Fiona Ebner 5b15e2ecaf update submodule and patches to 7.1.0
Notable changes:
* The only big change is the switch to using a custom QIOChannel for
  savevm-async, because the previously used QEMUFileOps was dropped.

  Changes to the current implementation:

  * Switch to vector based methods as required for an IO channel. For
    short reads the passed-in IO vector is stuffed with zeroes at the
    end, just to be sure.

  * For reading: The documentation in include/io/channel.h states that
    at least one byte should be read, so also error out when whe are
    at the very end instead of returning 0.

  * For reading: Fix off-by-one error when request goes beyond end.

    The wrong code piece was:
    if ((pos + size) > maxlen) {
        size = maxlen - pos - 1;
    }

    Previously, the last byte would not be read. It's actually
    possible to get a snapshot .raw file that has content all the way
    up the final 512 byte (= BDRV_SECTOR_SIZE) boundary without any
    trailing zero bytes (I wrote a script to do it).

    Luckily, it didn't cause a real issue, because qemu_loadvm_state()
    is not interested in the final (i.e. QEMU_VM_VMDESCRIPTION)
    section. The buffer for reading it is simply freed up afterwards
    and the function will assume that it read the whole section, even
    if that's not the case.

  * For writing: Make use of the generated blk_pwritev() wrapper
    instead of manually wrapping the coroutine to simplify and save a
    few lines.

* Adapt to changed interfaces for blk_{pread,pwrite}:
  * a9262f551e ("block: Change blk_{pread,pwrite}() param order")
  * 3b35d4542c ("block: Add a 'flags' param to blk_pread()")
  * bf5b16fa40 ("block: Make blk_{pread,pwrite}() return 0 on success")
  Those changes especially affected the qemu-img dd patches, because
  the context also changed, but also some of our block drivers used
  the functions.

* Drop qemu-common.h include: it got renamed after essentially
  everything was moved to other headers. The only remaining user I
  could find for things dropped from the header between 7.0 and 7.1
  was qemu_get_vm_name() in the iscsi-initiatorname patch, but it
  already includes the header to which the function was moved.

Subject: [PATCH] PVE: [Compat]: 4.0 used balloon qemu-4-0-config-size false
here
The underlying issue why this change from upstream to us arised in
the first place is that QEMU 4.0 was already released at the point we
run into this migration issue, so we did the then obvious fallback to
false for virtio-balloon-device qemu-4-0-config-size.
QEMU made that switch back in 4.1, where it now uses a backward
compatible mechanism to detect if the bigger CFG sizes should be
used, i.e., checking the VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_PAGE_POISON or
VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_FREE_PAGE_HINT balloon feature flags.
As for them, upstream released version 4.0 had this to true they keep
it to true in their compatibility record for the 4.0 machine, to
allow live migrations from 4.0 to 4.1.
As for us, downstream released version 4.0 (first public release of
this QEMU) had this to false, we change it back to false again, for
the same reason.
