[Qemu-devel] [RFT][PATCH 00/15] HPET cleanups, fixes, enhancements

[Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@web.de>]

Not yet for merge (unless I happened to forgot adding bugs), just a
Request For Testing (and for review, of course). This series grew beyond
my initial plans and my current testing capabilities, Linux and Win7 are
apparently still fine, but that's all I can say so far.

To summarize contributions to the HPET model:
 - fixed host memory corruptions by guest (patch 1, likely stable stuff)
 - coding style cleanup
 - qdev conversion
 - detangling of RTC from HPET dependencies, specifically via providing
   "feedback" IRQ handlers to easy IRQ coalescing workaround
   implementations
 - support for level-triggered HPET IRQs (untested - does anyone know of
   a user?)
 - up to 32 comparators (configurable via qdev prop)
 - MSI support (configurable via qdev prop)
 - dropped obsolete "info hpet" and "query-hpet"

Yet missing:
 - IRQ coalescing workaround
 - maybe some refactoring to easy compile-time disabling (Juan?)
 - build once (I leave this to Blue Swirl :) )
 - multiple HPET blocks (no urgent need yet)

Please give this hell.
