Because discard is now a host parameter, we can always fake it as enabled
in the guest. This is an extension of the current choice to ignore
"not supported" errors from the host when discard_granularity is set
to nonzero.
The default granularity is set to the logical block size or 4k, whichever
is largest, because cluster sizes below 4k are rarely used and 4K is a
typical block size for files.

This stuff doesn't belong to block layer, and was put there only
because a better home didn't exist then. Now it does.

Currently, it is split between hd_geometry_guess() and
pc_cmos_init_late(). Confusing. info qtree shows the result of the
former. Also confusing.
Fold the part done in pc_cmos_init_late() into hd_geometry_guess().

There are two producers of these hints: drive_init() on behalf of
-drive, and hd_geometry_guess().
The only consumer of the hint is hd_geometry_guess().
The callers of hd_geometry_guess() call it only when drive_init()
didn't set the hints. Therefore, drive_init()'s hints are never used.
Thus, hd_geometry_guess() only ever sees hints it produced itself in a
prior call. Only the first call computes something, subsequent calls
just repeat the first call's results. However, hd_geometry_guess() is
never called more than once: the device models don't, and the block
device is destroyed on unplug. Thus, dropping the repeat feature
doesn't break anything now.
If a block device wasn't destroyed on unplug and could be reused with
a new device, then repeating old results would be wrong. Thus,
dropping the repeat feature prevents future breakage.
This renders the hints unused. Purge them from the block layer.

Best to use the same type, to avoid unwanted truncation or sign
extension.
BlockConf can't use plain int for cyls, heads and secs, because
integer properties require an exact width.

hd_geometry_guess() picks geometry and translation. Callers can get
the geometry directly, via parameters, but for translation they need
to go through the block layer.
Add a parameter for translation, so it can optionally be gotten just
like geometry. In preparation of purging translation from the block
layer, which will happen later in this series.

Commit f3d54fc4 factored it out of hw/ide.c for reuse. Sensible,
except it was put into block.c. Device-specific functionality should
be kept in device code, not the block layer. Move it to
hw/hd-geometry.c, and make stylistic changes required to keep
checkpatch.pl happy.
