The reason for not actually canceling the I/O is because with
virtualization and lots of VM running, a guest fs may mistake a
overload of the host, as an IDE timeout. So rather than canceling the
I/O, it's safer to wait I/O completion and simulate that the I/O has
completed just before the io cancellation was requested by the
guest. This way if ntfs or an app writes data without checking for
-EIO retval, and it thinks the write has succeeded, it's less likely
to run into troubles. Similar issues for reads.
Furthermore because the DMA operation is splitted into many synchronous
aio_read/write if there's more than one entry in the SG table, without this
patch the DMA would be cancelled in the middle, something we've no idea if it
happens on real hardware too or not. Overall this seems a great risk for zero
gain.
This approach is sure safer than previous code given we can't pretend all guest
fs code out there to check for errors and reply the DMA if it was completed
partially, given a timeout would never materialize on a real harddisk unless
there are defective blocks (and defective blocks are practically only an issue
for reads never for writes in any recent hardware as writing to blocks is the
way to fix them) or the harddisk breaks as a whole.

It reintroduces
Revert "ide save/restore pio/atapi cmd transfer fields and io buffer"
but using subsections. Added bonus is the addition of ide_dummy_transfer_stop
to transfer_end_table, that was missing.

If migration takes place between write of the bmdma address register and
write of the command register (to initiate DMA), the destination will
not properly start the DMA op, hanging the guest:
ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen
ata1.00: cmd c8/00:16:41:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/e0 tag 0 dma 11264 in
res 40/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x4 (timeout)
ata1.00: status: { DRDY }
Fix by sending current transfer information in the migration data.
We need to update ide version to 4 for this to work. As we don't
have subsectios, we need to chain the update increase until
vmstate_ide_pci (quintela)

This patch splits cmd646 specific code from pci.c.
This patch splits piix4 specific code from pci.c.
And compile new piix.o and cmd646.o when they are needed.
The only change that is not code movemet is removal of cmd646 specific parts
in bmdma_readb/writeb for piix.

Like qdev_init(), but terminate program via hw_error() instead of
returning an error value.
Use it instead of qdev_init() where terminating the program on failure
is okay, either because it's during machine construction, or because
we know that failure can't happen.
Because relying in the latter is somewhat unclean, and the former is
not always obvious, it would be nice to go back to qdev_init() in the
not-so-obvious cases, only with proper error handling. I'm leaving
that for another day, because it involves making sure that error
values are properly checked by all callers.

With this patch applied ide drives (when attached to a pci adapter) can
be created via -device, like this:
-drive if=none,id=mydisk,file=/path/to/disk.img
-device ide-drive,drive=mydisk,bus=ide.0,unit=0
Note that creating a master on ide1 doesn't work that way. That is a
side effect of qemu creating a cdrom automagically even if you don't
ask for it.

8baf73adf6 (qdev/isa: convert fdc)
breaks MIPS Malta:
Tried to create isa device isa-fdc with no isa bus present
Fix this by creating an isa bus for piix4.
This change also requires some more qdev related changes
(similar changes were applied to pc.c) and allows
cleaning of piix3/piix4 code.
Thanks to Gerd Hoffmann for his hints.
