If virtio_net_flush_tx() is called with notification disabled, we can
race with the guest, processing packets at the same rate as they
get produced. The trouble is that this means we have no guaranteed
exit condition from the function and can spend minutes in there.
Currently flush_tx is only called with notification on, which seems
to limit us to one pass through the queue per call. An upcoming
patch changes this.
Also add an option to set this value on the command line as different
workloads may wish to use different values. We can't necessarily
support any random value, so this is a developer option: x-txburst=
Usage:
-device virtio-net-pci,x-txburst=64 # 64 packets per tx flush
One pass through the queue (256) seems to be a good default value
for this, balancing latency with throughput. We use a signed int
for x-txburst because 2^31 packets in a burst would take many, many
minutes to process and it allows us to easily return a negative
value value from virtio_net_flush_tx() to indicate a back-off
or error condition.

Add an option to make the TX mitigation timer adjustable as a device
option. The 150us hard coded default used currently is reasonable,
but may not be suitable for all workloads, this gives us a way to
adjust it using a single binary. We can't support any random option
though, so use the "x-" prefix to indicate this is a developer
option. Usage:
-device virtio-net-pci,x-txtimer=500000,... # .5ms timeout

KVM on PowerPC used to have completely broken interrupt logic. Usually,
interrupts work by having a PIC that pulls a line up/down, so the CPU knows
that an interrupt is active. This line stays active until some action is
done to the PIC to release the line.
On KVM for PPC, we just checked if there was an interrupt pending and pulled
a line in the kernel module. We never released it though, hoping that kernel
space would just declare an interrupt as released when injected - which is
wrong.
To fix this, we need to completely redesign the interrupt injection logic.
Whenever an interrupt line gets triggered, we need to notify kernel space
that the line is up. Whenever it gets released, we do the same. This way
we can assure that the interrupt state is always known to kernel space.
This fixes random stalls in KVM guests on PowerPC that were waiting for
an interrupt while everyone else thought they received it already.

It is possible that subpage mmio is registered over existing memory
page. When this happens "memory" will have real memory address and not
index into io_mem array so next access to the page will generate
segfault. It is uncommon to have some part of a page to be accessed as
memory and some as mmio, but qemu shouldn't crash even when guest does
stupid things. So lets just pretend that the rest of the page is
unassigned if guest configure part of the memory page as mmio.

On KVM for PPC we need to tell the guest which instructions to use when
doing a hypercall. The clean way to do this is to go through an ioctl
from userspace and passing it on to the guest using the device tree.
So let's do the qemu part here: read out the hypercall and pass it on
to the guest's fw_cfg so openBIOS can read it out and expose it again.

Old versions of the BOCHs VGA BIOS (cira 2003) made use of VBE
registers at 0xff80/81. In VBE API version 0xb0c2 these were
moved to 0x1ce/cf. Unfortunately, QEMU still registers handlers
for the old range. If a guest attempts to assign an I/O device
overlapping this region, QEMU exits with a hw_error. Windows
guests seem to like to assign I/O devices to the high end of
the address space, so it's pretty easy to hot add an rtl8139
to a Win2k8 guest and trigger the bug. I can't find any reason
to register these handlers, so let's remove the cruft.
