Merge upstream QEMU 10.0.50 into the Android source tree.

This change integrates many changes from the upstream QEMU sources.
Its main purpose is to enable correct ARMv6 and ARMv7 support to the
Android emulator. Due to the nature of the upstream code base, this
unfortunately also required changes to many other parts of the source.

Note that to ensure easier integrations in the future, some source files
and directories that have heavy Android-specific customization have been
renamed with an -android suffix. The original files are still there for
easier integration tracking, but *never* compiled. For example:

  net.c        net-android.c
  qemu-char.c  qemu-char-android.c
  slirp/       slirp-android/
  etc...

Tested on linux-x86, darwin-x86 and windows host machines.

+STEXI
+@item -drive @var{option}[,@var{option}[,@var{option}[,...]]]
+
+Define a new drive. Valid options are:
+
+@table @code
+@item file=@var{file}
+This option defines which disk image (@pxref{disk_images}) to use with
+this drive. If the filename contains comma, you must double it
+(for instance, "file=my,,file" to use file "my,file").
+@item if=@var{interface}
+This option defines on which type on interface the drive is connected.
+Available types are: ide, scsi, sd, mtd, floppy, pflash, virtio.
+@item bus=@var{bus},unit=@var{unit}
+These options define where is connected the drive by defining the bus number and
+the unit id.
+@item index=@var{index}
+This option defines where is connected the drive by using an index in the list
+of available connectors of a given interface type.
+@item media=@var{media}
+This option defines the type of the media: disk or cdrom.
+@item cyls=@var{c},heads=@var{h},secs=@var{s}[,trans=@var{t}]
+These options have the same definition as they have in @option{-hdachs}.
+@item snapshot=@var{snapshot}
+@var{snapshot} is "on" or "off" and allows to enable snapshot for given drive (see @option{-snapshot}).
+@item cache=@var{cache}
+@var{cache} is "none", "writeback", or "writethrough" and controls how the host cache is used to access block data.
+@item format=@var{format}
+Specify which disk @var{format} will be used rather than detecting
+the format.  Can be used to specifiy format=raw to avoid interpreting
+an untrusted format header.
+@item serial=@var{serial}
+This option specifies the serial number to assign to the device.
+@end table
+
+By default, writethrough caching is used for all block device.  This means that
+the host page cache will be used to read and write data but write notification
+will be sent to the guest only when the data has been reported as written by
+the storage subsystem.
+
+Writeback caching will report data writes as completed as soon as the data is
+present in the host page cache.  This is safe as long as you trust your host.
+If your host crashes or loses power, then the guest may experience data
+corruption.  When using the @option{-snapshot} option, writeback caching is
+used by default.
+
+The host page cache can be avoided entirely with @option{cache=none}.  This will
+attempt to do disk IO directly to the guests memory.  QEMU may still perform
+an internal copy of the data.
+
+Some block drivers perform badly with @option{cache=writethrough}, most notably,
+qcow2.  If performance is more important than correctness,
+@option{cache=writeback} should be used with qcow2.  By default, if no explicit
+caching is specified for a qcow2 disk image, @option{cache=writeback} will be
+used.  For all other disk types, @option{cache=writethrough} is the default.
+
+Instead of @option{-cdrom} you can use:
+@example
+qemu -drive file=file,index=2,media=cdrom
+@end example
+
+Instead of @option{-hda}, @option{-hdb}, @option{-hdc}, @option{-hdd}, you can
+use:

+qemu -drive file=file,index=0,media=disk
+qemu -drive file=file,index=1,media=disk
+qemu -drive file=file,index=2,media=disk
+qemu -drive file=file,index=3,media=disk
+@end example
+
+You can connect a CDROM to the slave of ide0:
+@example
+qemu -drive file=file,if=ide,index=1,media=cdrom
+@end example
+
+If you don't specify the "file=" argument, you define an empty drive:
+@example
+qemu -drive if=ide,index=1,media=cdrom
+@end example
+
+You can connect a SCSI disk with unit ID 6 on the bus #0:
+@example
+qemu -drive file=file,if=scsi,bus=0,unit=6
+@end example
+
+Instead of @option{-fda}, @option{-fdb}, you can use:
+@example
+qemu -drive file=file,index=0,if=floppy
+qemu -drive file=file,index=1,if=floppy
+@end example
+
+By default, @var{interface} is "ide" and @var{index} is automatically
+incremented:

+is a TCP port number, not a display number.
+
+@item password
+
+Require that password based authentication is used for client connections.
+The password must be set separately using the @code{change} command in the
+@ref{pcsys_monitor}
+
+@item tls
+
+Require that client use TLS when communicating with the VNC server. This
+uses anonymous TLS credentials so is susceptible to a man-in-the-middle
+attack. It is recommended that this option be combined with either the
+@var{x509} or @var{x509verify} options.
+
+@item x509=@var{/path/to/certificate/dir}
+
+Valid if @option{tls} is specified. Require that x509 credentials are used
+for negotiating the TLS session. The server will send its x509 certificate
+to the client. It is recommended that a password be set on the VNC server
+to provide authentication of the client when this is used. The path following
+this option specifies where the x509 certificates are to be loaded from.
+See the @ref{vnc_security} section for details on generating certificates.
+
+@item x509verify=@var{/path/to/certificate/dir}
+
+Valid if @option{tls} is specified. Require that x509 credentials are used
+for negotiating the TLS session. The server will send its x509 certificate
+to the client, and request that the client send its own x509 certificate.
+The server will validate the client's certificate against the CA certificate,
+and reject clients when validation fails. If the certificate authority is
+trusted, this is a sufficient authentication mechanism. You may still wish
+to set a password on the VNC server as a second authentication layer. The
+path following this option specifies where the x509 certificates are to
+be loaded from. See the @ref{vnc_security} section for details on generating
+certificates.
+
+@item sasl
+
+Require that the client use SASL to authenticate with the VNC server.
+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. See the @ref{vnc_security} section for details on using
+SASL authentication.
+
+@item acl
+
+Turn on access control lists for checking of the x509 client certificate
+and SASL party. For x509 certs, the ACL check is made against the
+certificate's distinguished name. This is something that looks like
+@code{C=GB,O=ACME,L=Boston,CN=bob}. For SASL party, the ACL check is
+made against the username, which depending on the SASL plugin, may
+include a realm component, eg @code{bob} or @code{bob@@EXAMPLE.COM}.
+When the @option{acl} flag is set, the initial access list will be
+empty, with a @code{deny} policy. Thus no one will be allowed to
+use the VNC server until the ACLs have been loaded. This can be
+achieved using the @code{acl} monitor command.

+will appear in the netconsole session.
+
+If you plan to send characters back via netconsole or you want to stop
+and start qemu a lot of times, you should have qemu use the same
+source port each time by using something like @code{-serial
+udp::4555@@:4556} to qemu. Another approach is to use a patched
+version of netcat which can listen to a TCP port and send and receive
+characters via udp.  If you have a patched version of netcat which
+activates telnet remote echo and single char transfer, then you can
+use the following options to step up a netcat redirector to allow
+telnet on port 5555 to access the qemu port.
+@table @code

+@item tcp:[@var{host}]:@var{port}[,@var{server}][,nowait][,nodelay]
+The TCP Net Console has two modes of operation.  It can send the serial
+I/O to a location or wait for a connection from a location.  By default
+the TCP Net Console is sent to @var{host} at the @var{port}.  If you use
+the @var{server} option QEMU will wait for a client socket application
+to connect to the port before continuing, unless the @code{nowait}
+option was specified.  The @code{nodelay} option disables the Nagle buffering
+algorithm.  If @var{host} is omitted, 0.0.0.0 is assumed. Only
+one TCP connection at a time is accepted. You can use @code{telnet} to
+connect to the corresponding character device.

+
+@item telnet:@var{host}:@var{port}[,server][,nowait][,nodelay]
+The telnet protocol is used instead of raw tcp sockets.  The options
+work the same as if you had specified @code{-serial tcp}.  The
+difference is that the port acts like a telnet server or client using
+telnet option negotiation.  This will also allow you to send the
+MAGIC_SYSRQ sequence if you use a telnet that supports sending the break
+sequence.  Typically in unix telnet you do it with Control-] and then
+type "send break" followed by pressing the enter key.
+
+@item unix:@var{path}[,server][,nowait]
+A unix domain socket is used instead of a tcp socket.  The option works the
+same as if you had specified @code{-serial tcp} except the unix domain socket
+@var{path} is used for connections.
+
+@item mon:@var{dev_string}
+This is a special option to allow the monitor to be multiplexed onto
+another serial port.  The monitor is accessed with key sequence of
+@key{Control-a} and then pressing @key{c}. See monitor access
+@ref{pcsys_keys} in the -nographic section for more keys.
+@var{dev_string} should be any one of the serial devices specified
+above.  An example to multiplex the monitor onto a telnet server
+listening on port 4444 would be:
+@table @code
+@item -serial mon:telnet::4444,server,nowait
