Releases of qemu-kvm will be interrupted at qemu 1.3.0.
Users should switch to plain qemu releases.
To avoid breaking scenarios which are setup with command line
options specific to qemu-kvm, port these switches from qemu-kvm
to qemu.git.
Port drive boot option. From the qemu-kvm original commit message:
We do not want to maintain this option forever. It will be removed after
a grace period of a few releases. So warn the user that this option has
no effect and will become invalid soon.

Error management is important for mirroring; otherwise, an error on the
target (even something as "innocent" as ENOSPC) requires to start again
with a full copy. Similar to on_read_error/on_write_error, two separate
knobs are provided for on_source_error (reads) and on_target_error (writes).
The default is 'report' for both.
The 'ignore' policy will leave the sector dirty, so that it will be
retried later. Thus, it will not cause corruption.

Even for jobs that need to be manually completed, management may want
to take care itself of the completion, not requiring the user to issue
a command to terminate the job. In this case we want to avoid that
they poll us continuously, waiting for completion to become available.
Thus, add a new event that signals the phase switch and the availability
of the block-job-complete command.

While streaming can be dropped as soon as it progressed through the whole
image, mirroring needs to be completed manually for two reasons: 1) so that
management knows exactly when the VM switches to the target; 2) because
for other use cases such as replication, we may leave the operation running
for the whole life of the virtual machine.
Add a new block job command that manually completes background operations.

This simplifies some code and error checking, and also fixes a bug.
bdrv_find_backing_image() should only be passed absolute filenames,
or filenames relative to the chain. In the QMP message handler for
block commit, when looking up the base do so from the determined top
image, so we know it is reachable from top.
Some of the error messages put out by block-commit have changed
slightly, which causes 2 tests cases for block-commit to fail.

The command for live block commit is added, which has the following
arguments:
device: the block device to perform the commit on (mandatory)
base: the base image to commit into; optional (if not specified,
it is the underlying original image)
top: the top image of the commit - all data from inside top down
to base will be committed into base (mandatory for now; see
note, below)
speed: maximum speed, in bytes/sec
Note: Eventually this command will support merging down the active layer,
but that code is not yet complete. If the active layer is passed
in as top, then an error will be returned. Once merging down the
active layer is supported, the 'top' argument may become optional,
and default to the active layer.

For command line options which permit '?' meaning 'please list the
permitted values', add support for 'help' as a synonym, by abstracting
the check out into a helper function.
This change means that in some cases where we were being lazy in
our string parsing, "?junk" will now be rejected as an invalid option
rather than being (undocumentedly) treated the same way as "?".
Update the documentation to use 'help' rather than '?', since '?'
is a shell metacharacter and thus prone to fail confusingly if there
is a single character filename in the current working directory and
the '?' has not been escaped. It's therefore better to steer users
towards 'help', though '?' is retained for backwards compatibility.
We do not, however, update the output of the system emulator's -help
(or any documentation autogenerated from the qemu-options.hx which
is the source of the -help text) because libvirt parses our -help
output and will break. At a later date when QEMU provides a better
interface so libvirt can avoid having to do this, we can update the
-help text too.

All current users (IDE, SCSI and virtio-blk) happen to share this 20
characters limit. Still, it should be left to device models. They
already enforce their limits. They have to, as the DriveInfo limit
only affects legacy -drive serial=..., not the qdev properties.
usb-storage, which doesn't limit serial number length, also uses
DriveInfo for -usbdevice. But that doesn't provide access to
DriveInfo serial.

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.

This commit converts qemu_opts_create() from qerror_report() to
error_set().
Currently, most calls to qemu_opts_create() can't fail, so most
callers don't need any changes.
The two cases where code checks for qemu_opts_create() erros are:
1. Initialization code in vl.c. All of them print their own
error messages directly to stderr, no need to pass the Error
object
2. The functions opts_parse(), qemu_opts_from_qdict() and
qemu_chr_parse_compat() make use of the error information and
they can be called from HMP or QMP. In this case, to allow for
incremental conversion, we propagate the error up using
qerror_report_err(), which keeps the QError semantics

The block job API uses -errno return values internally and we convert
these to Error in the QMP functions. This is ugly because the Error
should be created at the point where we still have all the relevant
information. More importantly, it is hard to add new error cases to
this case since we quickly run out of -errno values without losing
information.
Go ahead and use Error directly and don't convert later.

Monitor operations that manipulate image files must not execute while a
background job (like image streaming) is in progress. This prevents
corruptions from happening when two pieces of code are manipulating the
image file without knowledge of each other.
The monitor "commit" command raises QERR_DEVICE_IN_USE when
bdrv_commit() returns -EBUSY but "commit all" has no error handling.
This is easy to fix, although note that we do not deliver a detailed
error about which device was busy in the "commit all" case.

This is a QAPI/QMP only command to take a snapshot of a group of
devices. This is similar to the blockdev-snapshot-sync command, except
blockdev-group-snapshot-sync accepts a list devices, filenames, and
formats.
It is attempted to keep the snapshot of the group atomic; if the
creation or open of any of the new snapshots fails, then all of
the new snapshots are abandoned, and the name of the snapshot image
that failed is returned. The failure case should not interrupt
any operations.
Rather than use bdrv_close() along with a subsequent bdrv_open() to
perform the pivot, the original image is never closed and the new
image is placed 'in front' of the original image via manipulation
of the BlockDriverState fields. Thus, once the new snapshot image
has been successfully created, there are no more failure points
before pivoting to the new snapshot.
This allows the group of disks to remain consistent with each other,
even across snapshot failures.
