block: add logical_block_size property

Add a logical block size attribute as various guest side tools only
increase the filesystem sector size based on it, not the advisory
physical block size.

For scsi we already have support for a different logical block size...

virtio-blk: revert serial number support

The addition of the whole ATA IDENTIY page caused the config space to
go above the allowed size in the PCI spec, and thus the feature was
already reverted in the Linux guest driver and disabled by default in
qemu....

virtio: add features as qdev properties

Add feature bits as properties to virtio. This makes it possible to e.g. define

compatibility, or without hardware checksum support, which is required for 0.11...

virtio-blk: add volatile writecache feature

Add a new VIRTIO_BLK_F_WCACHE feature to virtio-blk to indicate that we have
a volatile write cache that needs controlled flushing. Implement a
VIRTIO_BLK_T_FLUSH operation to flush it.

Add serial number support for virtio_blk

[brought forward to current qemu-kvm.git]

This patch implements the missing qemu logic to
interpret a '-drive .. serial=XYZ ..' flag for
a virtio_blk device.

The serial number string is contained in a
skeletal IDENTIFY DEVICE data structure and...

virtio-blk: add SGI_IO passthru support

[had the qemu list address wrong the first time, reply to this message,
not the previous if you were on Cc]

Add support for SG_IO passthru (packet commands) to the virtio-blk
backend. Conceptually based on an older patch from Hannes Reinecke...

pci: virtio: use pci id defines (Gerd Hoffman)

Use the defines added by the previous patch in the virtio drivers.
Also remove the pointless vendor and device args from the
virtio_blk_init() function.

Add virtio-blk support

Virtio-blk is a paravirtual block device based on VirtIO. It can be used by
specifying the if=virtio parameter to the -drive parameter.

When using -enable-kvm, it can achieve very good performance compared to IDE or
SCSI.
