blockdev: Store -drive option media in DriveInfo
DriveInfo is closely tied to -drive, and like -drive, it mixesinformation about host and guest part of the block device. UnlikeDriveInfo, BlockDriverState should be about the host part only.
One of the remaining guest bits there is the "type hint". -drive...
block QMP: Deprecate query-block's "type", drop info block's "type="
query-block's specification documents response member "type" withvalues "hd", "cdrom", "floppy", "unknown".
Its value is unreliable: a block device used as floppy has type"floppy" if created with if=floppy, but type "hd" if created with...
defaults: ide-cd, ide-hd and scsi-cd devices suppress default CD-ROM
ide-hd has to suppress the default CD-ROM, or else you can't put oneon secondary master without -nodefaults.
Unlike legacy scsi-disk, scsi-cd suppresses default CD-ROM.

scsi: Split qdev "scsi-disk" into "scsi-hd" and "scsi-cd"
A "scsi-disk" is either a hard disk or a CD-ROM, depending on theassociated BlockDriverState's type hint. Unclean; disk vs. CD belongsto the guest part, not the host part.
Have separate qdevs "scsi-hd" and "scsi-cd" to model disk vs. CD in...

qemu_img: is_not_zero() optimization
I run qemu-img under profiler and realized, that most of CPU time isconsumed by is_not_zero() function. I had made a couple of optimizationson it and got the following output for `time qemu-img convert -O qcow2volume.qcow2 snapshot.qcow2`:...
qed: support for growing images
The .bdrv_truncate() operation resizes images and growing is easy toimplement in QED. Simply check that the new size is valid and thenupdate the image_size header field to reflect the new size.

ahci: Fix crashes on duplicate BH registration
If ahci_dma_set_inactive is called a while there is still a pending BHfrom a previous run, we will crash on the second run ofahci_check_cmd_bh as it overwrites AHCIDevice::check_bh. Avoid thisbroken and redundant duplicate registration....
qemu-tool: Stub out qemu-timer functions
Block drivers may use timers for flushing metadata to disk orreconnecting to a network drive. Stub out the following functions inqemu-tool.c:
QEMUTimer *qemu_new_timer_ns(QEMUClock *clock, int scale, QEMUTimerCB *cb, void *opaque)...
qed: Periodically flush and clear need check bit
One strategy to limit the startup delay of consistency check whenopening image files is to ensure that the file is marked dirty for aslittle time as possible.
QED currently marks the image dirty when the first allocating write...
