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
23#     LBA 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 fewer
26#     tracks across all heads (i.e. cylinders*heads<131072), otherwise
27#     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 with
33#     1024 cylinders/head).  The number of cylinders/head is then
34#     computed based on the number of sectors and heads.
35#
36# @large: The number of cylinders per head is scaled down to 1024 by
37#     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.

512#
513# Manage read, write and flush latency histograms for the device.
514#
515# If only @id parameter is specified, remove all present latency
516# histograms for the device.  Otherwise, add/reset some of (or all)
517# latency histograms.
518#
519# @id: The name or QOM path of the guest device.
520#
521# @boundaries: list of interval boundary values (see description in
522#     BlockLatencyHistogramInfo definition). If specified, all latency
523#     histograms are removed, and empty ones created for all io types
524#     with intervals corresponding to @boundaries (except for io
525#     types, for which specific boundaries are set through the
526#     following parameters).
527#
528# @boundaries-read: list of interval boundary values for read latency
529#     histogram.  If specified, old read latency histogram is removed,
530#     and empty one created with intervals corresponding to
531#     @boundaries-read.  The parameter has higher priority then
532#     @boundaries.
533#
534# @boundaries-write: list of interval boundary values for write
535#     latency histogram.
536#
537# @boundaries-flush: list of interval boundary values for flush
538#     latency histogram.

541#     invalid.

545# Example:
546#
547# set new histograms for all io types with intervals [0, 10), [10,
