[PATCH v1 0/1] Q35 Support



Q35 support using Qemu's device emulation.  I based the patches from 2017
found on the mailing list here:
https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2018-03/msg01176.html

I have been using a version of these patches on Xen 4.16 with Qemu
version 4.1 for over 6 months.  The guest VMs are very stable, and PCIe
PT is working as was designed (all of the PCIe devices are on the root
PCIe device).  I have successfully passed through GPUs, NICs, etc. I was
asked by those in the community to attempt to once again upstream the
patches.  I have them working with Seabios and OVMF (patches are needed
to OVMF which I will be sending to the mailing list).  I will be sending
my Qemu patches to their mailing list in hopes of getting everything
upstreamed. The Qemu patches allow for the xenvbd to properly unplug the
AHCI SATA device, and all xen pv windows drivers work as intended.

I used the original author of the patches to get a majority of this to work:
Alexey Gerasimenko.  I fixed the patches to be in line with the upstream
Qemu and Xen versions.  Any original issues may still exist; however, I
am sure in time they can be improved. If the code doesn't exist then they 
can't be actively looked at by the community.

I am not an expert on the Q35 chipset or PCIe technology.  This is my
first patch to this mailing list.

Recap of changes to Qemu, only here for reference:
  pc/xen: Xen Q35 support: provide IRQ handling for PCI devices
  pc/q35: Apply PCI bus BSEL property for Xen PCI device hotplug
  acpi/ich9: Multiple fixes for S3 support
  acpi/pcihp: Allow for machines to hotplug when using Xen
  isa/lpc_ich9: Write lpc configuration for xen IRQs
  q35/acpi/xen: Provide ACPI PCI hotplug interface for Xen on Q35
  q35/xen: Add Xen platform device support for Q35
  q35: Fix incorrect values for PCIEXBAR masks
  xen/pt: XenHostPCIDevice: provide functions for PCI Capabilities and
    PCIe Extended Capabilities enumeration
  xen/pt: avoid reading PCIe device type and cap version multiple times
  xen/pt: determine the legacy/PCIe mode for a passed through device
  xen/pt: Xen PCIe passthrough support for Q35: bypass PCIe topology
    check
  xen/pt: add support for PCIe Extended Capabilities and larger config
    space
  xen/pt: handle PCIe Extended Capabilities Next register
  xen/pt: allow to hide PCIe Extended Capabilities
  xen/pt: add Vendor-specific PCIe Extended Capability descriptor and
    sizing
  xen/pt: add fixed-size PCIe Extended Capabilities descriptors
  xen/pt: add AER PCIe Extended Capability descriptor and sizing
  xen/pt: add descriptors and size calculation for
    RCLD/ACS/PMUX/DPA/MCAST/TPH/DPC PCIe Extended Capabilities
  xen/pt: add Resizable BAR PCIe Extended Capability descriptor and
    sizing
  xen/pt: add VC/VC9/MFVC PCIe Extended Capabilities descriptors and
    sizing
