1fd31ad763 Fix the build for non-x86/ppc targets
Since pci.c creates network devices, anything that links against pci.c
(everything) has to link against all network devices.  Since virtio-net 
also requires virtio, we might as well link every target against all of 
the virtio devices.

This suggests that the pci.c network device creation function needs some 
refactoring.

16b29ae180 Add HPET emulation to qemu (Beth Kon)
This patch adds HPET emulation.  It can be disabled with -disable-hpet.  An hpet
provides a more finely granular clocksource than otherwise available on PC.
This means that latency-dependent applications (e.g. multimedia) will generally
be smoother when using the HPET.

2c9fade200 target-ppc: IBM PowerPC 440EP Bamboo reference board emulation
Since most IO devices are integrated into the 440EP chip, "Bamboo support"
mostly entails implementing the -kernel, -initrd, and -append options.

These options are implemented by loading the guest as if u-boot had done it,
i.e. loading a flat device tree, updating it to hold initrd addresses, ram
size, and command line, and passing the FDT address in r3.

Since we use it with KVM, we enable the virtio block driver and include hooks
necessary for KVM support.

75dd595b2e target-ppc: PowerPC 440EP SoC emulation
Wire up the system-on-chip devices present on 440EP chips.

This patch is a little unusual in that qemu doesn't actually emulate the 440
core, but we use this board code with KVM (which does). If/when 440 core
emulation is supported, the kvm_enabled() hack can be removed.

f652e6af11 Implement device tree support needed for Bamboo emulation
To implement the -kernel, -initrd, and -append options, 4xx board emulation
must load the guest kernel as if firmware had loaded it. Where u-boot would be
the firmware, we must load the flat device tree into memory and set key fields
such as /chosen/bootargs.

This patch introduces a dependency on libfdt for flat device tree support.

3c529d9359 Replace posix-aio with custom thread pool
glibc implements posix-aio as a thread pool and imposes a number of limitations.

1) it limits one request per-file descriptor.  we hack around this by dup()'ing
file descriptors which is hideously ugly

2) it's impossible to add new interfaces and we need a vectored read/write
operation to properly support a zero-copy API.

What has been suggested to me by glibc folks, is to implement whatever new
interfaces we want and then it can eventually be proposed for standardization.
This requires that we implement our own posix-aio implementation though.

This patch implements posix-aio using pthreads.  It immediately eliminates the
need for fd pooling.

It performs at least as well as the current posix-aio code (in some
circumstances, even better).

065e281356 Reintroduce migrate-to-exec: support (Charles Duffy)
KVM's live migration support included support for exec: URLs, allowing system
state to be written or received via an arbitrary popen()ed subprocess. This
provides a convenient way to pipe state through a compression algorithm or an
arbitrary network transport on its way to its destination, and a convenient way
to write state to disk; libvirt's qemu driver currently uses migration to exec:
targets for this latter purpose.

This version of the patch refactors now-common code from migrate-tcp.c into
migrate.c.

7ba1e61953 Add KVM support to QEMU
This patch adds very basic KVM support.  KVM is a kernel module for Linux that
allows userspace programs to make use of hardware virtualization support.  It
current supports x86 hardware virtualization using Intel VT-x or AMD-V.  It
also supports IA64 VT-i, PPC 440, and S390.

This patch only implements the bare minimum support to get a guest booting.  It
has very little impact the rest of QEMU and attempts to integrate nicely with
the rest of QEMU.

Even though this implementation is basic, it is significantly faster than TCG.
Booting and shutting down a Linux guest:

w/TCG:  1:32.36 elapsed  84% CPU

w/KVM:  0:31.14 elapsed  59% CPU

Right now, KVM is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled with
 -enable-kvm.  We can enable it by default later when we have had better
testing.

39b65c2e31 Introduce a buffered file wrapper for QEMUFile
This patch introduces a buffered QEMUFile wrapper.  This allows QEMUFile's to be
rate limited.  It also makes it easier to implement a QEMUFile that is
asynchronous since the current QEMUFile API requires that all reads and writes
be synchronous.

The only real non-obvious part of the API is the "frozen" concept.  If the
backend returns EAGAIN, the QEMUFile is said to be "frozen".  This means no
additional output will be sent to the backend until the file is unfrozen.
qemu_file_put_notify can be used to unfreeze a frozen file.

A synchronous interface is also provided to wait for an unfreeze event.  This is
used during the final part of live migration when the VM is no longer running.

9e472e101f Fix IO performance regression in sparc
Replace signalfd with signal handler/pipe.  There is no way to interrupt
the CPU execution loop when a file descriptor becomes readable.  This
results in a large performance regression in sparc emulation during
bootup.
   
This patch switches us to signal handler/pipe which was originally
suggested by Ian Jackson.  The signal handler lets us interrupt the
CPU emulation loop while the write to a pipe lets us avoid the
select/signal race condition.

fb599c9a03 Implement a HCI passthrough to host.
This allows using a host's physical HCI as one of the HCIs attached
to the virtual machine.  This brings various limitations because not
all commands/events are passed through by Linux kernel, some are
interpreted by the host's kernel for a speed gain.

a76bab4952 Refactor AIO to allow multiple AIO implementations
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.

This patch should allow the implementation of alternative AIO backends (via a
thread pool or linux-aio) and AIO backends in non-traditional block devices
(like NBD).

a3392f9b10 Only build compatfd when using AIO and make sure to always init AIO
OpenBSD doesn't use AIO so don't try to build compatfd when not using AIO.

Also make sure to call qemu_aio_init() from bdrv_init.  Everything that uses
bdrv calls bdrv_init so it makes sense to init aio from there instead of
in every single tool.

baf35cb902 Use signalfd() to work around signal/select race
This patch introduces signalfd() to work around the signal/select race in
checking for AIO completions.  For platforms that don't support signalfd(), we
emulate it with threads.

There was a long discussion about this approach.  I don't believe there are any
fundamental problems with this approach and I believe eliminating the use of
signals is a good thing.

I've tested Windows and Linux using Windows and Linux guests.  I've also checked
for disk IO performance regressions.
