memory: Add iommu map/unmap notifiers
This patch adds a NotifierList to MemoryRegions which represent IOMMUs

unmappings from the IOMMU. All IOMMU implementations will need to call
memory_region_notify_iommu() to inform those waiting on the notifier list,
whenever an IOMMU mapping is made or removed.

memory: iommu support
Add a new memory region type that translates addresses it is given,
then forwards them to a target address space. This is similar to
an alias, except that the mapping is more flexible than a linear
translation and trucation, and also less efficient since the
translation happens at runtime.
The implementation uses an AddressSpace mapping the target region to
avoid hierarchical dispatch all the way to the resolved region; only
iommu regions are looked up dynamically.

doc: Drop ref to Bochs from -no-fd-bootchk documentation
Manual page and qemu-doc on talk about "Bochs BIOS". We use SeaBIOS,
and it implements the feature. Replace by just "BIOS", and drop the
TODO line wondering about the Bochs reference.
pc: Make -no-fd-bootchk stick across boot order changes
Option -no-fd-bootchk asks the BIOS to attempt booting from a floppy
even when the boot sector signature isn't there, by setting a bit in
RTC CMOS. It was added back in 2006 (commit 52ca8d6a).
Two years later, commit 0ecdffbb added monitor command boot_set.
Implemented by new function pc_boot_set(). It unconditionally clears
the floppy signature bit in CMOS.
Commit e0f084bf added -boot option once to automatically change the
boot order on first reset. Reuses pc_boot_set(), thus also clears the
floppy signature bit. Commit d9346e81 took care to preserve this
behavior.
Thus, -no-fd-bootchk applies to any number of boots. Except it
applies just to the first boot with -boot once, and never after
boot_set. Weird. Make it stick instead: set the bit according to
-no-fd-bootchk in pc_boot_set().
vl: Fix -boot order and once regressions, and related bugs
Option "once" sets up a different boot order just for the initial
boot. Boot order reverts back to normal on reset. Option "order"
changes the normal boot order.
The reversal is implemented by reset handler restore_boot_devices(),
which takes the boot order to revert to as argument.
restore_boot_devices() does nothing on its first call, because that
must be the initial machine reset. On its second call, it changes the
boot order back, and unregisters itself.
Because we register the handler right when -boot gets parsed, we can
revert to an incorrect normal boot order, and multiple -boot can
interact in funny ways.
Here's how things work without -boot once or order:
* boot_devices is "".
* main() passes machine->boot_order to to machine->init(), because
boot_devices is "". machine->init() configures firmware
accordingly. For PC machines, machine->boot_order is "cad", and
pc_cmos_init() writes it to RTC CMOS, where SeaBIOS picks it up.
Now consider -boot order=:
* boot_devices is "".
* -boot order= sets boot_devices to "" (no change).
* main() passes machine->boot_order to to machine->init(), because
boot_devices is "", as above.
Bug: -boot order= has no effect. Broken in commit e4ada29e.
Next, consider -boot once=a:
* boot_devices is "".
* -boot once=a registers restore_boot_devices() with argument "", and
sets boot_devices to "a".
* main() passes boot_devices "a" to machine->init(), which configures
firmware accordingly. For PC machines, pc_cmos_init() writes the
boot order to RTC CMOS.
* main() calls qemu_system_reset(). This runs reset handlers.
- restore_boot_devices() gets called with argument "". Does
nothing, because it's the first call.
- restore_boot_devices() gets called with argument "". Calls
qemu_boot_set("") to reconfigure firmware. For PC machines,
pc_boot_set() writes it into RTC CMOS. Reset handler
unregistered.
Bug: boot order reverts to "" instead of machine->boot_order. The
actual boot order depends on how firmware interprets "". Broken
in commit e4ada29e.
Next, consider -boot once=a -boot order=c:
* boot_devices is "".
* -boot once=a registers restore_boot_devices() with argument "", and
sets boot_devices to "a".
* -boot order=c sets boot_devices to "c".
* main() passes boot_devices "c" to machine->init(), which configures
firmware accordingly. For PC machines, pc_cmos_init() writes the
boot order to RTC CMOS.
* main() calls qemu_system_reset(). This runs reset handlers.
- restore_boot_devices() gets called with argument "". Does
nothing, because it's the first call.
* Machine boots, boot order is "c".
Bug: it should be "a". I figure this has always been broken.
- restore_boot_devices() gets called with argument "". Calls
qemu_boot_set("") to reconfigure firmware. For PC machines,
pc_boot_set() writes it into RTC CMOS. Reset handler

Bug: boot order reverts to "" instead of "c". I figure this has
always been broken, just differently broken before commit e4ada29e.

sets boot_devices to "b".
* -boot once=c registers restore_boot_devices() with argument "b", and
sets boot_devices to "c".

qemu_boot_set("b") to reconfigure firmware. For PC machines,
pc_boot_set() writes it into RTC CMOS. Reset handler
unregistered.
* Machine boots, boot order is "b".
Bug: should really be "c", because that came last, and for all other
-boot options, the last one wins. I figure this was broken some
time before commit 37905d6a, and fixed there only for a single
occurence of "once".
- restore_boot_devices() gets called with argument "". Calls
qemu_boot_set("") to reconfigure firmware. For PC machines,
pc_boot_set() writes it into RTC CMOS. Reset handler

Same bug as above: boot order reverts to "" instead of
machine->boot_order.
Fix by acting upon -boot options order, once and menu only after
option parsing is complete, and the machine is known. This is how the
other -boot options work already.
2. If -boot is given multiple times, options accumulate, just like for
-machine. Before, only options order, once and menu accumulated.
For the other ones, all but the first -boot in non-legacy syntax
got simply ignored.

scsi: reset cdrom tray statuses on scsi_disk_reset
Tray statuses should be also reset. Some guests may lock the tray and
right after resetting the guest it should be unlocked and closed. This
is done on power-on, reset and resume from suspend/hibernate on bare-metal.
Test results on bare-metal:
- on reset/power-on the CD-ROM tray is closed even before the monitor
is turned on
- on resume from suspend/hibernate the tray is also closed before
the monitor is turned on
From test results it seems that this behavior is OS and probably BIOS
independent.
Acking a level sensitive interrupt should have no effect if the
interrupt pin is still asserted. The current implementation requires
and edge condition to occur for setting a level sensitive IRQ, which
means an ACK can clear a level sensitive interrupt, until the original
source strobes the interrupt again.
Fix by keeping track of the interrupt pin state and setting ISR based
on this every time update_irq() is called.
intc/xilinx_intc: Don't clear level sens. IRQs without ACK
For level sensitive interrupts, ISR bits are cleared when the input pin
is lowered. This is incorrect. Only software can clear ISR bits (via
IAR or direct write to ISR with !MER(2)).
