that's similar with what bootloader does, like grub.
In addition, initrd_max is uint32_t simply because QEMU doesn't support
the 64-bit boot protocol (specifically the ext_ramdisk_image field).
Therefore here just limit initrd_max to UINT32_MAX simply as well to
allow initrd to be loaded below 4 GB.
NOTE: it's possible that linux protocol within [0x208, 0x20c]
supports up to 4 GB initrd as well.

uncompressed kernel using the x86/HVM direct boot ABI.
pvh.S contains the entry point of the option rom. It runs
in real mode, loads the e820 table querying the BIOS, and
then it switches to 32bit protected mode and jumps to the
pvh_load_kernel() written in pvh_main.c.
pvh_load_kernel() loads the cmdline and kernel entry_point
using fw_cfg, then it looks for RSDP, fills the

These changes (along with corresponding Linux kernel and qboot changes)

This commit adds a load_elfboot() routine to pass the size and
location of the kernel entry point to qboot (which will fill in
the start_info struct information needed to to boot the guest).
Having loaded the ELF binary, load_linux() will run qboot
which continues the boot.
The address for the kernel entry point is read from an ELF Note
in the uncompressed kernel binary by a helper routine passed
to load_elf().

This patch adds an optional function pointer, 'elf_note_fn', to
load_elf() which causes load_elf() to additionally parse any
ELF program headers of type PT_NOTE and check to see if the ELF
Note is of the type specified by the 'translate_opaque' arg.
If a matching ELF Note is found then the specfied function pointer
is called to process the ELF note.
Passing a NULL function pointer results in ELF Notes being skipped.
The first consumer of this functionality is the PVHboot support
which needs to read the XEN_ELFNOTE_PHYS32_ENTRY ELF Note while
loading the uncompressed kernel binary in order to discover the
boot entry address for the x86/HVM direct boot ABI.

On Linux (and maybe some BSDs), we require libutil for the openpty()
function. However, this library is not available on some other systems, so
we currently use a fragile if-statement in the configure script to check
whether we need the library or not. Unfortunately, we also hard-coded a
"-lutil" in the tests/Makefile.include file, so this breaks the build on
Solaris, for example (see buglink below). To fix the issue, add the "-lutil"
to "libs_tools" in the configure script instead, then this gets properly
propagated to the tests, too.
And while we're at it, also replace the fragile if-statement in the confi-
gure script with a proper link-check for the availability of this function.

The existing qemu-nbd --partition code claims to handle logical
partitions up to 8, since its introduction in 2008 (commit 7a5ca86).
However, the implementation is bogus (actual MBR logical partitions
form a sort of linked list, with one partition per extended table
entry, rather than four logical partitions in a single extended
table), making the code unlikely to work for anything beyond -P5 on
actual guest images. What's more, the code does not support GPT
partitions, which are becoming more popular, and maintaining device
subsetting in both NBD and the raw device is unnecessary duplication
of effort (even if it is not too difficult).
Note that obtaining the offsets of a partition (MBR or GPT) can be
learned by using 'qemu-nbd -c /dev/nbd0 file.qcow2 && sfdisk --dump
/dev/nbd0', but by the time you've done that, you might as well
just mount /dev/nbd0p1 that the kernel creates for you instead of
bothering with qemu exporting a subset. Or, keeping to just
user-space code, use nbdkit's partition filter, which has already
