[Qemu-devel] [patch]Fix block device read for some SLOW file

[lepton]

Hi, I found when I am using qemu, I can't boot from emulated cdrom.
After some debug, I found the reason is that my iso file is in a samba
file system. When qemu read data from my samba file system. read will be
interrupted by signal alarm. So qemu won't boot from it.

The follwing patch will fix it.
