This option allows or disallows detection of zero-writes if it is set to
"on" or "off", respectively.  It can be also set to "unmap" in which
case it will try discarding that part of image based on the value of the
"discard" option.

This new listen type is currently supported only by spice graphics.
It's introduced to make it easier and clearer specify to not listen
anywhere in order to start a guest with OpenGL support.

The old way to do this was set spice graphics autoport='no' and don't
specify any ports.  The new way is to use <listen type='none'/>.  In
order to be able to migrate to old libvirt the migratable XML will be
generated without the listen element and with autoport='no'.  Also the
old configuration will be automatically converted to the this listen
type.

VNC graphics already supports sockets but only via 'socket' attribute.
This patch coverts that attribute into listen type 'socket'.

For backward compatibility we need to handle listen type 'socket' and 'socket'
attribute properly to support old XMLs and new XMLs.  If both are provided they
have to match, if only one of them is provided we need to be able to parse that
configuration too.

To not break migration back to old libvirt if the socket is provided by user we
need to generate migratable XML without the listen element and use only 'socket'
attribute.

Hand-entering indexes for 20 PCI controllers is not as tedious as
manually determining and entering their PCI addresses, but it's still
annoying, and the algorithm for determining the proper index is
incredibly simple (in all cases except one) - just pick the lowest
unused index.

The one exception is USB2 controllers because multiple controllers in
the same group have the same index. For these we look to see if 1) the
most recently added USB controller is also a USB2 controller, and 2)
the group *that* controller belongs to doesn't yet have a controller
of the exact model we're just now adding - if both are true, the new
controller gets the same index, but in all other cases we just assign
the lowest unused index.

With this patch in place and combined with the automatic PCI address
assignment, we can define a PCIe switch with several ports like this:

  <controller type='pci' model='pcie-root-port'/>
  <controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-upstream-port'/>
  <controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-downstream-port'/>
  <controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-downstream-port'/>
  <controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-downstream-port'/>
  <controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-downstream-port'/>
  <controller type='pci' model='pcie-switch-downstream-port'/>
  ...

These will each get a unique index, and PCI addresses that connect
them together appropriately with no pesky numbers required.

Add a new element to <domain> XML:
<os>
  <acpi>
    <table type="slic">/path/to/acpi/table/file</table>
  </acpi>
</os>

table blob.

Prior to this, <address type='pci'/> wasn't allowed when parsing
(domain+bus+slot+function needed to be a "valid" PCI address, meaning
that at least one of domain/bus/slot had to be non-0), the RNG
required bus to be specified, and if type was set to PCI when
formatting, domain+bus+slot+function would always be output.

This makes all the address attributes optional during parse and RNG
validation, and suppresses domain+bus+slot+function if domain+bus+slot
are all 0 (NB: if d+b+s are all 0, any value for function is
nonsensical as that will never happen in the real world, and after
the next patch we will always assign a real working address to any
empty PCI address before it is ever output to anywhere).

Note that explicitly setting all attributes to 0 is equivalent to
setting none of them, which is okay, since 0000:00:00 is reserved in
any PCI bus setup, and can't be used anyway.

The support was added by commit 937ebba0 which was released in
1.3.3.

We support omitting listen attribute of graphics element so we should
also support omitting address attribute of listen element.  This patch
also updates libvirt to always add a listen element into domain XML
except for VNC graphics if socket attribute is specified.

Missing a close single quote and a 'be' before used.

My brain suffered a time warp and I got the version number wrong.

SRIOV VFs used in macvtap passthrough mode can take advantage of the
SRIOV card's transparent vlan tagging. All the code was there to set
the vlan tag, and it has been used for SRIOV VFs used for hostdev
interfaces for several years, but for some reason, the vlan tag for
macvtap passthrough devices was stubbed out with a -1.

This patch moves a bit of common validation down to a lower level
(virNetDevReplaceNetConfig()) so it is shared by hostdev and macvtap
modes, and updates the macvtap caller to actually send the vlan config
instead of -1.

Add the ability to add an 'iothread' to the controller which will be how
virtio-scsi-pci and virtio-scsi-ccw iothreads have been implemented in qemu.

Describe the new functionality and add tests to parse/validate that the
new attribute can be added.

Reformat to use <dt> elements to make it a bit easier to read.

This adds a ports= attribute to usb controller XML, like

  <controller type='usb' model='nec-xhci' ports='8'/>

This maps to:

  qemu -device nec-usb-xhci,p2=8,p3=8

Meaning, 8 ports that support both usb2 and usb3 devices. Gerd
suggested to just expose them as one knob.

If a panic device is being defined without a model in a domain
the default value is always overwritten with model ISA. An ISA
bus does not exist on S390 and therefore specifying a panic device
results in an unsupported configuration.
Since the S390 architecture inherently provides a crash detection
capability the panic device should be defined in the domain xml.

This patch adds an s390 panic device model and prevents setting a
device address on it.

This reverts commit 690969af, which
added the domain config parts to support a "peer" attribute in domain
interface <ip> elements.

It's being removed temporarily for the release of libvirt 1.3.4
because the feature doesn't work, and there are concerns that it may
need to be modified in an externally visible manner which could create
backward compatibility problems.

Currently we only allow /dev/random and /dev/hwrng as host input
for <rng><backend model='random'/> device. This was added after
various upstream discussions in commit 4932ef45

However this restriction has generated quite a few complaints over
the years, so a new discussion was initiated:

http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-April/msg00987.html

Several people suggested removing the restriction, and nobody really
spoke up to defend it. So this patch drops the path restriction
entirely

When describing attributes and elements, we mostly stick to
a certain pattern; however, there are a few cases when the
information is not presented in the usual way.

Since there doesn't seem to be any reason not to follow the
tried and true formula, rework those bits to fit the rest of
the documentation.

Most of the time, the <dt> tag is used when providing
documentation for a symbol; enclose symbols in <code> tags to
style them appropriately.

The proper nwfilter docs go into full detail, but we should still
have a brief bit about domain XML in the domain documentation

This controller provides a single PCIe port on a new root. It is
similar to pci-expander-bus, intended to provide a bus that can be
associated with a guest-identifiable NUMA node, but is for
machinetypes with PCIe rather than PCI (e.g. q35-based machinetypes).

Aside from PCIe vs. PCI, the other main difference is that a
pci-expander-bus has a companion pci-bridge that is automatically
attached along with it, but pcie-expander-bus has only a single port,
and that port will only connect to a pcie-root-port, or to a
pcie-switch-upstream-port. In order for the bus to be of any use in
the guest, it must have either a pcie-root-port or a
pcie-switch-upstream-port attached (and one or more
pcie-switch-downstream-ports attached to the
pcie-switch-upstream-port).

This is a standard PCI root bus (not a bridge) that can be added to a
440fx-based domain. Although it uses a PCI slot, this is *not* how it
is connected into the PCI bus hierarchy, but is only used for
control. Each pci-expander-bus provides 32 slots (0-31) that can
accept hotplug of standard PCI devices.

The usefulness of pci-expander-bus relative to a pci-bridge is that
the NUMA node of the bus can be specified with the <node> subelement
of <target>. This gives guest-side visibility to the NUMA node of
attached devices (presuming that management apps only assign a device
to a bus that has a NUMA node number matching the node number of the
device on the host).

Each pci-expander-bus also has a "busNr" attribute. The expander-bus
itself will take the busNr specified, and all buses that are connected
to this bus (including the pci-bridge that is automatically added to
any expander bus of model "pxb" (see the next commit)) will use
busNr+1, busNr+2, etc, and the pci-root (or the expander-bus with next
lower busNr) will use bus numbers lower than busNr.
