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

# @blockdev-open-tray:

# - if the guest has locked the tray, @force is false and the guest does not
#   respond to the eject request

##
# @block_set_io_throttle:
#
# Change I/O throttle limits for a block drive.
#
# Since QEMU 2.4, each device with I/O limits is member of a throttle
# group.
#
# If two or more devices are members of the same group, the limits
# will apply to the combined I/O of the whole group in a round-robin
# fashion. Therefore, setting new I/O limits to a device will affect
# the whole group.
#
# The name of the group can be specified using the 'group' parameter.
# If the parameter is unset, it is assumed to be the current group of
# that device. If it's not in any group yet, the name of the device
# will be used as the name for its group.
#
# The 'group' parameter can also be used to move a device to a
# different group. In this case the limits specified in the parameters
# will be applied to the new group only.
#
# I/O limits can be disabled by setting all of them to 0. In this case
# the device will be removed from its group and the rest of its
# members will not be affected. The 'group' parameter is ignored.
#
# Returns: - Nothing on success
#          - If @device is not a valid block device, DeviceNotFound
#
# Since: 1.1
