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.

505# @block-latency-histogram-set:
506#
507# Manage read, write and flush latency histograms for the device.

509# If only @id parameter is specified, remove all present latency histograms
510# for the device. Otherwise, add/reset some of (or all) latency histograms.
511#
512# @id: The name or QOM path of the guest device.
513#
514# @boundaries: list of interval boundary values (see description in
515#              BlockLatencyHistogramInfo definition). If specified, all
516#              latency histograms are removed, and empty ones created for all
517#              io types with intervals corresponding to @boundaries (except for
518#              io types, for which specific boundaries are set through the
519#              following parameters).

521# @boundaries-read: list of interval boundary values for read latency
522#                   histogram. If specified, old read latency histogram is
523#                   removed, and empty one created with intervals
524#                   corresponding to @boundaries-read. The parameter has higher
525#                   priority then @boundaries.

527# @boundaries-write: list of interval boundary values for write latency
528#                    histogram.
