The USB network interface has a single buffer which the guest reads
from. This patch prevents multiple calls to usbnet_receive() from
clobbering the input buffer. Instead we queue packets until buffer
space becomes available again.
This is inspired by virtio-net and e1000 rxbuf handling.

The USB network interface has two code paths depending on whether or not
RNDIS mode is enabled. Refactor usbnet_receive() so that there is a
common path throughout the function instead of duplicating everything
across if (is_rndis(s)) ... else ... code paths.
Clean up coding style and 80 character line wrap along the way.

This is reported by QA. When installing os with pxe, after the initial
kernel and initrd are loaded, the procedure tries to copy files from install
server to local harddisk, the network becomes stall because of running out of
receive descriptor.
[Whitespace fixes and removed qemu_notify_event() because Paolo's
earlier net patches have moved it into qemu_flush_queued_packets().
Additional info:
I can reproduce the network hang with a tap device doing a iPXE HTTP
boot as follows:
$ qemu -enable-kvm -m 1024 \
-netdev tap,id=netdev0,script=no,downscript=no \
-device i82559er,netdev=netdev0,romfile=80861209.rom \
-drive if=virtio,cache=none,file=test.img
iPXE> ifopen net0
iPXE> config # set static network configuration
iPXE> kernel http://mirror.bytemark.co.uk/fedora/linux/releases/17/Fedora/x86_64/os/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz
I needed a vanilla iPXE ROM to get to the iPXE prompt. I think the boot
prompt has been disabled in the ROMs that ship with QEMU to reduce boot
time.
During the vmlinuz HTTP download there is a network hang. hw/eepro100.c
has reached the end of the rx descriptor list. When the iPXE driver
replenishes the rx descriptor list we don't kick the QEMU net subsystem
and event loop, thereby leaving the tap netdev without its file
descriptor in select(2).

virtio-net has code to flush the queue and notify the iothread
whenever new receive buffers are added by the guest. That is
fine, and indeed we need to do the same in all other drivers.
However, notifying the iothread should be work for the network
subsystem. And since we are at it we can add a little smartness:
if some of the queued packets already could not be delivered,
there is no need to notify the iothread.

Commit 93bfef4c6e makes qemu-devices
which report the qemu version string to the guest in some way use a
qemu_get_version function which reports a machine-specific version string.
However usb-redir does not expose the qemu version to the guest, only to
the usbredir-host as part of the initial handshake. This can then be logged
on the usbredir-host side for debugging purposes and is otherwise completely
unused! For debugging purposes it is important to have the real qemu version
in there, rather then the machine-specific version.

When removing unseen queue-heads from the async queue list, we should not

While testing q35, I found that windows 7 (specifically, windows 7 ultimate
with sp1 x64), wouldn't install because it can't find the cdrom or disk drive.
The failure message is: 'A required cd/dvd device driver is missing. If you
have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now.'
This can also be reproduced on piix by adding an ahci controller, and
observing that windows 7 does not see any devices behind it.
The problem is that when windows issues a HBA reset, qemu does not reset the
individual ports' PxCMD register. Windows 7 then reads back the PxCMD register
and presumably assumes that the ahci controller has already been initialized.
Windows then never sets up the PxIE register to enable interrupts, and thus it
never gets irqs back when it sends ata device inquiry commands.
This change brings qemu into ahci 1.3 specification compliance.
Section 10.4.3 HBA Reset:
"
When GHC.HR is set to '1', GHC.AE, GHC.IE, the IS register, and all port
register fields (except PxFB/PxFBU/PxCLB/PxCLBU) that are not HwInit in the
HBA's register memory space are reset.
"
I've also re-tested Fedora 16 and 17 to verify that they continue to work with
this change.

This patch splits the xhci_xfer_data function into three.
The xhci_xfer_data function used to do does two things:
(1) copy transfer data between guest memory and a temporary buffer.
(2) report transfer results to the guest using events.
Now we three functions to handle this:
(1) xhci_xfer_map creates a scatter list for the transfer and
uses that (instead of the temporary buffer) to build a
USBPacket.
(2) xhci_xfer_unmap undoes the mapping.
(3) xhci_xfer_report sends out events.
The patch also fixes reporting of transaction errors which must be
reported unconditinally, not only in case the guest asks for it
using the ISP flag.

Now that the underlying cause is fixed by the "usb: Halt ep queue and

is no longer needed.
Not only is it not needed, it causes us to see cancellations (unlinks)
