Non-shared storage migration of guests which are disk I/O intensive and
have fast local storage may actually never converge if the guest happens
to dirty the disk faster than it can be copied.
This patch introduces a new flag
'VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_SYNCHRONOUS_WRITES' which will instruct
hypervisors to synchronize local I/O writes with the writes to remote
storage used for migration so that the guest can't overwhelm the
migration. This comes at a cost of decreased local I/O performance for
guests which behave well on average.

In cases when the destination storage is slower than the normal VM
storage and the VM does intensive I/O to the disk a block copy job may
never converge.
Switching it to synchronous mode will ensure that all writes done by the

of the guest to the synchronous speed.

Issuing simple QMP commands is pain as they need to be wrapped by the
JSON wrapper:
{ "execute": "COMMAND" }
and optionally also:
{ "execute": "COMMAND", "arguments":...}
For simple commands without arguments we can add syntax sugar to virsh
which allows simple usage of QMP and additionally prepares also for
passing through of the 'arguments' section:
virsh qemu-monitor-command $VM query-status
is equivalent to
virsh qemu-monitor-command $VM '{"execute":"query-status"}'
and
virsh qemu-monitor-command $VM query-named-block-nodes '{"flat":true}'

This change introduces a new libvirt sub-element <pci> under
<features> that can be used to configure all pci related features.
Currently the only sub-sub element supported by this sub-element is
'acpi-bridge-hotplug' as shown below:
<features>
<pci>
<acpi-bridge-hotplug state='on|off'/>
</pci>
</features>
The above option is only available for the QEMU driver, for x86 guests
only. It is a global option, affecting all PCI bridge controllers on
the guest.
The 'acpi-bridge-hotplug' option enables or disables ACPI hotplug
support for cold-plugged pci bridges. Examples of bridges include the
PCI-PCI bridge (pci-bridge controller) for pc (i440fx) machinetypes,
or PCIe-PCI bridges and pcie-root-port controllers for q35
machinetypes.
For pc machinetypes in x86, this option has been available in QEMU
since version 2.1. Please see the following changes in qemu repo:
9e047b982452c6 ("piix4: add acpi pci hotplug support")
133a2da488062e ("pc: acpi: generate AML only for PCI0 devices if PCI
bridge hotplug is disabled")
For q35 machinetypes, this was introduced in QEMU 6.1 with the
following changes in qemu repo:
(a) c0e427d6eb5fef ("hw/acpi/ich9: Enable ACPI PCI hot-plug")
(b) 17858a16950860 ("hw/acpi/ich9: Set ACPI PCI hot-plug as default on
Q35")
The reasons for enabling ACPI based hotplug for PCIe (q35) based
machines (as opposed to native hotplug) are outlined in (b). There are
use cases where users would still want to use native
hotplug. Therefore, this config option enables users to choose either
ACPI based hotplug or native hotplug for bridges (for example for pcie
root port controller in q35 machines).
Qemu capability validation checks have also been added along with
related unit tests to exercise the new conf option.

This change introduces libvirt xml support to enable/disable hotplug on the
pci-root controller. It adds a 'target' subelement for the pci-root controller
with a 'hotplug' property. This property can be used to enable or disable
hotplug for the pci-root controller. For example, in order to disable hotplug
on the pci-root controller, one has to use set '<target hotplug='off'>' as
shown below:
<controller type='pci' model='pci-root'>
<target hotplug='off'/>
</controller>
'<target hotplug='on'>' option would enable hotplug for pci-root controller.
This is also the default value. This option is only available for pc machine
types and is applicable for qemu/kvm accelerator only.This feature was
introduced from qemu version 5.2 with the following change in qemu repository:
3d7e78aa7777f ("Introduce a new flag for i440fx to disable PCI hotplug on the root bus")
The above qemu commit describes some reasons why users might to disable hotplug
on PCI root buses.
