This add the new virtio-scsi controller support.
http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/VirtioSCSI
Guest need kernel >= 3.4 to support. Windows drivers are also available in last virtio-win
Advantages :
- true scsi controller.(like lsi but a lot faster, around 5% slower than virtio-blk)
- multiples disk by controller (256 for now)
- scsi passthrough
- discard support (great for ssd or thinp storages)
- bootable
Hotplug is not yet available in 1.1. (already available in git)
to define lsi or virtio-scsi-pci controller for scsi disk:
scsihw: lsi|virtio-scsi-pci
default is lsi if not defined.
A megasas controller is comming form qemu 1.2, so we'll able to simply add it in the list of scsi controllers
lsi0 and lsi1 controllers have been renamed to generic scsihw0 and scsihw1,
so we can use them for both lsi or virtio-scsi controller type. (and use same pci slot addr).

Currently we only find a volume size by using qemu-img info (in file_size_info).
This doesn't works with "virtual" storage like sheepdog,rbd,iscsidirect,nexenta.
This also doesn't work with classic iscsi direct plugin.
So, we need to define a method for each plugin.

qmp response could me more than 1 json.
we can have 1 json with event info, and 1 json with return infos.
We die if we receive an error message in response.

this add qmp socket to kvm process
and anew sub copied from vm_monitor_command:
vm_qmp_command ($vmid, $cmdstr, $nocheck)
$cmdstr could be a simple command to be executed, without argument
vm_qmp_command($vmid,"stop");
or a complex hash with arguments
$cmdstr->{execute}="eject";
$cmdstr->{arguments}->{device}="ide1-cd0";
vm_qmp_command($vmid,$cmdstr);
documentation about qmp commands is here
http://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=blob;f=qmp-commands.hx;h=db980fa811325aeca8ad43472ba468702d4a25a2;hb=HEAD
Code must be polish a little more, but it's a start.

This add disk io limit to drive options.
I also add the qemu monitor command, but I din't have added yet to Qemu.pm
>From qemu mailing:
Some available features follow as below:
(1) global bps limit.
-drive bps=xxx in bytes/s
(2) only read bps limit
-drive bps_rd=xxx in bytes/s
(3) only write bps limit
-drive bps_wr=xxx in bytes/s
(4) global iops limit
-drive iops=xxx in ios/s
(5) only read iops limit
-drive iops_rd=xxx in ios/s
(6) only write iops limit
-drive iops_wr=xxx in ios/s
(7) the combination of some limits.
-drive bps=xxx,iops=xxx
Known Limitations:
(1) #1 can not coexist with #2, #3
(2) #4 can not coexist with #5, #6
(3) When bps/iops limits are specified to a small value such as 511 bytes/s,
this VM will hang up. We are considering how to handle this senario.

Split out code to delete drive into delete_drive()
Always hotplug after config is written and reloaded.
Do not revert config if hotplug fails.
Do not safe config in add_unused_volume.
