[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] ui/cocoa.m: add Speed menu

[Programmingkid]

Programs running inside of QEMU can sometimes use more CPU time than is really
needed. To solve this problem, we just need to throttle the virtual CPU. This
feature will stop laptops from burning up. 

This patch adds a menu called Speed that has menu items from 100% to 1% that
represent the speed options. 100% is full speed and 1% is slowest.

v2 changes:
Fixed missing space with 'if' and 'for' structures.
Fixed tab damage.
Use loop to create menu items.
Changed name of menu items to use percentages.
Use tags to determine selected menu item.

Thanks for this patch. I have a few minor tweaks to suggest
below, but it mostly looks good.

I'm not sure how smart the Cocoa redraw is going to be about
setting a menu state to a value it's already at. Maybe better:

          /* Unselect the currently selected item */
          for (NSMenuItem *item in [menu itemArray]) {
              if (item.state == NSOnState) {
                  [item setState: NSOffState];
                  break;
              }
          }

I just cribbed the "iterate through an NSArray" syntax off
stackoverflow and have only compile tested it, but it should
work on OSX 10.5 and later and it looks much nicer than using
an integer index.

This is a bit confusing, because "speed" isn't actually a speed,
it's the % of time that the vcpu should be asleep. "throttle_pct"
is a better name.

I think you also might as well pre-calculate the throttle percentage
and use that as the tag value in the menu, since we never use
the tag value for anything else.

You can put the 100% item in the same loop as the others; just have
   if (percentage == 100) {
       [menuItem setState: NSOnState];
   }
in the loop.

You don't need to use "%c" to get a literal % into the format string;
just use "%%".
