aio / timers: Untangle include files

include/qemu/timer.h has no need to include main-loop.h and
doing so causes an issue for the next patch. Unfortunately
various files assume including timers.h will pull in main-loop.h.
Untangle this mess.

block: Introduce bs->zero_beyond_eof

In 4146b46c42e0989cb5842e04d88ab6ccb1713a48 (block: Produce zeros when
protocols reading beyond end of file), we break qemu-iotests ./check

Implement sync modes for drive-backup.

This patch adds sync-modes to the drive-backup interface and
implements the FULL, NONE and TOP modes of synchronization.

FULL performs as before copying the entire contents of the drive
while preserving the point-in-time using CoW....

block: add bdrv_add_before_write_notifier()

The bdrv_add_before_write_notifier() function installs a callback that
is invoked before a write request is processed. This will be used to

block: add basic backup support to block driver

backup_start() creates a block job that copies a point-in-time snapshot
of a block device to a target block device.

We call backup_do_cow() for each write during backup. That function

block: move qmp and info dump related code to block/qapi.c

This patch is a pure code move patch, except following modification:

2 dump_human_image_info() is renamed to bdrv_image_info_dump().
3 in qmp_query_block() and qmp_query_blockstats, use bdrv_next(bs)...

block: fix I/O throttling accounting blind spot

I/O throttling relies on bdrv_acct_done() which is called when a request
completes. This leaves a blind spot since we only charge for completed
requests, not submitted requests.

For example, if there is 1 operation remaining in this time slice the...

It is not necessary to adjust the slice time at runtime. We already
extend the current slice in order to carry over accounting into the next

vmdk: Allow selecting SCSI adapter in image creation

Introduce a new option "adapter_type" when converting to vmdk images.
It can be one of the following: ide (default), buslogic, lsilogic

In case of a non-ide adapter, heads is set to 255 instead of the 16....
