The following patch series implements fixes to the IDE/ATAPI emulation
in qemu which are already committed upstream or proposed for inclusion; 
including 2 serious regressions that result in availability and data loss
problems when using OpenSolaris or FreeBSD guests (at least) by the first 2:

  Patch 1/5 : fixes GET_CONFIGURATION to allow OpenSolaris cdrom access 
  Patch 2/5 : fixes IDE sector write operations resulting in data lost
  Patch 3/5 : enables ACPI interrupts
  Patch 4/5 : uses DVD-ROM as model name for INQUIRY and IDENTIFY DEVICE
  Patch 5/5 : removes obsolete triton chip support

They had been tested in Gentoo Linux 2007.0 amd64 using an Intel Core 2
6320 host and several different versions of FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Linux,
OpenSolaris and Windows 2000 guests

The following patch complements "Partial IDE DVD emulation", added in ide.c
revision 1.66 and that was generating the following timeouts for OpenSolaris
guests when trying to access the ATAPI cdrom (during installation for example):

  WARNING: /pci@0,0/pci-ide@1,1/ide@1 (ata1);
          timeout: abort request, target=0 lun=0
  WARNING: /pci@0,0/pci-ide@1,1/ide@1 (ata1):
          timeout: abort device, target=0 lun=0
  WARNING: /pci@0,0/pci-ide@1,1/ide@1 (ata1):
          timeout: reset target, target=0 lun=0
  WARNING: /pci@0,0/pci-ide@1,1/ide@1 (ata1):
          timeout: reset bus, target=0 lun=0

The changes required to the "GET CONFIGURATION" implementation are :

* recognize and honor "Allocation Length" command parameter
* only set "current profile" for the response if a profile is current (either
CD or DVD loaded)
* calculate "data length" including all headers
* refactor code and add comments to help document references to all implemented
standards (ATAPI-4, SPC-3 and MMC-6)

This patch revert "Last AIO Patch" as requested by Fabrice, it is incomplete
and breaks other (non-Windows) systems.

originally from qemu CVS :

  cvs -q diff -r1.69 -r1.70 hw/ide.c

Data corruption resulting in kernel panics and unbootable images is experienced
frequently with FreeBSD and OpenSolaris guests unless committed

Thanks; the last time I tried to merge qemu I had several regressions. 
I'll try again soon once these are merged (or merge them myself if
qemu-devel takes too long).

some of the patches I cherry picked from qemu cvs are part of the last import
in the qemu-vendor-drops branch but since they had not been yet merged (as 
you mention) I though it was better to cherry pick them from now to expedite
this patch.

for qemu is probably not that much of a priority as they already have the
patches, most of them committed and the bugs are only in their development
tree which they don't release anyway, for kvm it is IMHO different since the
bugs are on released code with patch 2 (which ate 3 of my FreeBSD guests with
unrecoverable images which wouldn't even have a valid partition table) being
around since the qemu import of Oct 1 and therefore part of kvm-45 and all
releases up to the date.

I understand though why you wouldn't like to divert from qemu, and I'll do my
best to try to get qemu to commit those patches so that any future conflicts
are resolved automatically, but as I said before, qemu just had different
priorities.

You make some good points;  I'll respin the merge and this time bisect
the problems and revert the offending patches.  I'll add these patches
as well if qemu hasn't merged it by that time.
