This patch introduces the
<maxphysaddr mode='passthrough'/>
<maxphysaddr mode='emulate' bits='42'/>
sub element of /domain/cpu, which allows specifying the guest virtual CPU
address size. This can be useful if the guest needs to have a large amount
of memory.
If mode='passthrough', the virtual CPU will have the same number of address
bits as the host. If mode='emulate', the mandatory bits attribute specifies
the number of address bits.

Normally when an UEFI firmware is marked as read-only, an associated
NVRAM file will be created. Some builds of UEFI firmware, however, wish
to remain stateless and so will be read-only, but never have any NVRAM
file. To represent this concept a 'stateless' tristate bool attribute
is introduced on the <loader/> element.
There are rather a large number of permutations to consider.
With default firmware selection
* <os/>
=> Historic default, no change
* <os>
<loader stateless='yes'/>
</os>
=> Explicit version of historic default, no change
* <os>
<loader stateless='no'/>
</os>
=> Invalid, bios is always stateless
With manual legacy BIOS selection
* <os>
<loader>/path/to/seabios</loader>
...
</os>
=> Historic default, no change
* <os>
<loader stateless='yes'>/path/to/seabios</loader>

Some USB devices have a buggy firmware that either crashes on
device reset, or make the device unusable in some other way.
Fortunately, QEMU offers a way to skip device reset either
completely, or if device is not initialized yet. Expose this
ability to users under:
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb'>
<source guestReset='off'/>
</hostdev>

This patch introduces the logic to format and parse remote NVRAM.
Update NVRAM element schema, and docs for supporting network backed
NVRAM. NVRAM backed over network would give the flexibility to start
the VM on any host without having to worry about where to get the latest
nvram image.
<nvram type='network'>
<source protocol='iscsi' name='iqn.2013-07.com.example:iscsi-nopool/0'>
<host name='example.com' port='6000'/>
</source>
</nvram>
or
<nvram type='file'>
<source file='/var/lib/libvirt/nvram/guest_VARS.fd'/>
</nvram>
In the qemu driver we will support the new definition only with qemu's

As of v7.0.0-877-g70ac26b9e5 QEMU exposes its default event loop
for devices with no IOThread assigned as an QMP object. In the
very next commit (v7.0.0-878-g71ad4713cc) it was extended for
thread-pool-min and thread-pool-max attributes. Expose them under
new <defaultiothread/> element.

At least in case of QEMU an IOThread is actually a pool of
threads (see iothread_set_aio_context_params() in QEMU's code
base). As such, it can have minimal and maximal number of worker
threads. Allow setting them in domain XML.
