This introduces the ability to set the discard granularity option
for a disk. It defines the smallest amount of data that can be
discarded in a single operation (useful for managing and
optimizing storage).
However, most hypervisors automatically set the proper discard
granularity and users usually do not need to change the default
setting.

Qemu 8.1.0 will add discard_no_unref option for qcow2 images.
When this option is enabled (default=false), then it will no longer
unreference clusters when guest does a discard, but it will just free
the blocks (useful for incremental backups for example) and pass the
discard to the lower layer.
This was implemented to avoid fragmentation within the qcow2 image.

Both virtio-mem and virtio-pmem devices have '.memaddr' attribute
which controls the address where they are mapped in the guest
memory. Ideally, users do not need to specify this as QEMU does
the right thing and computes addresses automatically on startup.
But soon, we will need to record this address as it is part of
guest ABI. And also, there might be some users that want to
control this value. Now, we are in a bit of a pickle, because
both these device types already have a PCI address, therefore we
can't just use <address/> blindly. But what we can do, is
introduce <address/> under the <target/> element. This is also
more conceptual, as knobs under <target/> control guest visible
config of memory device (and .memaddr surely falls into that
category).
NB, SgxEPCDeviceInfo struct in QMP definition also has .memaddr
attribute, but because of the way we build cmd line there's no
(easy) way to set the attribute. So ignore that for now.

Per section "Relationship between serial ports and consoles", <serial> is

This implements XML config to represent a subset of the features
supported by 'passt' (https://passt.top), which is an alternative
backend for emulated network devices that requires no elevated
privileges (similar to slirp, but "better").
Along with setting the backend to use passt (via <backend
type='passt'/> when the interface type='user'), we also support
passt's --log-file and --interface options (via the <backend>
subelement logFile and upstream attributes) and its --tcp-ports and
--udp-ports options (which selectively forward incoming connections to
the host on to the guest) via the new <portForward> subelement of
<interface>. Here is an example of the config for a network interface
that uses passt to connect:
<interface type='user'>
<mac address='52:54:00:a8:33:fc'/>
<ip address='192.168.221.122' family='ipv4'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<backend type='passt' logFile='/tmp/xyzzy.log' upstream='eth0'/>
<portForward address='10.0.0.1' proto='tcp' dev='eth0'>
<range start='2022' to='22'/>
<range start='5000' end='5099' to='1000'/>
<range start='5010' end='5029' exclude='yes'/>
</portForward>
<portForward proto='udp'>
<range start='10101'/>
</portForward>
</interface>
In this case:
* the guest will be offered address 192.168.221.122 for its interface
via DHCP
* the passt process will write all log messages to /tmp/xyzzy.log
* routes to the outside for the guest will be derived from the
addresses and routes associated with the host interface "eth0".
* incoming tcp port 2022 to the host will be forwarded to port 22
on the guest.
* incoming tcp ports 5000-5099 (with the exception of ports 5010-5029)
to the host will be forwarded to port 1000-1099 on the guest.
* incoming udp packets on port 10101 will be forwarded (unchanged) to
the guest.

Normally when an UEFI firmware is marked as read-only, an associated

to remain stateless and so will be read-only, but never have any NVRAM

is introduced on the <loader/> element.
