Cover letter [PATCH 0/5] qemu: IDE/ATAPI emulation reliability fixes

The following patch series implements fixes to the IDE/ATAPI emulation in qemu which are already committed upstream or proposed for inclusion; including 2 serious regressions that result in availability and data loss problems when using OpenSolaris or FreeBSD guests (at least) by the first 2:

Patch 1/5 : fixes GET_CONFIGURATION to allow OpenSolaris cdrom access Patch 2/5 : fixes IDE sector write operations resulting in data lost Patch 3/5 : enables ACPI interrupts
Patch 4/5 : uses DVD-ROM as model name for INQUIRY and IDENTIFY DEVICE Patch 5/5 : removes obsolete triton chip support

They had been tested in Gentoo Linux 2007.0 amd64 using an Intel Core 2 6320 host and several different versions of FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Linux, OpenSolaris and Windows 2000 guests
