To support live migration without shared storage we need to be able to trace
writes to disk while migrating. This Patch expose dirty block tracking per
device to be polled from upper layer.

Changes from v4:
- Register dirty tracking for each block device.
- Minor coding style issues.
- Block.c will now manage a dirty bitmap per device once
  bdrv_set_dirty_tracking() is called. Bitmap is polled by the upper
  layer (block-migration.c).

We have code for a quite a few block formats.  While I trust that all
of these formats are useful at least for some people in some
circumstances, some of them are of a kind that friends don't let
friends use in production.

This patch provides an optional block format whitelist, default off.
If a whitelist is configured with --block-drv-whitelist, QEMU proper
can use only whitelisted formats.  Other programs, like qemu-img, are
not affected.

Drivers for formats off the whitelist still participate in format
probing, to ensure all programs probe exactly the same.  Without that,
QEMU proper would be prone to treat images with a format off the
whitelist as raw when the image's format is probed.

This is a slightly revised patch for adding readonly flag to the -drive command.
Even though this patch is "stand-alone", it assumes a previous related patch (in Anthony staging tree), that passes
the readonly attribute of the drive to the guest OS, applied first.

This enables sharing same image between guests, with readonly access.
Implementaion mark the drive as read_only and changes the flags when actually opening the file.
The readonly attribute of a qcow also passed to it's base file.
For ide that cannot pass the readonly attribute to the guest OS, disallow the readonly flag.

Also, return error code from bdrv_truncate for readonly drive.

Add a enable_write_cache flag in the block driver state, and use it to
decide if we claim to have a volatile write cache that needs controlled
flushing from the guest.  The flag is off if cache=writethrough is
defined because O_DSYNC guarantees that every write goes to stable

One performance problem of qcow2 during the initial image growth are
sequential writes that are not cluster aligned. In this case, when a first
requests requires to allocate a new cluster but writes only to the first
couple of sectors in that cluster, the rest of the cluster is zeroed - just
to be overwritten by the following second request that fills up the cluster.

Let's try to merge sequential write requests to the same cluster, so we can
avoid to write the zero padding to the disk in the first place.

As a nice side effect, also other formats take advantage of dealing with less
and larger requests.

Now that do have a nicer interface to work against we can add Linux native
AIO support.  It's an extremly thing layer just setting up an iocb for
the io_submit system call in the submission path, and registering an
eventfd with the qemu poll handler to do complete the iocbs directly
from there.

This started out based on Anthony's earlier AIO patch, but after
estimated 42,000 rewrites and just as many build system changes
there's not much left of it.

To enable native kernel aio use the aio=native sub-command on the
drive command line.  I have also added an option to qemu-io to
test the aio support without needing a guest.

Problem: It is impossible to feed filenames with the character colon because
qemu interprets such names as a protocol. For example filename scsi:0, is
interpreted as a protocol by name "scsi".

This patch allows user to espace colon characters. For example the above
filename can now be expressed either as 'scsi\:0' or as file:scsi:0

anything following the "file:" tag is interpreted verbatin. However if "file:"
tag is omitted then any colon characters in the string must be escaped using
backslash.

Here are couple of examples:

scsi\:0\:abc is a local file scsi:0:abc
http\://myweb is a local file by name http://myweb

Okay, I started looking into how to handle scsi-generic I/O in the
new world order.

I think the best is to use the SG_IO ioctl instead of the read/write
interface as that allows us to support scsi passthrough on disk/cdrom
devices, too.  See Hannes patch on the kvm list from August for an
example.

Now that we always do ioctls we don't need another abstraction than
bdrv_ioctl for the synchronous requests for now, and for asynchronous
requests I've added a aio_ioctl abstraction keeping it simple.

Long-term we might want to move the ops to a higher-level abstraction
and let the low-level code fill out the request header, but I'm lazy
enough to leave that to the people trying to support scsi-passthrough
on a non-Linux OS.

Tested lightly by issuing various sg_ commands from sg3-utils in a guest
to a host CDROM device.

When a scsi device is backed by a scsi generic device instead of an
ordinary host block device, the block API is abused in a couple of annoying
ways:

 - nb_sectors is negative, and specifies a byte count instead of a sector count
 - offset is ignored, since scsi-generic is essentially a packet protocol

This overloading makes hacking the block layer difficult.  Remove it by
introducing a new explicit API for scsi-generic devices.  The new API
is still backed by the old implementation, but at least the users are
insulated.

Refactor the monitor API and prepare it for decoupled terminals:
term_print functions are renamed to monitor_* and all monitor services
gain a new parameter (mon) that will once refer to the monitor instance
the output is supposed to appear on. However, the argument remains
unused for now. All monitor command callbacks are also extended by a mon
parameter so that command handlers are able to pass an appropriate
reference to monitor output services.

For the case that monitor outputs so far happen without clearly
identifiable context, the global variable cur_mon is introduced that
shall once provide a pointer either to the current active monitor (while
processing commands) or to the default one. On the mid or long term,
those use case will be obsoleted so that this variable can be removed
again.

Due to the broad usage of the monitor interface, this patch mostly deals
with converting users of the monitor API. A few of them are already
extended to pass 'mon' from the command handler further down to internal
functions that invoke monitor_printf.

At this chance, monitor-related prototypes are moved from console.h to
a new monitor.h. The same is done for the readline API.

'num_free_bytes' is the number of non-allocated bytes below highest-allocation.
It's useful, together with the highest-allocation, to figure out how
fragmented the image is, and how likely it will run out-of-space soon.

For example when the highest allocation is high (almost end-of-disk), but 
many bytes (clusters) are free, and can be re-allocated when neeeded, than
we know it's probably not going to reach end-of-disk-space soon.

Most devices that are capable of DMA are also capable of scatter-gather.
With the memory mapping API, this means that the device code needs to be

For block devices, this translates to vectored I/O.  This patch implements
an aynchronous vectored interface for the qemu block devices.  At the moment

qcow2 writes a cluster reference count on every cluster update.  This causes
performance to crater when using anything but cache=writeback.  This is most
noticeable when using savevm.  Right now, qcow2 isn't a reliable format
regardless of the type of cache your using because metadata is not updated in
the correct order.  Considering this, I think it's somewhat reasonable to use
writeback caching by default with qcow2 files.

This patch refactors the AIO layer to allow multiple AIO implementations.  It's
only possible because of the recent signalfd() patch.  

Right now, the AIO infrastructure is pretty specific to the block raw backend.
For other block devices to implement AIO, the qemu_aio_wait function must
support registration.  This patch introduces a new function,
qemu_aio_set_fd_handler, which can be used to register a file descriptor to be
called back.  qemu_aio_wait() now polls a set of file descriptors registered
with this function until one becomes readable or writable.
