    Introduce NVDIMM memory model · b4e8a49f
    Michal Privoznik 提交于
    NVDIMM is new type of memory introduced into QEMU 2.6. The idea
    is that we have a Non-Volatile memory module that keeps the data
    persistent across domain reboots.
    
    At the domain XML level, we already have some representation of
    'dimm' modules. Long story short, NVDIMM will utilize the
    existing <memory/> element that lives under <devices/> by adding
    a new attribute 'nvdimm' to the existing @model and introduce a
    new <path/> element for <source/> while reusing other fields. The
    resulting XML would appear as:
    
        <memory model='nvdimm'>
          <source>
            <path>/tmp/nvdimm</path>
          </source>
          <target>
            <size unit='KiB'>523264</size>
            <node>0</node>
          </target>
          <address type='dimm' slot='0'/>
        </memory>
    
    So far, this is just a XML parser/formatter extension. QEMU
    driver implementation is in the next commit.
