updated. I've identified only a couple of features/bug fixes
worth mentioning that were not mentioned yet.

* conf: add control over COW for storage pool directories
The storage pool code now attempts to disable COW by default on btrfs, but
management applications may wish to override this behaviour. This is now
possible via new ``cow`` element.

* qemu: consider available CPUs in ``vcpupin/emulatorpin`` output
This patch changes the default bitmap of ``vcpupin`` and ``emulatorpin``,
in the case of domains with static vcpu placement, all available CPUs
instead of all possible CPUs are returned making these APIs consistent with
the behavior of ``vcpuinfo``.

* qemu: Don't change ownership of restore file
When restoring a domain from a file, Libvirt no longer changes its ownership.
* qemu: Set SPAPR TPM default to 2.0 and prevent 1.2 choice
The firmware (SLOF) on QEMU for ppc64 does not support TPM 1.2, so prevent
the choice of TPM 1.2 when the SPAPR device model is chosen and use a
default of '2.0' (TPM 2) for the backend.
* qemu: Do not set ``//cpu/@migratable`` for running domains
Libvirt release of 6.4.0 started to fill the default value for
``//cpu/@migratable`` attribute according to QEMU support. However, active
domains either have the migratable attribute already set or they were
started with older Libvirt which doesn't support the attribute.
