[RESEND PATCH 0/1] pc-bios: Support List-Directed IPL from ECKD DASD

[jrossi]

From: Jared Rossi <jrossi@linux.ibm.com>

Add support for List-Directed IPL (LD-IPL) type pointers.

We check for a boot record indicating LD-IPL and use it if it is valid,
otherwise we use the CCW CDL or LDL format as usual. When a block is accessed
during IPL the block number is first calculated based on the cylinder, head,
and record numbers included in the block pointer; if LD-IPL has been initiated
then each pointer will be interpreted using the new format.

For simplicity, there is no choice presented to forcibly use CCW-IPL if LD-IPL
is available.  Because both sets of pointers ultimately go to the same
kernel/initrd, using CCW- or LD-IPL is transparent to the user.

One aspect of the user experience that does change is the availability of the
interactive boot menu when a loadparm is not specified.  For the existing
CCW-IPL, when the user does not specify a loadparm they are presented with a
list of boot options; however, this list is only written in the old style
pointers.  Therefore, if no loadparm is specified, and LD-IPL is supported, the
default boot option will be used automatically.

[RESEND PATCH 1/1] pc-bios: Add support for List-Directed IPL from ECKD DASD

[jrossi]

From: Jared Rossi <jrossi@linux.ibm.com>

Check for a List Directed IPL Boot Record, which would supersede the CCW type
entries.  If the record is valid, proceed to use the new style pointers
and perform LD-IPL. Each block pointer is interpreted as either an LD-IPL
pointer or a legacy CCW pointer depending on the type of IPL initiated.

In either case CCW- or LD-IPL is transparent to the user and will boot the same
image regardless of which set of pointers is used. Because the interactive boot
menu is only written with the old style pointers, the menu will be disabled for
List Directed IPL from ECKD DASD.

If the LD-IPL fails, retry the IPL using the CCW type pointers.

If no LD-IPL boot record is found, simply perform CCW type IPL as usual.

Thanks for the heads up, Thomas.

I've been using this on a z16 system with SE guests (with newer zipl to
actually write out LD-IPL data; something that should have been
mentioned here), and it seems to behave fine. I gave a quick glance
through the code, and while nothing jumped out at me this code is
rather opaque. I realize this is already queued by now but I'll still
go through it later this week so it gets another set of eyeballs.

It would have been nice to split the rework of eckd_block_num() and 
eckd_valid_address() into a separate patch first to ease review.

I know this is pre-existing in the code, but I'd be fine if we'd drop the 
superfluous parantheses here while you're touching this line anyway.

Don't we need some alignment for tmp_sec? Would it be possible to use the 
sec[] buffer for this instead?

(Hmm, we're also doing this in the zipl_run() function ... so it likely 
works ... still, it looks fragile to me)

Ok, the patch survived my local regression testing, and it also looks good 
enough to me for inclusion, so I'll queue it for my
final pull request before the QEMU 8.0 soft freeze tomorrow.
