This change adds a new member, refresh_rate to QemuUIInfo in
include/ui/console.h. It represents the refresh rate of the
physical display backend, and it is more appropriate than
GUI update interval as the refresh rate which the emulated device
reports:
- sdl may set GUI update interval shorter than the refresh rate
  of the physical display to respond to user-generated events.
- sdl and vnc aggressively changes GUI update interval, but
  a guests is typically not designed to respond to frequent
  refresh rate changes, or frequent "display mode" changes in
  general. The frequency of refresh rate changes of the physical
  display backend matches better to the guest's expectation.

QemuUIInfo also has other members representing "display mode",
which makes it suitable for refresh rate representation. It has
a throttling of update notifications, and prevents frequent changes
of the display mode.

Hmm, I suspect xenfb really wants the actual refresh rate, even in case
vnc/sdl change it dynamically.  Anthony?  Stefano?

I guess we should just leave the update_interval callback as-is, for
those who want know, and use ui_info->refresh_rate for the virtual edid
refresh rate (which may not match the actual update interval in case of
dynamic changes).  Adding a comment explaining the difference to
console.h is a good idea too.

Otherwise looks good to me overall.  Splitting the ui/gtk update to a
separate patch is probably a good idea.

take care,
  Gerd

sdl shortens update_interval to respond to user inputs, but it has
nothing to do with frame buffer. Using ui_info->refresh_rate will
eliminate worthless frame updates even for xenfb in such cases.

xenfb has a behavior similar to virtio-gpu. Instead of generating
interrupts, they just tell the refresh rate to the guest and expect
the guest to provide a frame buffer by itself. I think the dynamic
display mode change is also problematic for xenfb if the guest driver
uses the information (although the Linux driver does not use it at
least.) It is possible to have both of the refresh rate member in
QemuUIInfo and update_interval, but I don't see a difference
justifying that.

Anyway, I'd also like to hear opinions from Xen developers.

I'll do so when submitting the next version.
