[Qemu-arm] [PATCH v4 0/7] q35: add negotiable broadcast SMI |

* This is version 4 of the series; the last version was at
<http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-11/msg03582.html>.
This version is practically a rewrite from scratch, seeking to address
the v3 feedback. Here's what the individual patches do:
- Patch #1 rebases and extends Michael's "writeable fw_cfg blobs"
patch from Feb/March 2016. The changes relative to the original
patch are documented in the commit message (the code changes are
minimal).
- Patches #2 and #3 turn the FW_CFG_FILE_SLOTS constant into a device
property, and expose the desired number of fw_cfg file slots to
board code. This is meant to address a concern raised by Paolo in
the v2 review
<http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-11/msg03125.html>,
namely that we're about to run out of FW_CFG_FILE_SLOTS.
- Patch #4 introduces the "pc-q35-2.9" and "pc-i440fx-2.9" machine
types, which are allowed to take advantage of the new default for
fw_cfg file slots (0x20 rather than 0x10).
- Patch #5 introduces SMI feature negotiation via fw_cfg, with the
following new files:
- etc/smi/host-features
- etc/smi/guest-features
- etc/smi/features-ok
This is supposed to follow Michael's recommendation re: imitating
virtio
<http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-11/msg03218.html>.
The guest-features file is freely writeable by the guest (no write
callbacks in fw_cfg), and the feature validation & lockdown occurs
when the guest selects the features-ok file (for reading).
Board code is allowed to choose the host feature bitmap to
advertise.
This patch doesn't add any specific SMI features yet.
- Patch #6 adds the ICH9_LPC_SMI_F_BROADCAST feature.
- Patch #7 introduces the PCMachineClass.get_smi_host_features method,
and implements it for "pc-q35-2.9" and later. The idea is to tie the
SMI host features to machine types, and let the machine types
calculate their host features with code (i.e., not just a constant).
In this patch, the "pc-q35-2.9" machine type exposes the
ICH9_LPC_SMI_F_BROADCAST feature iff (smp_cpus == max_cpus), that
is, when VCPU hotplug is not possible. (Also from Paolo's v3
feedback, in
<http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-11/msg04919.html>.)
* I've written the OVMF side patches too and tested them together
(including gdb / debug messages for "white box" testing).
* Note that this version depends on the following PULL req from Michael:
[Qemu-devel] [PULL 0/5] virtio, vhost, pc: fixes
