Clean up the current mess about figuring out which flags to pass to the
driver. BDRV_O_FILE, BDRV_O_SNAPSHOT and BDRV_O_NO_BACKING are flags
only used by the block layer internally so filter them out directly.
Previously BDRV_O_NO_BACKING could accidentally be passed to the drivers,
but wasn't ever used.

This commit introduces the bdrv_mon_event() function, which
should be called by block subsystems (eg. IDE) when a I/O
error occurs, so that an QMP event is emitted.
The following information is currently provided in the event:
- device name
- operation (ie. "read" or "write")
- action taken (eg. "stop")
Event example:
{ "event": "BLOCK_IO_ERROR",
"data": { "device": "ide0-hd1",
"operation": "write",
"action": "stop" },
"timestamp": { "seconds": 1265044230, "microseconds": 450486 } }

We have code for a quite a few block formats. While I trust that all
of these formats are useful at least for some people in some
circumstances, some of them are of a kind that friends don't let
friends use in production.
This patch provides an optional block format whitelist, default off.
If a whitelist is configured with --block-drv-whitelist, QEMU proper
can use only whitelisted formats. Other programs, like qemu-img, are
not affected.
Drivers for formats off the whitelist still participate in format
probing, to ensure all programs probe exactly the same. Without that,
QEMU proper would be prone to treat images with a format off the
whitelist as raw when the image's format is probed.

This is a slightly revised patch for adding readonly flag to the -drive command.
Even though this patch is "stand-alone", it assumes a previous related patch (in Anthony staging tree), that passes
the readonly attribute of the drive to the guest OS, applied first.
This enables sharing same image between guests, with readonly access.
Implementaion mark the drive as read_only and changes the flags when actually opening the file.
The readonly attribute of a qcow also passed to it's base file.
For ide that cannot pass the readonly attribute to the guest OS, disallow the readonly flag.
Also, return error code from bdrv_truncate for readonly drive.

One performance problem of qcow2 during the initial image growth are
sequential writes that are not cluster aligned. In this case, when a first
requests requires to allocate a new cluster but writes only to the first
couple of sectors in that cluster, the rest of the cluster is zeroed - just
to be overwritten by the following second request that fills up the cluster.
Let's try to merge sequential write requests to the same cluster, so we can
avoid to write the zero padding to the disk in the first place.
As a nice side effect, also other formats take advantage of dealing with less
and larger requests.

Now that do have a nicer interface to work against we can add Linux native
AIO support. It's an extremly thing layer just setting up an iocb for
the io_submit system call in the submission path, and registering an
eventfd with the qemu poll handler to do complete the iocbs directly
from there.
This started out based on Anthony's earlier AIO patch, but after
estimated 42,000 rewrites and just as many build system changes
there's not much left of it.
To enable native kernel aio use the aio=native sub-command on the
drive command line. I have also added an option to qemu-io to
test the aio support without needing a guest.

Problem: It is impossible to feed filenames with the character colon because
qemu interprets such names as a protocol. For example filename scsi:0, is

This patch allows user to espace colon characters. For example the above
filename can now be expressed either as 'scsi\:0' or as file:scsi:0
anything following the "file:" tag is interpreted verbatin. However if "file:"
tag is omitted then any colon characters in the string must be escaped using
backslash.
Here are couple of examples:
scsi\:0\:abc is a local file scsi:0:abc
http\://myweb is a local file by name http://myweb
file:scsi:0:abc is a local file scsi:0:abc

this patch adds a buffer_alignment field to BlockDriverState and
implements a qemu_blockalign function that uses that field to allocate a
memory aligned buffer to be used by the block driver.
buffer_alignment is initialized to 512 but each block driver can set
a different value (at the moment none of them do).
This patch modifies ide.c, block-qcow.c, block-qcow2.c and block.c to
use qemu_blockalign instead of qemu_memalign.
There is only one place left that still uses qemu_memalign to allocate
buffers used by block drivers that is posix-aio-compat:handle_aiocb_rw
because it is not possible to get the BlockDriverState from that
function. However I think it is not important because posix-aio-compat
already deals with driver specific code so it is supposed to know its
own needs.
