The following sequence happens:
- the SeaBIOS virtio-blk driver does not support the WCE feature, which
causes QEMU to disable writeback caching
- the Linux virtio-blk driver resets the device, finds WCE is available
but writeback caching is disabled; tells block layer to not send cache
flush commands
- the Linux virtio-blk driver sets the DRIVER_OK bit, which causes
writeback caching to be re-enabled, but the Linux virtio-blk driver does
not know of this side effect and cache flushes remain disabled
The bug is at the third step. If the guest does know about CONFIG_WCE,
QEMU should ignore the WCE feature's state. The guest will control the
cache mode solely using configuration space. This change makes Linux
do flushes correctly, but Linux will keep SeaBIOS's writethrough mode.
Hence, whenever the guest is reset, the cache mode of the disk should
be reset to whatever was specified in the "-drive" option. With this
change, the Linux virtio-blk driver finds that writeback caching is
enabled, and tells the block layer to send cache flush commands
appropriately.

Using s->snapshots_size instead of snapshots_size for the metadata
overlap check in qcow2_write_snapshots leads to the detection of an
overlap with the main qcow2 image header when deleting the last
snapshot, since s->snapshots_size has not yet been updated and is
therefore non-zero. However, the offset returned by qcow2_alloc_clusters
will be zero since snapshots_size is zero. Therefore, an overlap is
detected albeit no such will occur.
This patch fixes this by replacing s->snapshots_size by snapshots_size
when calling qcow2_pre_write_overlap_check.

We can deduce the result from expire_time, by making it always -1 if
the timer is not in the active_timers list. We need to check against
negative times passed to timer_mod_ns; clamping them to zero is not
a problem because the only clock that has a zero value at VM startup
is QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL, and it is monotonic so it cannot be non-zero.
QEMU_CLOCK_HOST, instead, is not monotonic but it cannot go to negative
values unless the host time is seriously screwed up and points to

host_alarm_handler() is invoked from the signal processing thread
(currently the iothread). Previously we did processing in a real signal
handler with signalfd and therefore needed signal-safe timer code.
Today host_alarm_handler() just marks the alarm timer as expired/pending
and notifies the main loop using qemu_notify_event().
Therefore these outdated comments about signal safety can be dropped.

Old S390 KVM wants guest RAM mapped in a peculiar way. Commit 6b02494
implemented that.
When qemu_ram_remap() got added in commit cd19cfa, its code carefully
mimicked the allocation code: peculiar way if defined(TARGET_S390X) &&
defined(CONFIG_KVM), else normal way.
For new S390 KVM, we actually want the normal way. Commit fdec991
changed qemu_ram_alloc_from_ptr() accordingly, but forgot to update
qemu_ram_remap(). If qemu_ram_alloc_from_ptr() maps RAM the normal
way, but qemu_ram_remap() remaps it the peculiar way, remapping
changes protection and flags, which it shouldn't.
Fortunately, this can't happen, as we never remap on S390.
Replace the incorrect code with an assertion.

With -mem-path, qemu_ram_alloc_from_ptr() first tries to allocate
accordingly, but when it fails, it falls back to normal allocation.
The fall back allocation code used to be effectively identical to the
"-mem-path not given" code, until it started to diverge in commit
432d268. I believe the code still works, but clean it up anyway: drop
the special fall back allocation code, and fall back to the ordinary
"-mem-path not given" code instead.

The 'gthread' coroutine backend was written before the freelist (aka
pool) existed in qemu-coroutine.c.
This means that every thread is expected to exit when its coroutine
terminates. It is not possible to reuse threads from a pool.
This patch automatically disables the pool when 'gthread' is used. This
allows the 'gthread' backend to work again (for example,
tests/test-coroutine completes successfully instead of hanging).
I considered implementing thread reuse but I don't want quirks like CPU
affinity differences due to coroutine threads being recycled. The
'gthread' backend is a reference backend and it's therefore okay to skip
the pool optimization.
Note this patch also makes it easy to toggle the pool for benchmarking
purposes:
./configure --with-coroutine-backend=ucontext \
--disable-coroutine-pool

When opening/creating images, propagating errors instead of immediately
emitting them on occurrence results in errors generally being printed on
a single line rather than being split up into multiple ones. This in
turn requires adjustments to some test results.
Also, test 060 used a sed to filter out the test image directory and
format by removing everything from the affected line after a certain
keyword; this now also removes the error message itself, which can be
fixed by using _filter_testdir and _filter_imgfmt.
Finally, _make_test_img in common.rc did not filter out the test image
directory etc. from stderr. This has been fixed through a redirection of
stderr to stdout (which is already done in _check_test_img and
_img_info).
