Make all AIO requests vectored and defer linearization until the actual
I/O thread.  This prepares for using native preadv/pwritev.

Also enables asynchronous direct I/O by handling that case in the I/O thread.

Qcow and qcow2 propably want to be adopted to directly deal with multi-segment
requests, but that can be implemented later.

We now enforce that you cannot write beyond the end of a non-growable file.
qcow2 files are not growable but we rely on them being growable to do
savevm/loadvm.  Temporarily allow them to be growable by introducing a new
API specifically for savevm read/write operations.

Added a backing_format field to BlockDriverState.
Added bdrv_create2 and drv->bdrv_create2 to create an image with
a known backing file format.
Upon bdrv_open2 if backing format is known use it, instead of
probing the (backing) image.

Okay, I started looking into how to handle scsi-generic I/O in the
new world order.

I think the best is to use the SG_IO ioctl instead of the read/write
interface as that allows us to support scsi passthrough on disk/cdrom
devices, too.  See Hannes patch on the kvm list from August for an
example.

Now that we always do ioctls we don't need another abstraction than
bdrv_ioctl for the synchronous requests for now, and for asynchronous
requests I've added a aio_ioctl abstraction keeping it simple.

Long-term we might want to move the ops to a higher-level abstraction
and let the low-level code fill out the request header, but I'm lazy
enough to leave that to the people trying to support scsi-passthrough
on a non-Linux OS.

Tested lightly by issuing various sg_ commands from sg3-utils in a guest
to a host CDROM device.

Move the AIOCB allocation code to use a dedicate structure, AIOPool.  AIOCB
specific information, such as the AIOCB size and cancellation routine, is
moved into the pool.

At present, there is exactly one pool per block format driver, maintaining
the status quo.

Now that scsi generic no longer uses bdrv_pread() and bdrv_pwrite(), we can
drop the corresponding internal APIs, which overlap bdrv_read()/bdrv_write()
and, being byte oriented, are unnatural for a block device.

Add an internal API for the generic block layer to send scsi generic commands
to block format driver.  This means block format drivers no longer need

Reading the passwords for encrypted hard disks during early startup is
broken (I guess for quiet a while now):
 - No monitor terminal is ready for input at this point
 - Forcing all mux'ed terminals into monitor mode can confuse other
   users of that channels

To overcome these issues and to lay the ground for a clean decoupling of
monitor terminals, this patch changes the initial password inquiry as
follows:
 - Prevent autostart if there is some encrypted disk
 - Once the user tries to resume the VM, prompt for all missing
   passwords
 - Only resume if all passwords were accepted

Introduce a growable flag that's set by bdrv_file_open().  Block devices should
never be growable, only files that are being used by block devices.

I went through Fabrice's early comments about the patch that was first applied.
While I disagree with that patch, I also disagree with Fabrice's suggestion.

There's no good reason to do the checks in the block drivers themselves.  It
just increases the possibility that this bug could show up again.  Since we're
calling bdrv_getlength() to determine the length, we're giving the block drivers
a chance to chime in and let us know what range is valid.

Basically, this patch makes the BlockDriver API guarantee that all requests are
within 0..bdrv_getlength() which to me seems like a Good Thing.

What do others think?

Generate an option rom instead of using a hijacked boot sector for kernel
booting.  This just requires adding a small option ROM header and a few more
instructions to the boot sector to take over the int19 vector and run our
boot code.

A disk is no longer needed when using -kernel on x86.
