0f6d767aa8 docs: add dirty bit to qcow2 specification
The dirty bit will make it possible to perform lazy refcount updates,
where the image file is not kept consistent all the time.  Upon opening
a dirty image file, it is necessary to perform a consistency check and
repair any incorrect refcounts.

Therefore the dirty bit must be an incompatible feature bit.  We don't
want old programs accessing a file with stale refcounts.

0f58f68b58 usb: add usb attached scsi emulation
$subject says all.  First cut.

It's a pure UAS (usb attached scsi) emulation, without BOT (bulk-only
transport) compatibility.  If your guest can't handle it use usb-storage
instead.

The emulation works like any other scsi hba emulation (eps, lsi, virtio,
megasas, ...).  It provides just the HBA where you can attach scsi
devices as you like using '-device'.  A single scsi target with up to
256 luns is supported.

For now only usb 2.0 transport is supported.  This will change in the
future though as I plan to use this as playground when codeing up &
testing usb 3.0 transport and streams support in the qemu usb core and
the xhci emulation.

No migration support yet.  I'm planning to add usb 3.0 support first as
this probably requires saving additional state.

Special thanks go to Paolo for bringing the qemu scsi emulation into
shape, so this can be added nicely without having to touch a single line
of scsi code.

c73e3771ea spapr: Add "memop" hypercall
This adds a qemu-specific hypervisor call to the pseries machine
which allows to do what amounts to memmove, memcpy and xor over
regions of physical memory such as the framebuffer.

This is the simplest way to get usable framebuffer speed from
SLOF since the framebuffer isn't mapped in the VRMA and so would
otherwise require an hcall per 8 bytes access.

The performance is still not great but usable, and can be improved
with a more complex implementation of the hcall itself if needed.

This also adds some documentation for the qemu-specific hypercalls
that we add to PAPR along with a new qemu,hypertas-functions property
that mirrors ibm,hypertas-functions and provides some discoverability
for the new calls.

Note: I chose note to advertise H_RTAS to the guest via that mechanism.
This is done on purpose, the guest uses the normal RTAS interfaces
provided by qemu (including SLOF) which internally calls H_RTAS.

We might in the future implement part (or even all) of RTAS inside the
guest like IBM's firmware does and replace H_RTAS with some finer grained
set of private hypercalls.

4fabffc112 Specification for qcow2 version 3
This updates the qcow2 specification to cover version 3. It contains the
following changes:

- Added compatible/incompatible/auto-clear feature bits plus an optional
  feature name table to allow useful error messages even if an older
  version doesn't know some feature at all.

- Configurable refcount width. If you don't want to use internal
  snapshots, make refcounts one bit and save cache space and I/O.

- Zero cluster flags. This allows discard even with a backing file that
  doesn't contain zeros. It is also useful for copy-on-read/image
  streaming, as you'll want to keep sparseness without accessing the
  remote image for an unallocated cluster all the time.

- Fixed internal snapshot metadata to use 64 bit VM state size. You
  can't save a snapshot of a VM with >= 4 GB RAM today.

- Extended internal snapshot metadata to contain the disk size, so that
  resizing images that have snapshots can be allowed in the future.

9290f364c1 acpi_piix4: Re-define PCI hotplug eject register read
The PCI hotplug eject register has always returned 0, so let's redefine
it as a hotplug feature register.  The existing model of using separate
up & down read-only registers and an eject via write to this register
becomes the base implementation.  As we make use of new interfaces we'll
set bits here to allow the BIOS and AML implementation to optimize for
the platform implementation.

3a86a0fa76 qapi: untangle next_list
Right now, the semantics of next_list are complicated.  The caller must:

* call start_list

* call next_list for each element *including the first*

* on the first call to next_list, the second argument should point to
NULL and the result is the head of the list.  On subsequent calls,
the second argument should point to the last node (last result of
next_list) and next_list itself tacks the element at the tail of the
list.

This works for both input and output visitor, but having the visitor
write memory when it is only reading the list is ugly.  Plus, relying
on *list to detect the first call is tricky and undocumented.

We can initialize so->entry in next_list instead of start_list, leaving
it NULL in start_list.  This way next_list sees clearly whether it is
on the first call---as a bonus, it discriminates the cases based on
internal state of the visitor rather than external state.  We can
also pull the assignment of the list head from generated code up to
next_list.

This lets the user conditionally compile code with a relatively high execution

Note that events using this define will probably have the "disable" property by
default, in order to avoid such costs on regular builds.

913540a376 trace: allow PRI*64 at beginning and ending of format string
The tracetool parser only picks up PRI*64 and other format string macros
when enclosed between double quoted strings.  Lift this restriction by
extracting everything after the closing ')' as the format string:

  cpu_set_apic_base(uint64_t val) "%016"PRIx64
                                  ^^        ^^

One trick here: it turns out that backslashes in the format string like
"\n" were being interpreted by echo(1).  Fix this by using the POSIX
printf(1) command instead.  Although it normally does not make sense to
include backslashes in trace event format strings, an injected newline
causes tracetool to emit a broken header file and I want to eliminate
cases where broken output is emitted, even if the input was bad.
