Introduce a growable flag that's set by bdrv_file_open(). Block devices should
never be growable, only files that are being used by block devices.
I went through Fabrice's early comments about the patch that was first applied.
While I disagree with that patch, I also disagree with Fabrice's suggestion.
There's no good reason to do the checks in the block drivers themselves. It
just increases the possibility that this bug could show up again. Since we're
calling bdrv_getlength() to determine the length, we're giving the block drivers
a chance to chime in and let us know what range is valid.
Basically, this patch makes the BlockDriver API guarantee that all requests are
within 0..bdrv_getlength() which to me seems like a Good Thing.
What do others think?

Generate an option rom instead of using a hijacked boot sector for kernel
booting. This just requires adding a small option ROM header and a few more
instructions to the boot sector to take over the int19 vector and run our
boot code.
A disk is no longer needed when using -kernel on x86.

Qemu 0.9.1 and earlier does not perform range checks for block device
read or write requests, which allows guest host users with root
privileges to access arbitrary memory and escape the virtual machine.
