We should not try to assign a not yet opened node as the backing file,
because as soon as the permission system is added it will fail. The
just added bdrv_new_open_driver() function is the right tool to open a
file with an internal driver, use it.
In case anyone wonders whether that magic fake backing file to trigger a
special action on 'commit' actually works today: No, not for me. One
reason is that we've been adding a raw format driver on top for several
years now and raw doesn't support commit. Other reasons include that the
backing file isn't writable and the driver doesn't support reopen, and
it's also size 0 and the driver doesn't support bdrv_truncate. All of
these are easily fixable, but then 'commit' ended up in an infinite loop
deep in the vvfat code for me, so I thought I'd best leave it alone. I'm
not really sure what it was supposed to do anyway.

The way that attaching bs->file worked was a bit unusual in that it was
the only child that would be attached to a node which is not opened yet.
Because of this, the block layer couldn't know yet which permissions the
driver would eventually need.
This patch moves the point where bs->file is attached to the beginning
of the individual .bdrv_open() implementations, so drivers already know
what they are going to do with the child. This is also more consistent
with how driver-specific children work.
For a moment, bdrv_open() gets its own BdrvChild to perform image
probing, but instead of directly assigning this BdrvChild to the BDS, it
becomes a temporary one and the node name is passed as an option to the
drivers, so that they can simply use bdrv_open_child() to create another
reference for their own use.
This duplicated child for (the not opened yet) bs is not the final
state, a follow-up patch will change the image probing code to use a
BlockBackend, which is completely independent of bs.

Running with strace we can see that without this change we do one

one pwrite() per block.

pread64(9, "\0", 1, 4095) = 1
pwrite64(9, "\0", 1, 4095) = 1

$ strace ./qemu-img-fix create -f raw -o preallocation=falloc mnt/test 8192
...
pwrite64(9, "\0", 1, 4095) = 1
pwrite64(9, "\0", 1, 8191) = 1
This happens because posix_fallocate is checking if each block is
allocated before writing a byte to the block, and when truncating the
file before preallocation, all blocks are unallocated.

Introduce support for emulating the MIPS Boston development board. The
Boston board is built around an FPGA & 3 PCIe controllers, one of which
is connected to an Intel EG20T Platform Controller Hub. It is used
during the development & debug of new CPUs and the software intended to
run on them, and is essentially the successor to the older MIPS Malta
board.
This patch does not implement the EG20T, instead connecting an already
supported ICH-9 AHCI controller. Whilst this isn't accurate it's enough
for typical stock Boston software (eg. Linux kernels) to work with hard
disks given that both the ICH-9 & EG20T implement the AHCI
specification.
Boston boards typically boot kernels in the FIT image format, and this
patch will treat kernels provided to QEMU as such. When loading a kernel
directly, the board code will generate minimal firmware much as the
Malta board code does. This firmware will set up the CM, CPC & GIC
register base addresses then set argument registers & jump to the kernel
entry point. Alternatively, bootloader code may be loaded using the bios
argument in which case no firmware will be generated & execution will
proceed from the start of the boot code at the default MIPS boot
exception vector (offset 0x1fc00000 into (c)kseg1).
Currently real Boston boards are always used with FPGA bitfiles that
include a Global Interrupt Controller (GIC), so the interrupt
configuration is only defined for such cases. Therefore the board will
only allow use of CPUs which implement the CPS components, including the
GIC, and will otherwise exit with a message.

Previously flushes on other vCPUs would only get serviced when they

violates the semantics of TLB flush from the point of view of source
vCPU.
To solve this we call the cputlb *_all_cpus_synced() functions to do
the flushes which ensures all flushes are completed by the time the
vCPU next schedules its own work. As the TLB instructions are modelled
as CP writes the TB ends at this point meaning cpu->exit_request will
be checked before the next instruction is executed.

The main use case for tlb_reset_dirty is to set the TLB_NOTDIRTY flags
in TLB entries to force the slow-path on writes. This is used to mark
page ranges containing code which has been translated so it can be
invalidated if written to. To do this safely we need to ensure the TLB
entries in question for all vCPUs are updated before we attempt to run
the code otherwise a race could be introduced.
To achieve this we atomically set the flag in tlb_reset_dirty_range and
take care when setting it when the TLB entry is filled.
On 32 bit systems attempting to emulate 64 bit guests we don't even
bother as we might not have the atomic primitives available. MTTCG is
disabled in this case and can't be forced on. The copy_tlb_helper
