[Xen-devel] [PATCH][RFC] libxl: Add AHCI support for upstream qemu



Usage:
ahci=0|1 (default=0)

If enabled adds ich9 disk controller in ahci mode and uses it with
upstream qemu to emulate disks instead of ide.
It doesn't support cdroms which still use ide (cdroms will use "-device
ide-cd" as new qemu parameters)
Ahci requires new qemu parameters but for now other emulated disks cases
remains with old ones because automatic bus selection seems bugged in
qemu using new parameters on ide controller.

NOTES:
This patch is a only a fast draft for testing.
Tested with ubuntu 15.04 hvm, windows 7 and windows 8 domUs.
Doc entry and libxl.h define should be added, I'll do.
Other emulated disks cases should be converted to use new qemu
parameters but probably a fix in qemu is needed.

Any comment is appreciated.
