The virtqueue_pop() implementation needs to check if the avail ring
contains some pending buffers. To perform this check, it is not
always necessary to fetch the avail_idx in the VQ memory, which is
expensive. This patch introduces a shadow variable tracking avail_idx
and modifies virtio_queue_empty() to access avail_idx in physical
memory only when necessary.

The return code of virtqueue_pop/vring_pop is unused except to check for
errors or 0. We can thus easily move allocation inside the functions
and just return a pointer to the VirtQueueElement.
The advantage is that we will be able to allocate only the space that
is needed for the actual size of the s/g list instead of the full
VIRTQUEUE_MAX_SIZE items. Currently VirtQueueElement takes about 48K
of memory, and this kind of allocation puts a lot of stress on malloc.
By cutting the size by two or three orders of magnitude, malloc can
use much more efficient algorithms.
The patch is pretty large, but changes to each device are testable
more or less independently. Splitting it would mostly add churn.

I misunderstood the vmstate macro definition when I reworked the

The VMSTATE_STRUCT_VARRAY_KNOWN, was described as being for "a
variable length array (i.e. _type *_field) but we know the
length". However it actually specified operation for arrays embedded in
the struct (i.e. _type _field[]) since it lacked the VMS_POINTER
flag. This caused offset calculation to be completely off, examining and
potentially sending random data instead of the VirtQueue content.
Replace the otherwise unused VMSTATE_STRUCT_VARRAY_KNOWN with a
VMSTATE_STRUCT_VARRAY_POINTER_KNOWN that includes the VMS_POINTER flag

virtio_map_sg currently fails if one of the entries it's mapping is

handles this by splitting sg entries.
This new API generally turns out to be a good idea since it's harder to
misuse: at least in one case the existing one was used incorrectly.
This will still fail if there's no space left in the sg, but luckily max
queue size in use is currently 256, while max sg size is 1024, so we
should be OK even is all entries happen to cross a single DIMM boundary.
Won't work well with very small DIMM sizes, unfortunately:
e.g. this will fail with 4K DIMMs where a single
request might span a large number of DIMMs.
Let's hope these are uncommon - at least we are not breaking things.
Note: virtio-scsi calls virtio_map_sg on data loaded from network, and
validates input, asserting on failure. Copy the validating code here -
it will be dropped from virtio-scsi in a follow-up patch.

One of the annoyances of the current migration format is the fact that

Some code randomly scattered throughout QEMU elaborates roughly how to
read and write a stream of bytes.
We discussed an idea during KVM Forum 2013 to add a JSON description of
the migration protocol itself to the migration stream. This patch
adds a section after the VM_END migration end marker that contains
description data on what the device sections of the stream are composed of.
This approach is backwards compatible with any QEMU version reading the
stream, because QEMU just stops reading after the VM_END marker and ignores
any data following it.
With an additional external program this allows us to decipher the
contents of any migration stream and hopefully make migration bugs easier

Some CPU families can dynamically change their endianness. This means we
can have little endian ppc or big endian arm guests for example. This has
an impact on legacy virtio data structures since they are target endian.
We hence introduce a new property to track the endianness of each virtio
device. It is reasonnably assumed that endianness won't change while the
device is in use : we hence capture the device endianness when it gets
reset.
We migrate this property in a subsection, after the device descriptor. This
means the load code must not rely on it until it is restored. As a consequence,
the vring sanity checks had to be moved after the call to vmstate_load_state().
We enforce paranoia by poisoning the property at the begining of virtio_load().

There is a need to add some more fields to VirtIODevice that should be
migrated (broken status, endianness). The problem is that we do not
want to break compatibility while adding a new feature... This issue has
been addressed in the generic VMState code with the use of optional
subsections. As a *temporary* alternative to port the whole virtio
migration code to VMState, this patch mimics a similar subsectionning
ability for virtio, using the VMState code.
Since each virtio device is streamed in its own section, the idea is to
stream subsections between the end of the device section and the start
of the next sections. This allows an older QEMU to complain and exit
