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

496#              BlockLatencyHistogramInfo definition). If specified, all
497#              latency histograms are removed, and empty ones created for all
498#              io types with intervals corresponding to @boundaries (except for

503#                   histogram. If specified, old read latency histogram is
504#                   removed, and empty one created with intervals
505#                   corresponding to @boundaries-read. The parameter has higher
