Unfortunately some older versions of makeinfo don't correctly
handle the -D command line option and fail to set the variable.
This then causes them to complain

Work around this by doing as the autotools do, and writing
the information into a version.texi file which we then

More precisely, the "x-file-slots" count is bumped for all machine types
that:
(a) use fw_cfg, and
(b) are not versioned (hence migration is not expected to work for them
across QEMU releases anyway), or have version 2.9.
This affects machine types implemented in the following source files:
- "hw/arm/virt.c". The "virt-*" machine type is versioned, and the <= 2.8
versions already depend on HW_COMPAT_2_8 (see commit e353aac51b).
Therefore adding the "x-file-slots" compat values to HW_COMPAT_2_8
suffices.
- "hw/i386/pc.c". The "pc-i440fx-*" (including "pc-*") and "pc-q35-*"
machine types are versioned. Modifying HW_COMPAT_2_8 is sufficient here
too (see commit "pc: Add 2.9 machine-types"). The "isapc" machtype is
not versioned. The "xenfv" machine type, which uses fw_cfg for direct
kernel booting, is also not versioned.
- "hw/ppc/mac_newworld.c". The "mac99" machine type is not versioned.
- "hw/ppc/mac_oldworld.c". The "g3beige" machine type is not versioned.
- "hw/sparc/sun4m.c". None of the 9 machine types defined in this file
appear versioned.
- "hw/sparc64/sun4u.c". None of the 3 machine types defined in this file
appear versioned.

We'd like to raise the value of FW_CFG_FILE_SLOTS. Doing it naively could
lead to problems with backward migration: a more recent QEMU (running an
older machine type) would allow the guest, in fw_cfg_select(), to select a
high key value that is unavailable in the same machine type implemented by
the older (target) QEMU. On the target host, fw_cfg_data_read() for
example could dereference nonexistent entries.
As first step, size the FWCfgState.entries[*] and FWCfgState.entry_order
arrays dynamically. All three array sizes will be influenced by the new
field FWCfgState.file_slots (and matching device property).
Make the following changes:
- Replace the FW_CFG_FILE_SLOTS macro with FW_CFG_FILE_SLOTS_MIN (minimum
count of fw_cfg file slots) in the header file. The value remains 0x10.
- Replace all uses of FW_CFG_FILE_SLOTS with a helper function called
fw_cfg_file_slots(), returning the new property.
- Eliminate the macro FW_CFG_MAX_ENTRY, and replace all its uses with a
helper function called fw_cfg_max_entry().
- In the MMIO- and IO-mapped realize functions both, allocate all three
arrays dynamically, based on the new property.
- The new property defaults to FW_CFG_FILE_SLOTS_MIN. This is going to be
customized in the following patches.

Useful to send guest data back to QEMU.
Changes from Laszlo Ersek <lersek@redhat.com>:
- rebase the patch from Michael Tsirkin's original postings at [1] and [2]
to the following patches:
- loader: Allow a custom AddressSpace when loading ROMs
- loader: Add AddressSpace loading support to uImages
- loader: fix handling of custom address spaces when adding ROM blobs
- reject such writes immediately that would exceed the end of the array,
rather than performing a partial write before setting the error bit: see
the (len != dma.length) condition
- document the write interface

A QemuLockCnt comprises a counter and a mutex, with primitives
to increment and decrement the counter, and to take and release the
mutex. It can be used to do lock-free visits to a data structure
whenever mutexes would be too heavy-weight and the critical section
is too long for RCU.
This could be implemented simply by protecting the counter with the
mutex, but QemuLockCnt is harder to misuse and more efficient.

As the name suggests, the qapi2texi script converts JSON QAPI
description into a texi file suitable for different target
formats (info/man/txt/pdf/html...).
It parses the following kind of blocks:
Free-form:
##
# = Section
# == Subsection
#
# Some text foo with *emphasis*
# 1. with a list
# 2. like that
#
# And some code:
# | $ echo foo
# | -> do this
# | <- get that
#
##
Symbol description:
##
# @symbol:
#
# Symbol body ditto ergo sum. Foo bar
# baz ding.
#
# @param1: the frob to frobnicate
# @param2: #optional how hard to frobnicate
#
# Returns: the frobnicated frob.
# If frob isn't frobnicatable, GenericError.
#
# Since: version
# Notes: notes, comments can have
# - itemized list
# - like this
#
# Example:
#
# -> { "execute": "quit" }
# <- { "return": {} }
#
##
That's roughly following the following EBNF grammar:
api_comment = "##\n" comment "##\n"
comment = freeform_comment | symbol_comment
freeform_comment = { "# " text "\n" | "#\n" }
symbol_comment = "# @" name ":\n" { member | tag_section | freeform_comment }
member = "# @" name ':' [ text ] "\n" freeform_comment
tag_section = "# " ( "Returns:", "Since:", "Note:", "Notes:", "Example:", "Examples:" ) [ text ] "\n" freeform_comment
text = free text with markup
Note that the grammar is ambiguous: a line "# @foo:\n" can be parsed
both as freeform_comment and as symbol_comment. The actual parser
recognizes symbol_comment.
See docs/qapi-code-gen.txt for more details.
Deficiencies and limitations:
- the generated QMP documentation includes internal types
- union type support is lacking
- type information is lacking in generated documentation
- doc comment error message positions are imprecise, they point
to the beginning of the comment.
- a few minor issues, all marked TODO/FIXME in the code
