The <pre/> section is rendered as-is on the page. That is, if all
the lines are prefixed with 4 spaces the rendered page will also
have them. Problem is if we put a box around such <pre/> because
the content might not fix into it.

Our documentation for features was rather sparse; this fleshes out
more of the details for other existing capabilities (and cost me
some time trawling git history).

At the moment we are missing even basic documentation on our
capabilities XML. Without demand on completeness, I'm
reorganizing the document structure and adding very basic
documentation to two major components of the capabilities XML.
These stubs are intended to be enhanced in the future.

The rule generating the HTML docs passing the --html flag
to xsltproc. This makes it use the legacy HTML parser, which
either ignores or tries to fix all sorts of broken XML tags.
There's no reason why we should be writing broken XML in
the first place, so removing --html and adding the XHTML
doctype to all files forces us to create good XML.
This adds the XHTML doc type and fixes many, many XML tag
problems it exposes.

If we ensure that virNodeSuspendGetTargetMask always resets
*bitmask to zero upon failure, there is no need for the
powerMgmt_valid field.
* src/util/virnodesuspend.c: Ensure *bitmask is zero upon
failure
* src/conf/capabilities.c, src/conf/capabilities.h: Remove
powerMgmt_valid field
* src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c: Remove powerMgmt_valid
The capabilities XML uses the x86 specific terms 'S3', 'S4'
and 'Hybrid-Syspend'. Switch it to use the same terminology
as the API constants and virsh options, eg 'suspend_mem'
'suspend_disk' and 'suspend_hybrid'
* docs/formatcaps.html.in, docs/schemas/capability.rng,
src/conf/capabilities.c: Rename suspend constants
Some systems support a feature known as 'Hybrid-Suspend', apart from the
usual system-wide sleep states such as Suspend-to-RAM (S3) or Suspend-to-Disk
(S4). Add the functionality to discover this power management feature and
export it in the capabilities XML under the <power_management> tag.
This patch exports KVM Host Power Management capabilities as XML so that
higher-level systems management software can make use of these features
available in the host.
The script "pm-is-supported" (from pm-utils package) is run to discover if
Suspend-to-RAM (S3) or Suspend-to-Disk (S4) is supported by the host.
If either of them are supported, then a new tag "<power_management>" is
introduced in the XML under the <host> tag.
However in case the query to check for power management features succeeded,
but the host does not support any such feature, then the XML will contain
an empty <power_management/> tag. In the event that the PM query itself
failed, the XML will not contain any "power_management" tag.
To use this, new APIs could be implemented in libvirt to exploit power
management features such as S3/S4.
Currently, boot order can be specified per device class but there is no
way to specify exact disk/NIC device to boot from.
This patch adds <boot order='N'/> element which can be used inside
<disk/> and <interface/>. This is incompatible with the older os/boot
element. Since not all hypervisors support per-device boot
specification, new deviceboot flag is included in capabilities XML for
hypervisors which understand the new boot element. Presence of the flag
allows (but doesn't require) users to use the new style boot order
specification.
By specifying <vendor> element in CPU requirements a guest can be
restricted to run only on CPUs by a given vendor. Host CPU vendor is
also specified in capabilities XML.
The vendor is checked when migrating a guest but it's not forced, i.e.,
guests configured without <vendor> element can be freely migrated.
