[PULL 1/9] qga/qapi-schema: Drop obsolete note on "unsupported" errors

[Markus Armbruster]

The note talks about "unsupported" errors and QERR_UNSUPPORTED.  The
former is vague, and the latter makes sense only in C, not in external
interface documentation.  Fortunately, we don't have to address this
anymore: recent merge commit 3b5efc553eb got rid of these errors.
Delete the note.

[PULL 2/9] qga: Improve error for guest-set-user-password parameter @crypted

[Markus Armbruster]

The Windows version of guest-set-user-password rejects argument
"crypted": true with the rather useless "this feature or command is
not currently supported".  Improve to "'crypted' must be off on this
host".

QERR_UNSUPPORTED is now unused.  Drop.

[PULL 4/9] block: Improve errors about block sizes

[Markus Armbruster]

Block sizes need to be a power of two between 512 and an arbitrary
limit, currently 2MiB.

Commit 5937835ac4c factored block size checking out of set_blocksize()
into new check_block_size(), for reuse in block/export/.

Its two error messages are okay for the original purpose:

    $ qemu-system-x86_64 -device ide-hd,physical_block_size=1
    qemu-system-x86_64: -device ide-hd,physical_block_size=1: Property .physical_block_size doesn't take value 1 (minimum: 512, maximum: 2097152)
    $ qemu-system-x86_64 -device ide-hd,physical_block_size=513
    qemu-system-x86_64: -device ide-hd,physical_block_size=513: Property .physical_block_size doesn't take value '513', it's not a power of 2

They're mildly off for block exports:

    $ qemu-storage-daemon --blockdev node-name=nod0,driver=file,filename=foo.img --export type=vduse-blk,id=exp0,node-name=nod0,name=foo,logical-block-size=1
    qemu-storage-daemon: --export type=vduse-blk,id=exp0,node-name=nod0,name=foo,logical-block-size=1: Property exp0.logical-block-size doesn't take value 1 (minimum: 512, maximum: 2097152)

The error message talks about a property.  CLI options like --export
don't have properties, they have parameters.

Replace the two error messages by a single one that's okay for both
purposes.  Looks like this:

    qemu-storage-daemon: --export type=vduse-blk,id=exp0,node-name=nod0,name=foo,logical-block-size=1: parameter logical-block-size must be a power of 2 between 512 and 2097152

[PULL 6/9] target/i386/cpu: Avoid mixing signed and unsigned in property setters

[Markus Armbruster]

Properties "family", "model", and "stepping" are visited as signed
integers.  They are backed by bits in CPUX86State member
@cpuid_version.  The code to extract and insert these bits mixes
signed and unsigned.  Not actually wrong, but avoiding such mixing is
good practice.

Visit them as unsigned integers instead.

This adds a few mildly ugly cast in arguments of error_setg().  The
next commit will get rid of them again.

Property "tsc-frequency" is also visited as signed integer.  The value
ultimately flows into the kernel, where it is 31 bits unsigned.  The
QEMU code freely mixes int, uint32_t, int64_t.  I elect not to attempt
draining this swamp today.

[PULL 7/9] target/i386/cpu: Improve errors for out of bounds property values

[Markus Armbruster]

The error message for a "stepping" value that is out of bounds is a
bit odd:

    $ qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu qemu64,stepping=16
    qemu-system-x86_64: can't apply global qemu64-x86_64-cpu.stepping=16: Property .stepping doesn't take value 16 (minimum: 0, maximum: 15)

The "can't apply global" part is an unfortunate artifact of -cpu's
implementation.  Left for another day.

The remainder feels overly verbose.  Change it to

    qemu64-x86_64-cpu: can't apply global qemu64-x86_64-cpu.stepping=16: parameter 'stepping' can be at most 15

Likewise for "family", "model", and "tsc-frequency".

[PULL 8/9] hw/intc/openpic: Improve errors for out of bounds property values

[Markus Armbruster]

The error message doesn't matter much, as the "openpic" device isn't
user-creatable.  But it's the last use of
QERR_PROPERTY_VALUE_OUT_OF_RANGE, which has to go.  Change the message
just like the previous commit did for x86 CPUs.
