This caps flag is set when the qemu binary supports the option
"hotplug" for pcie-root-port, ioh3420 (Intel pcie-root-port) and
xio3130-downstream (Intel pcie-downstream-port). If it's available,
it's possible to disable hotplugging/unplugging devices on a
particular port by adding ",hotplug=off" to the qemu device
commandline. This option first appears in qemu-5.0.0.

In a guest with only one vcpu, when pinning the emulator in say CPU184
and the vcpu0 in CPU0 of the host, the user might expect that only
CPU0 and CPU184 of the host will be used by the guest.

The reality is that Libvirt takes some time to honor the emulator
and vcpu pinning, taking care of NUMA constraints first. This will
result in other CPUs of the host being potentially used by the
QEMU thread until the emulator/vcpu pinning is done. The user
then might be confused by the output of 'virsh cpu-stats' in this
scenario, showing around 200 microseconds of cycles being spent
in other CPUs.

Let's document this behavior, which is explained in detail in
Libvirt commit v5.0.0-199-gf136b831, in the cputune section
of formatdomain.html.in.

Add support in the domXML<->native config converter for max_event_channels.
The parser and formater functions for max_grant_frames were reworked to
also parse max_event_channels. In doing so the xenbus controller is added
earlier in the config parsing, requiring a small adjustment to one of the
existing tests. Include a new test for the event channel conversion.

Event channels are like PV interrupts and in conjuction with grant frames
form a data transfer mechanism for PV drivers. They are also used for
inter-processor interrupts. Guests with a large number of vcpus and/or
many PV devices many need to increase the maximum default value of 1023.
For this reason the native Xen config format supports the
'max_event_channels' setting. See xl.cfg(5) man page for more details.

Similar to the existing maxGrantFrames option, add a new xenbus controller
option 'maxEventChannels', allowing to adjust the maximum value via libvirt.

Currently we use the "Virtualization Tools" product in Red Hat Bugzilla
for issue tracking upstream. This changes to point people to GitLab for
issue tracking.

Note that Bugzilla still has plenty of bugs present against libvirt.
Triaging these to determine what is still valid will be a separate
exercise. Bugzilla will be locked to prevent creation of new issues
meanwhile.

To encourage contributors to make changes to the main website, add a
footer link to every page which links to the corresponding source file
in git. With gitlab, they are able to edit content directly in the web
browser and then submit a merge request. This gives a way to contribute
content that is arguably easier than our wiki which requires manual
account creation, while this will also benefit from maintainer review.

CPU models defined in the cpu_map can use signature/@stepping attribute
to match a limited set of stepping numbers. The value is a bitmap for
bits 0..15 each corresponding to a single stepping value. For example,
stepping='4-6,9' will match 4, 5, 6, and 9. Omitting the attribute is
equivalent to stepping='0-15'.
