Add three new qdev properties to export block topology information to
the guest. This is needed to get optimal I/O alignment for RAID arrays
or SSDs.
The options are:
- physical_block_size to specify the physical block size of the device,
this is going to increase from 512 bytes to 4096 kilobytes for many
modern storage devices
- min_io_size to specify the minimal I/O size without performance impact,
this is typically set to the RAID chunk size for arrays.
- opt_io_size to specify the optimal sustained I/O size, this is
typically the RAID stripe width for arrays.
I decided to not auto-probe these values from blkid which might easily
be possible as I don't know how to deal with these issues on migration.
Note that we specificly only set the physical_block_size, and not the
logial one which is the unit all I/O is described in. The reason for
that is that IDE does not support increasing the logical block size and
at last for now I want to stick to one meachnisms in queue and allow
for easy switching of transports for a given backing image which would
not be possible if scsi and virtio use real 4k sectors, while ide only
uses the physical block exponent.
To make this more common for the different block drivers introduce a
new BlockConf structure holding all common block properties and a
DEFINE_BLOCK_PROPERTIES macro to add them all together, mirroring
what is done for network drivers. Also switch over all block drivers
to use it, except for the floppy driver which has weird driveA/driveB
properties and probably won't require any advanced block options ever.
Example usage for a virtio device with 4k physical block size and
8k optimal I/O size:
-drive file=scratch.img,media=disk,cache=none,id=scratch \
-device virtio-blk-pci,drive=scratch,physical_block_size=4096,opt_io_size=8192

Device names with whitespace require quoting in the shell and in the
monitor. Some of the offenders are also overly long. Some have a
more convenient alias, some don't.
The place for verbose device names is DeviceInfo member desc. The
name should be short & sweet.

Using the qdev name for the product description makes for inconvenient
qdev names.
Put the product description in new USBDeviceInfo member product_desc.
Make usb_qdev_init() use it. No user or guest visible change, since
the value is still the same.

Changes:
* drive_uninit() wants a DriveInfo now.
* drive_uninit() also calls bdrv_delete(),
so callers don't need to do that.
* drive_uninit() calls are moved over to the ->exit()
callbacks, destroy_bdrvs() is zapped.
* setting bdrv->private is not needed any more as the
only user (destroy_bdrvs) is gone.
* usb-storage needs no drive_uninit, scsi-disk will
handle that.

Hook into DeviceInfo->exit().
handle_destroy() must not free the state struct, this is handled
by the new usb_qdev_exit() function now.
qdev_free(usb_device) works now.
Fix usb hub to qdev_free() all connected devices on unplug.
Unplugging a usb hub works now.

Full coverage with properties and everything. You can add virtual usb
sticks this way now:
-drive if=none,id=pendrive,path=/some/where
-device usb-storage,drive=pendrive
-usbdevice disk:/path/to/image continues to work.
Other side effects:
usb storage is listed in 'info block' now.
kvm tree should be able to boot from usb via extboot (untested though).

Currently, waiting for the user to type in some password blocks the
whole VM because monitor_readline starts its own I/O loop. And this loop
also screws up reading passwords from virtual console.
Patch below fixes the shortcomings by using normal I/O processing also
for waiting on a password. To keep to modal property for the monitor
terminal, the command handler is temporarily replaced by a password
handler and a callback infrastructure is established to process the
result before switching back to command mode.

Reading the passwords for encrypted hard disks during early startup is
broken (I guess for quiet a while now):
- No monitor terminal is ready for input at this point
- Forcing all mux'ed terminals into monitor mode can confuse other
users of that channels
To overcome these issues and to lay the ground for a clean decoupling of
monitor terminals, this patch changes the initial password inquiry as
follows:
- Prevent autostart if there is some encrypted disk
- Once the user tries to resume the VM, prompt for all missing
passwords
- Only resume if all passwords were accepted
