qemu-kvm.git stable requests

Howdy,

Apparently there was just the very first case of someone requiring my patch to enable BAR regions < 4k. To enable people to use those devices with a released version, I'd suggest cherry-picking these commits into 0.12-stable:

commit 8845b72377a42443b249360b9cd3d6f1e8cfb097
Author: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
Date:   Thu Dec 17 16:04:44 2009 +0100

commit be5a9efb3359cac07217d477b44f6bd0e17658f0
Author: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com>
Date:   Wed Dec 23 12:07:47 2009 +0200


While at it, I realized that the friendly help output if a device is currently in use by a driver is not available. So I'd also suggest taking those in to -stable:


commit 0cbd39044aa9f6c4462b7783376c894786f8de77
Author: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
Date:   Thu Dec 17 16:04:45 2009 +0100

commit 27a3fa20f302e64fe10d5c2f0f5c73d73e336166
Author: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>
Date:   Thu Dec 17 16:04:46 2009 +0100

These look reasonable (but please include the subject line in the future).

I don't think it's worth the risk of a regression.  One one hand, 
unfriendly help output.  On the other hand, things break, data 
corruption, end of the world.
