This transport allows to connect a QEMU nic to a static Ethernet
over L2TPv3 tunnel. The transport supports all options present
in the Linux kernel implementation. It allows QEMU to connect
to any Linux host running kernel 3.3+, most routers and network
devices as well as other QEMU instances.

In order to let event defines use existing types later, instead of
redefine new ones, some old type defines for spice and vnc are changed,
and BlockErrorAction is moved from block.h to qapi schema. Note that
BlockErrorAction is not merged with BlockdevOnError.
At this point, VncInfo is not made a child of VncBasicInfo, because
VncBasicInfo has mandatory fields where VncInfo makes them optional.

... it will be used to abstract generic ACPI bits from
device that implements ACPI interface.
ACPIOSTInfo type is used for passing-through raw _OST
event/status codes reported by guest OS to a management
layer. It lets management tools interpret values
as specified by ACPI spec if it is interested in it.
QEMU doesn't encode these values as enum, since it
doesn't need to handle them and it allows interface
to scale well without any changes in QEMU while guest
OS and management evolves in time.

The supplied chardev id will be inspected for supported options. Only
a socket backend, with a set path (i.e. a Unix socket) and optionally
the server parameter set, will be allowed. Other options (nowait, telnet)
will make the chardev unusable and the netdev will not be initialised.
Additional checks for validity:
- requires `-numa node,memdev=..`
- requires `-device virtio-net-*`
The `vhostforce` option is used to force vhost-net when we deal with
non-MSIX guests.

this patch tries to optimize zero write requests
by automatically using bdrv_write_zeroes if it is
supported by the format.
This significantly speeds up file system initialization and
should speed zero write test used to test backend storage
performance.

50G QCOW2 container and on an attached iSCSI storage.
a) mkfs.ext4 -E lazy_itable_init=0,lazy_journal_init=0 /dev/vdX

Stefan Fritsch just fixed a virtio-net driver bug [1], virtio-net won't
filter out VLAN-tagged packets if VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_VLAN isn't negotiated.
This patch added a new field to @RxFilterInfo to indicate vlan receive
state ('normal', 'none', 'all'). If VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_VLAN isn't
negotiated, vlan receive state will be 'all', then all VLAN-tagged packets
will be received by guest.
This patch also fixed a boundary issue in visiting vlan table.

Define input event types, using qapi. So we get nicely autogenerated
types for our input events. And when it comes to qmp support some day
things will be a lot easier.
Types are modeled after the linux input layer. There are separate
event types for each value. There is a sync to indicate the end
of a event group.
Mouse events are split into motion events (one for each axis) and
button events, which are grouped by sync.
Keyboard events are using the existing KeyValue type.

Make monitor command 'dump-guest-memory' be able to dump in kdump-compressed
format. The command's usage:
dump [-p] protocol [begin] [length] [format]
'format' is used to specified the format of vmcore and can be:
1. 'elf': ELF format, without compression
2. 'kdump-zlib': kdump-compressed format, with zlib-compressed
3. 'kdump-lzo': kdump-compressed format, with lzo-compressed
4. 'kdump-snappy': kdump-compressed format, with snappy-compressed
Without 'format' being set, it is same as 'elf'. And if non-elf format is
specified, paging and filter is not allowed.
Note:
1. The kdump-compressed format is readable only with the crash utility and
makedumpfile, and it can be smaller than the ELF format because of the
compression support.
2. The kdump-compressed format is the 6th edition.

This patch adds native support for accessing images on NFS
shares without the requirement to actually mount the entire
NFS share on the host.
NFS Images can simply be specified by an url of the form:
nfs://<host>/<export>/<filename>[?param=value[¶m2=value2[&...]]]
For example:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 nfs://10.0.0.1/qemu-images/test.qcow2
You need LibNFS from Ronnie Sahlberg available at:
git://github.com/sahlberg/libnfs.git
for this to work.
During configure it is automatically probed for libnfs and support
is enabled on-the-fly. You can forbid or enforce libnfs support
with --disable-libnfs or --enable-libnfs respectively.
Due to NFS restrictions you might need to execute your binaries
as root, allow them to open priviledged ports (<1024) or specify
insecure option on the NFS server.
For additional information on ROOT vs. non-ROOT operation and URL
format + parameters see:
https://raw.github.com/sahlberg/libnfs/master/README
Supported by qemu are the uid, gid and tcp-syncnt URL parameters.
LibNFS currently support NFS version 3 only.

This updates the documentation for commiting snapshot images.
Specifically, this highlights what happens when the base image
is either smaller or larger than the snapshot image being committed.
In the case of the base image being smaller, it is resized to the
larger size of the snapshot image. In the case of the base image
being larger, it is not resized automatically, but once the commit
has completed it is safe for the user to truncate the base image.

There was two candidate ways to implement named node manipulation:
1)
{ 'command': 'block_passwd', 'data': {'*device': 'str',
'*node-name': 'str', 'password': 'str'}
}
2)
{ 'command': 'block_passwd', 'data': {'device': 'str',
'*device-is-node': 'bool',
'password': 'str'} }
Luiz proposed 1 and says 2 was an abuse of the QMP interface and proposed to
rewrite the QMP block interface for 2.0.
Luiz does not like in 1 the fact that 2 fields are optional but one of them must
be specified leading to an abuse of the QMP semantic.
Kevin argumented that 2 what a clear abuse of the device field and would not be
practical when reading fast some log file because the user would read "device"
and think that a device is manipulated when it's in fact a node name.
Documentation of 1 make it pretty clear what to do for the user.
Kevin argued that all bs are node including devices ones so 2 does not make
sense.
Kevin also argued that rewriting the QMP block interface would not make disapear
the current one.
Kevin pushed the argument that making the QAPI generator compatible with the
semantic of the operation would need a rewrite that no one has done yet.
A vote has been done on the list to elect the version to use and 1 won.
