feba2febce qemu: Support setting the 'removable' flag for USB disks
Add an attribute named 'removable' to the 'target' element of disks,
which controls the removable flag. For instance, on a Linux guest it
controls the value of /sys/block/$dev/removable. This option is only
valid for USB disks (i.e. bus='usb'), and its default value is 'off',
which is the same behaviour as before.

To achieve this, 'removable=on' (or 'off') is appended to the '-device
usb-storage' parameter sent to qemu when adding a USB disk via
'-disk'. A capability flag QEMU_CAPS_USB_STORAGE_REMOVABLE was added
to keep track if this option is supported by the qemu version used.

7524cd893e Revert "qemu: detect multi-head qxl via more than version check"
This reverts commit 5ac846e42e.

After further discussions with Alon Levy, I learned the following:

The use of '-vga qxl' vs. '-device qxl-vga' is completely orthogonal
to whether ram_size can be exposed.  Downstream distros are interested
in backporting support for multi-head qxl, but this can be done in
one of two ways:
1. Support one head per PCI device.  If you do this, then it makes
sense to have full control over the PCI address of each device. For
full control, you need '-device qxl-vga' instead of '-vga qxl'.
2. Support multiple heads through a single PCI device.  If you do
this, then you need to allocate more RAM to that PCI device (enough
ram to cover the multiple screens).  Here, the device is hard-coded
to 0:0:2.0, both in qemu and libvirt code.

Apparently, backporting ram_size changes to allow multiple heads in
a single device is much easier than backporting multiple device
support.  Furthermore, the presence or absence of qxl-vga.surfaces
is no different than the presence or absence of qxl-vga.ram_size;
both properties can be applied regardless of whether you have one
PCI device (-vga qxl) or multiple (-device qxl-vga), so this property
is NOT a good witness of whether '-device qxl-vga' support has been
backported.

Downstream RHEL will NOT be using this patch; and worse, leaving this
patch in risks doing the wrong thing if compiling upstream libvirt
on RHEL, so the best course of action is to revert it.  That means
that libvirt will go back to only using '-device qxl-vga' for qemu
>= 1.2, but this is just fine because we know of no distros that plan
on backporting multiple PCI address support to any older version of
qemu.  Meanwhile, downstream can still use ram_size to pack multiple
heads through a single PCI device.

5ac846e42e qemu: detect multi-head qxl via more than version check
Multi-head QXL support is so useful that distros have started to
backport it to qemu earlier than 1.2.  After discussion with
Alon Levy, we determined that the existence of the qxl-vga.surfaces
property is a reliable indicator of whether '-device qxl-vga' works,
or whether we have to stick to the older '-vga qxl'.  I'm leaving
in the existing check for QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_VIDEO_PRIMARY tied to
qemu 1.2 and newer (in case qemu is built without qxl support),
but for those distros that backport qxl, this additional capability
check will allow the correct command line for both RHEL 6.3 (which
lacks the feature) and RHEL 6.4 (where qemu still claims to be
version 0.12.2.x, but has backported multi-head qxl).

* src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c (virQEMUCapsObjectPropsQxlVga): New
property test.

capability to qemu earlier than 1.2.

a154f5f313 qemuhelpdata: Revert my 'fix'
I was convicted that space at EOL should no be there
even for qemu help data. Hence, I've removed one in
commit bb2f621611. However, it turns out we want
it exactly the way qemu produces it. So I should undo
my premature fix. A patch against qemu has been posted
as well.

63b4243624 qemu: Add support for -no-user-config
Thanks to this new option we are now able to use modern CPU models (such
as Westmere) defined in external configuration file.

The qemu-1.1{,-device} data files for qemuhelptest are filled in with
qemu-1.1-rc2 output for now. I will update those files with real
qemu-1.1 output once it is released.

8644a379d7 qemu: enable multifunction for older qemu
Now that RHEL 6.2 Beta is out, it would be nice to test multifunction
devices on that platform.  This changes things so that the multifunction
cap bit can be set in two different ways: by version comparison (needed
for qemu 0.13 which lacked a -device query), and by -device query
(provided by qemu.git and backported to the RHEL beta build of
qemu-kvm which still claims to be a modified 0.12, and therefore needed
for RHEL).

* src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c (qemuCapsParseDeviceStr): Allow
second method of setting multifunction cap bit.
* tests/qemuhelptest.c (mymain): Test it.
* tests/qemuhelpdata/qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-rhel62-beta: New file.

e9bd5c0e24 Add txmode attribute to interface XML for virtio backend
This is in response to:

   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=629662

Explanation

qemu's virtio-net-pci driver allows setting the algorithm used for tx
packets to either "bh" or "timer". This is done by adding ",tx=bh" or
",tx=timer" to the "-device virtio-net-pci" commandline option.

'bh' stands for 'bottom half'; when this is set, packet tx is all done
in an iothread in the bottom half of the driver. (In libvirt, this
option is called the more descriptive "iothread".)

'timer' means that tx work is done in qemu, and if there is more tx
data than can be sent at the present time, a timer is set before qemu
moves on to do other things; when the timer fires, another attempt is
made to send more data. (libvirt retains the name "timer" for this
option.)

The resulting difference, according to the qemu developer who added
the option is:

    bh makes tx more asynchronous and reduces latency, but potentially
    causes more processor bandwidth contention since the cpu doing the
    tx isn't necessarily the cpu where the guest generated the
    packets.

Solution

This patch provides a libvirt domain xml knob to change the option on
the qemu commandline, by adding a new attribute "txmode" to the
<driver> element that can be placed inside any <interface> element in
a domain definition. It's use would be something like this:

    <interface ...>
      ...
      <model type='virtio'/>
      <driver txmode='iothread'/>
      ...
    </interface>

I chose to put this setting as an attribute to <driver> rather than as
a sub-element to <tune> because it is specific to the virtio-net
driver, not something that is generally usable by all network drivers.
(note that this is the same placement as the "driver name=..."
attribute used to choose kernel vs. userland backend for the
virtio-net driver.)

Actually adding the tx=xxx option to the qemu commandline is only done
if the version of qemu being used advertises it in the output of

    qemu -device virtio-net-pci,?

If a particular txmode is requested in the XML, and the option isn't
listed in that help output, an UNSUPPORTED_CONFIG error is logged, and
the domain fails to start.
