schemas: Introduce disk type NVMe
There is this class of PCI devices that act like disks: NVMe. Therefore, they are both PCI devices and disks. While we already have <hostdev/> (and can assign a NVMe device to a domain successfully) we don't have disk representation. There are three problems with PCI assignment in case of a NVMe device: 1) domains with <hostdev/> can't be migrated 2) NVMe device is assigned whole, there's no way to assign only a namespace 3) Because hypervisors see <hostdev/> they don't put block layer on top of it - users don't get all the fancy features like snapshots NVMe namespaces are way of splitting one continuous NVDIMM memory into smaller ones, effectively creating smaller NVMe-s (which can then be partitioned, LVMed, etc.) Because of all of this the following XML was chosen to model a NVMe device: <disk type='nvme' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source type='pci' managed='yes' namespace='1'> <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </source> <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/> </disk> Signed-off-by: NMichal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: NCole Robinson <crobinso@redhat.com>
