This patch introduces dynamic timer intervals: we slow down the refresh
rate when there in no much activity but we get back to a fast refresh
rate when the activity resume.
Please note that qemu_timer_expired is not an inline function any more
because I needed to call it from vnc.c however I don't think this change
should have any serious consequence.

First user of the new drive property. With this patch applied host
and guest config can be specified separately, like this:
-drive if=none,id=disk1,file=/path/to/disk.img
-device virtio-blk-pci,drive=disk1
You can set any property for virtio-blk-pci now. You can set the pci
address via addr=. You can switch the device into 0.10 compat mode
using class=0x0180. As this is per device you can have one 0.10 and one
0.11 virtio block device in a single virtual machine.
Old syntax continues to work. Internally it does the same as the two
lines above though. One side effect this has is a different
initialization order, which might result in a different pci address
being assigned by default.
Long term plan here is to have this working for all block devices, i.e.
once all scsi is properly qdev-ified you will be able to do something
like this:
-drive if=none,id=sda,file=/path/to/disk.img
-device lsi,id=lsi,addr=<pciaddr>
-device scsi-disk,drive=sda,bus=lsi.0,lun=<n>

Aliases can change targets in newer versions of qemu, so management tools

-S is not honored by qemu on incoming migration. If a domain is migrated
while paused, thus, it will start running on the remote machine; this
is wrong.
Given the trivial patch to fix this, it looks more like a thinko
than anything else, probably dating back to the qemu-kvm merge.
The interesting part is that the -S mechanism was in fact *used* when
migrating (setting autostart = 0) and the incoming migration code was
starting the VM at the end of the migration.
Since I was removing the vm_start from there, I also corrected a related
imprecision. The code was doing a vm_stop "just in case", but we can
be sure that the VM is not running---the vm_start call in vl.c has not
been reached yet. So the vm_stop is removed together with the vm_start.

During startup and after reset we have to synchronize user space to the
in-kernel KVM state. Namely, we need to transfer the VCPU registers when
they change due to VCPU as well as APIC reset.
This patch refactors the required hooks so that kvm_init_vcpu registers
its own per-VCPU reset handler and adds a cpu_synchronize_state to the
APIC reset. That way we no longer depend on the new reset order (and can
drop this disliked interface again) and we can even drop a KVM hook in
main().

So far a couple of slirp-related parameters were expressed via
stand-alone command line options. This it inconsistent and unintuitive.
Moreover, it prevents both dynamically reconfigured (host_net_add/
delete) and multi-instance slirp.
This patch refactors the configuration by turning -smb, -redir, -tftp
and -bootp as well as -net channel into options of "-net user". The old
stand-alone command line options are still processed, but no longer
advertised. This allows smooth migration of management applications to
to the new syntax and also the extension of that syntax later in this

The code how it is today, is totally painful to read and keep.
To begin with, the code is duplicated with the option rom loading
code that linux_boot and vga are already using.
This patch introduces a "bootable" state in NICInfo structure,
that we can use to keep track of whether or not a given nic should
be bootable, avoiding the introduction of yet another global state.
With that in hands, we move the code in vl.c to hw/pc.c, and use
the already existing infra structure to load those option roms.

Currently, we're entering migration's stage 3 when
a treshold of 10 pages remain to be transferred in the system.
This has hurt some users. However, any proposed threshold is
arbitrary by nature, and would only shift the annoyance.
The proposal of this patch is to define a max_downtime variable,
which represents the maximum downtime a migration user is willing
to suffer. Then, based on the bandwidth of last iteration, we
calculate how much data we can transfer in such a window of time.
Whenever we reach that value (or lower), we know is safe to enter
stage3.
This has largely improved the situation for me.
On localhost migrations, where one would expect things to go as
quickly as me running away from the duty of writting software for
windows, a kernel compile was enough to get the migration stuck.
It takes 20 ~ 30 iterations now.
