This patch adds the -drive copy-on-read=on|off command-line option:
copy-on-read=on|off
copy-on-read is "on" or "off" and enables whether to copy read backing
file sectors into the image file. Copy-on-read avoids accessing the
same backing file sectors repeatedly and is useful when the backing
file is over a slow network. By default copy-on-read is off.

This patch create a synthetic file system with mount tag
v_synth when -virtfs_synth command line option is specified
in qemu. The synthetic file system can be mounted in guest
using 9p using the below command line
mount -t 9p -oversion=9p2000.L,trans=virtio v_synth <mountpint>
Synthetic file system enabled different qemu subsystem to register

This patch adds -drive cache=directsync for O_DIRECT | O_SYNC host file
I/O with no disk write cache presented to the guest.
This mode is useful when guests may not be sending flushes when
appropriate and therefore leave data at risk in case of power failure.
When cache=directsync is used, write operations are only completed to
the guest when data is safely on disk.
This new mode is like cache=writethrough but it bypasses the host page
cache.

it's still possible to specify header fields as before.

Added options to let qemu transfer two configuration files to bios:
"bootsplash.bmp" and "etc/boot-menu-wait", which could be specified by command
-boot splash=P,splash-time=T
P is jpg/bmp file name or an absolute path, T have a max value of 0xffff, unit
is ms. With these two options, if user invoke qemu with menu=on option, then
a splash picture would be showed in a given time. For example:
qemu -boot menu=on,splash=/root/boot.bmp,splash-time=5000
would make boot.bmp shown as a brand with 5 seconds in the booting up process.

Turn on SASL support by appending "sasl" to the spice arguments, which
requires that the client use SASL to authenticate with the spice. The
exact choice of authentication method used is controlled from the
system / user's SASL configuration file for the 'qemu' service. This
is typically found in /etc/sasl2/qemu.conf. If running QEMU as an
unprivileged user, an environment variable SASL_CONF_PATH can be used
to make it search alternate locations for the service config. While
some SASL auth methods can also provide data encryption (eg GSSAPI),
it is recommended that SASL always be combined with the 'tls' and
'x509' settings to enable use of SSL and server certificates. This
ensures a data encryption preventing compromise of authentication
credentials.
It requires support from spice 0.8.1.

This option gives the ability to switch one "accelerator" like kvm, xen
or the default one tcg. We can specify more than one accelerator by
separate them by a colon. QEMU will try each one and use the first whose
works.
So,
./qemu -machine accel=xen:kvm:tcg
which would try Xen support first, then KVM and finally TCG if none of
the other works.
By default, QEMU will use TCG. But we can specify another default in the
global configuration file.

qxl is a paravirtual graphics card. The qxl device is the bridge
between the guest and the spice server (aka libspice-server). The
spice server will send the rendering commands to the spice client, which
will actually render them.
The spice server is also able to render locally, which is done in case
the guest wants read something from video memory. Local rendering is
also used to support display over vnc and sdl.
qxl is activated using "-vga qxl". qxl supports multihead, additional
cards can be added via '-device qxl".

when using a multicast socket for networking. The option takes an IP
