• This patch allows the use a host_device as the destination for "qemu-img
    convert".
    
    I added a ->bdrv_create function host_device.  It merely verifies that
    the device exists and is large enough.
    
    A check is needed in the qemu-img convert loop to ensure that we write
    out all 0 sectors to the host_device.  Otherwise they end up with stale
    garbage where all zero sectors were expected.
    
    I also made the check against bdrv_is_allocated enabled for everything
    _except_ host devices, since there is no point in making the block
    backend write a bunch of zeros just so that we can memcmp them
    immediately afterwards.  Host devices can't benefit from this because
    there is no way to differentiate between a sector being unallocated
    because it was never written, or because it was written with all zeros
    and then made a trip through qemu-img convert.
    
    Finally, there is an unrelated fix for a typo in the error message
    printed if the destination device does not support ->bdrv_create.

  • Introduce noreturn attribute and attach it to cpu_loop_exit as well as
    interrupt/exception helpers for i386. This avoids a bunch of gcc4
    warnings.
    
    [ Note that this patch comes with a workaround to include qemu-common.h
    even in cases where is currently causes conflicts with dyngen-exec.h.
    I've been told that these conflicts will get resolved in the future
    (/me will try to have a look as well - as time permits). ]
