[libvirt] [PATCH 0/2] Allow usage of unpriv_sgio for SCSI generic hostdev

[John Ferlan]

In what is perhaps a couple lifetimes ago at this point, patches
were posted and "mostly" all eventually accepted upstream to support
unpriv_sgio on SCSI generic hostdev devices. Since the needed parts
of the functionality from the kernel perspective were not yet present
upstream, a couple of the patches were not accepted. See:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2015-July/msg00204.html

and in particular patches 9 and 10. Since that time it seems things
have changed and this essentially reposts those two patches with
some minor adjustments in logic in order to "restore" the support.
There are lots of interesting tidbits in unreadable by the general
public bz's, so I won't include links here.

  qemu: Add ability to set sgio values for hostdev
  qemu: Add check for unpriv sgio for SCSI generic host device
