When running with trace backend e.g. "simple" the writer thread needs to be
implemented in the same process context as the trace points that will be
processed. Under libvirtd control, qemu gets first started in daemonized
mode to privide its capabilities. Creating the writer thread in the initial
process context then leads to a dead lock because the thread gets termined
together with the initial parent. (-daemonize)

If a request calls wait_serialising_requests() and actually has to wait
in this function (i.e. a coroutine yield), other requests can run and
previously read data (like the head or tail buffer) could become
outdated. In this case, we would have to restart from the beginning to
read in the updated data.
However, we're lucky and don't actually need to do that: A request can
only wait in the first call of wait_serialising_requests() because we
mark it as serialising before that call, so any later requests would
wait. So as we don't wait in practice, we don't have to reload the data.
This is an important assumption that may not be broken or data
corruption will happen. Document it with some assertions.

We can only have a single wait_serialising_requests() call per request
because otherwise we can run into deadlocks where requests are waiting
for each other. The same is true when wait_serialising_requests() is not
at the very beginning of a request, so that other requests can be issued
between the start of the tracking and wait_serialising_requests().
Fix this by changing wait_serialising_requests() to ignore requests that
are already (directly or indirectly) waiting for the calling request.

bs->buffer_alignment is set by the device emulation and contains the
logical block size of the guest device. This isn't something that the
block layer should know, and even less something to use for determining
the right alignment of buffers to be used for the host.
The new BlockLimits field opt_mem_alignment tells the qemu block layer
the optimal alignment to be used so that no bounce buffer must be used
in the driver.
This patch may change the buffer alignment from 4k to 512 for all
callers that used qemu_blockalign() with the top-level image format
BlockDriverState. The value was never propagated to other levels in the
tree, so in particular raw-posix never required anything else than 512.
While on disks with 4k sectors direct I/O requires a 4k alignment,
memory may still be okay when aligned to 512 byte boundaries. This is
what must have happened in practice, because otherwise this would
already have failed earlier. Therefore I don't expect regressions even
with this intermediate state. Later, raw-posix can implement the hook
and expose a different memory alignment requirement.

libcurl versions 7.16.0 and later have a timer callback interface which
must be implemented in order for libcurl to make forward progress (it
will sometimes rely on being called back on the timeout if there are
no file descriptors registered). Implement the callback, and use a
QEMU AIO timer to ensure we prod libcurl again when it asks us to.
Based on Peter's original patch plus my fix to add curl_multi_timeout_do.
Should compile just fine even on older versions of libcurl.
I also tried copy-on-read and streaming:
$ ./qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o \
backing_file=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/20/Live/x86_64/Fedora-Live-Desktop-x86_64-20-1.iso \

-drive if=none,file=foo.qcow2,copy-on-read=on,id=cd \
-device ide-cd,drive=cd --enable-kvm -m 1024
Direct http usage is probably too slow, but with copy-on-read ultimately
the image does boot!
After some time, streaming gets canceled by an EIO, which needs further
investigation.

There was two candidate ways to implement named node manipulation:
1)

'*node-name': 'str', 'password': 'str'}
}
2)
{ 'command': 'block_passwd', 'data': {'device': 'str',
'*device-is-node': 'bool',
'password': 'str'} }
Luiz proposed 1 and says 2 was an abuse of the QMP interface and proposed to
rewrite the QMP block interface for 2.0.
Luiz does not like in 1 the fact that 2 fields are optional but one of them must
be specified leading to an abuse of the QMP semantic.
Kevin argumented that 2 what a clear abuse of the device field and would not be
practical when reading fast some log file because the user would read "device"
and think that a device is manipulated when it's in fact a node name.
Documentation of 1 make it pretty clear what to do for the user.
Kevin argued that all bs are node including devices ones so 2 does not make
sense.
Kevin also argued that rewriting the QMP block interface would not make disapear
the current one.
Kevin pushed the argument that making the QAPI generator compatible with the
semantic of the operation would need a rewrite that no one has done yet.
A vote has been done on the list to elect the version to use and 1 won.
