15# @BiosAtaTranslation:
16#
17# Policy that BIOS should use to interpret cylinder/head/sector
18# addresses.  Note that Bochs BIOS and SeaBIOS will not actually
19# translate logical CHS to physical; instead, they will use logical
20# block addressing.
21#
22# @auto: If cylinder/heads/sizes are passed, choose between none and LBA
23#        depending on the size of the disk.  If they are not passed,
24#        choose none if QEMU can guess that the disk had 16 or fewer
25#        heads, large if QEMU can guess that the disk had 131072 or
26#        fewer tracks across all heads (i.e. cylinders*heads<131072),
27#        otherwise LBA.
28#
29# @none: The physical disk geometry is equal to the logical geometry.
30#
31# @lba: Assume 63 sectors per track and one of 16, 32, 64, 128 or 255
32#       heads (if fewer than 255 are enough to cover the whole disk
33#       with 1024 cylinders/head).  The number of cylinders/head is
34#       then computed based on the number of sectors and heads.
35#
36# @large: The number of cylinders per head is scaled down to 1024
37#         by correspondingly scaling up the number of heads.
38#
39# @rechs: Same as @large, but first convert a 16-head geometry to
40#         15-head, by proportionally scaling up the number of
41#         cylinders/head.

503# @block-latency-histogram-set:
504#
505# Manage read, write and flush latency histograms for the device.
506#
507# If only @id parameter is specified, remove all present latency histograms
508# for the device. Otherwise, add/reset some of (or all) latency histograms.
509#
510# @id: The name or QOM path of the guest device.
511#
512# @boundaries: list of interval boundary values (see description in
513#              BlockLatencyHistogramInfo definition). If specified, all
514#              latency histograms are removed, and empty ones created for all
515#              io types with intervals corresponding to @boundaries (except for
516#              io types, for which specific boundaries are set through the
517#              following parameters).
518#
519# @boundaries-read: list of interval boundary values for read latency
520#                   histogram. If specified, old read latency histogram is
521#                   removed, and empty one created with intervals
522#                   corresponding to @boundaries-read. The parameter has higher
523#                   priority then @boundaries.
524#
525# @boundaries-write: list of interval boundary values for write latency
526#                    histogram.
527#
528# @boundaries-flush: list of interval boundary values for flush latency
529#                    histogram.

531# Returns: error if device is not found or any boundary arrays are invalid.

535# Example:
536# set new histograms for all io types with intervals
537# [0, 10), [10, 50), [50, 100), [100, +inf):

553# Example:
