QEMU has a policy of keeping a stable guest device ABI. When new guest device
features are introduced they must not change hardware info seen by existing
guests. This is important because operating systems or applications may
"fingerprint" the hardware and refuse to run when the hardware changes. To
always get the latest guest device ABI, run with x86 machine type "pc".
This patch hides the new VIRTIO_BLK_F_CONFIG_WCE virtio feature bit from
existing machine types. Only pc-1.2 and later will expose this feature
by default.
For more info on the VIRTIO_BLK_F_CONFIG_WCE feature bit, see:

VIRTIO_BLK_F_SCSI is supposed to mean whether the host can *parse*
SCSI requests, not *execute* them. You could run QEMU with scsi=on
and a file-backed disk, and QEMU would fail all SCSI requests even
though it advertises VIRTIO_BLK_F_SCSI.
Because we need to do this to fix a migration compatibility problem
related to how QEMU is invoked by management, we must do this
unconditionally even on older machine types. This more or less assumes
that no one ever invoked QEMU with scsi=off.
Here is how testing goes:
- old QEMU, scsi=on -> new QEMU, scsi=on
- new QEMU, scsi=on -> old QEMU, scsi=on
- old QEMU, scsi=off -> new QEMU, scsi=on
- new QEMU, scsi=off -> old QEMU, scsi=on
ok (new QEMU has VIRTIO_BLK_F_SCSI, adding host features is fine)
- old QEMU, scsi=off -> new QEMU, scsi=off
ok (new QEMU has VIRTIO_BLK_F_SCSI, adding host features is fine)
- old QEMU, scsi=on -> new QEMU, scsi=off
ok, bug fixed
- new QEMU, scsi=on -> old QEMU, scsi=off
doesn't work (same as: old QEMU, scsi=on -> old QEMU, scsi=off)
- new QEMU, scsi=off -> old QEMU, scsi=off

to avoid warnings from scripts/checkpatch.pl.
Manual changes were also applied to hw/pc.c.
I did not fix indentation with tabs in block/vvfat.c.

This patch adds the final missing bits for support of
passing a serial/id string to a virtio-blk guest driver.
The guest-side component already exists in the virtio
driver, and has recently been reworked by Ryan to export
a /sys interface for retrieval of the id from guest userland.

Add a logical block size attribute as various guest side tools only
increase the filesystem sector size based on it, not the advisory
physical block size.
For scsi we already have support for a different logical block size
in place for CDROMs that we can built upon. Only my recent block
device characteristics VPD page needs some fixups. Note that we
leave the logial block size for CDROMs hardcoded as the 2k value
is expected for it in general.
For virtio-blk we already have a feature flag claiming to support
a variable logical block size that was added for the s390 kuli
hypervisor. Interestingly it does not actually change the units
in which the protocol works, which is still fixed at 512 bytes,
but only communicates a different minimum I/O granularity. So
all we need to do in virtio is to add a trap for unaligned I/O
and round down the device size to the next multiple of the logical
block size.
IDE does not support any other logical block size than 512 bytes.

Add feature bits as properties to virtio. This makes it possible to e.g. define
machine without indirect buffer support, which is required for 0.10
compatibility, or without hardware checksum support, which is required for 0.11
compatibility. Since default values for optional features are now set by qdev,
get_features callback has been modified: it sets non-optional bits, and clears
bits not supported by host.

This patch implements the missing qemu logic to
interpret a '-drive .. serial=XYZ ..' flag for
a virtio_blk device.
The serial number string is contained in a
skeletal IDENTIFY DEVICE data structure and
this structure is made available to the guest
virtio_blk driver via pci i/o region 0.

Add support for SG_IO passthru (packet commands) to the virtio-blk
backend. Conceptually based on an older patch from Hannes Reinecke
but largely rewritten to match the code structure and layering in
virtio-blk.
Note that currently we issue the hose SG_IO synchronously. We could
easily switch to async I/O, but that would required either bloating
the VirtIOBlockReq by the size of struct sg_io_hdr or an additional
memory allocation for each SG_IO request.

Virtio-blk is a paravirtual block device based on VirtIO. It can be used by
specifying the if=virtio parameter to the -drive parameter.
When using -enable-kvm, it can achieve very good performance compared to IDE or
SCSI.
