FW CFG's primary user is QEMU, which uses it to expose configuration
information (in the widest sense) to Firmware. Thus the name FW CFG.
FW CFG can also be used by others for their own purposes. QEMU is
merely acting as transport then. Names starting with opt/ are
reserved for such uses. There is no provision, however, to guide safe
sharing among different such users.
Fix that, loosely following QMP precedence: names should start with
opt/RFQDN/, where RFQDN is a reverse fully qualified domain name you
control.
Based on a more ambitious patch from Michael Tsirkin.

Move documentation for fw_cfg functions internal to qemufrom
docs/specs/fw_cfg.txt to the fw_cfg.h header file, next to
their prototype declarations, formatted as doc-comments.
NOTE: Documentation for fw_cfg_add_callback() is completely
dropped by this patch, as that function has been eliminated
by commit 023e3148.

Document the behavior of fw_cfg_modify_iXX() for leak-less updating
of integer-type blobs.
Currently only fw_cfg_modify_i16() is coded, but 32- and 64-bit versions
may be added later if necessary..

Allow user supplied files to be inserted into the fw_cfg
device before starting the guest. Since fw_cfg_add_file()
already disallows duplicate fw_cfg file names, qemu will
exit with an error message if the user supplies multiple
blobs with the same fw_cfg file name, or if a blob name
collides with a fw_cfg name programmatically added from
within the QEMU source code. A warning message will be
printed if the fw_cfg item name does not begin with the
prefix "opt/", which is recommended for external, user
provided blobs.
