0022995555 Support bond interfaces attached to bridges in interface xml.
This was accomplished in xml parsing by doing away with the
stripped-down virInterfaceBareDef object, and just always using
virInterfaceDef, but with restrictions in certain places (eg, the type
of subordinate interface allowed in parsing depends on the parent
interface).

xml formatting was similarly adjusted. In addition, the formatting
functions keep track of the level of interface nesting, and insert
extra leading spaces on each line accordingly (using %*s).

The only change in formatted xml from previous (aside frmo supporting
new combinations of interface types) is that the subordinate ethernet
interfaces take up 2 lines rather than one, eg:

   <interface type='ethernet' name='eth0'>
   </interface>

instead of:

   <interface type='ethernet' name='eth0'/>

379eb3956c Tests for ACS in PCIe switches
New pciDeviceIsAssignable() function for checking whether a given PCI
device can be assigned to a guest was added. Currently it only checks
for ACS being enabled on all PCIe switches between root and the PCI
device. In the future, it could be the right place to check whether a
device is unbound or bound to a stub driver.

ce4896fb65 Allow for CPU topology specification without model
Currently CPU topology may only be specified together with CPU model:
    <cpu match='exact'>
        <model>name</model>
        <topology sockets='1' cores='2' threads='3'/>
    </cpu>

This patch allows for CPU topology specification without the need for
also specifying CPU model:
    <cpu>
        <topology sockets='1' cores='2' threads='3'/>
    </cpu>

'match' attribute and 'model' element are made optional with the
restriction that 'match' attribute has to be set when 'model' is
present.

5e13b7ab5e Take disabled/forced CPU features into account
When comparing x86 CPUs, features with 'disabled' policy were mistakenly
required to be supported by the host CPU.

Likewise, features with 'force' policy which were supported by host CPU
would make CPUs incompatible if 'strict' match was used by guest CPU.

This patch fixes both issues.

5d462bd0b3 Implement CPU topology support for QEMU driver
QEMU's command line equivalent for the following domain XML fragment
    <vcpus>2</vcpus>
    <cpu ...>
        ...
        <topology sockets='1' cores='2', threads='1'/>
    </cpu>

is

    -smp 2,sockets=1,cores=2,threads=1

This syntax was introduced in QEMU-0.12.

Version 2 changes:
- -smp argument build split into a separate function
- always add ",sockets=S,cores=C,threads=T" to -smp if qemu supports it
- use qemuParseCommandLineKeywords for command line parsing

Version 3 changes:
- ADD_ARG_LIT => ADD_ARG and line reordering in qemudBuildCommandLine
- rebased

014c9f3196 Enhance qemuParseCommandLineKeywords
Current version expects name=value,... list and when an incorrect string
such as "a,b,c=d" would be parsed as "a,b,c" keyword with "d" value
without reporting any error, which is probably not the expected
behavior.

This patch adds an extra argument called allowEmptyValue, which if
non-zero will permit keywords with no value; "a,b=c,,d=" will be parsed
as follows:
    keyword value
    "a"     NULL
    "b"     "c"
    ""      NULL
    "d"     ""

In case allowEmptyValue is zero, the string is required to contain
name=value pairs only; retvalues is guaranteed to contain non-NULL
pointers. Now, "a,b,c=d" will result in an error.

a44d0dc26c Auto-assign PCI addresses
Instead of relying on QEMU to assign PCI addresses and then querying
them with 'info pci', manually assign all PCI addresses before starting
the guest.  These addresses are not stable across reboots. That will
come in a later patch

NB, the PIIX3 (IDE, FDC, ISA-Bridge) will always have slot 1 and
VGA will always have slot 2. We declare the Virtio Balloon gets
slot 3, and then all remaining slots are for configured devices.

  addresses when building the command line

The current character device syntax uses either

  -serial tty,path=/dev/ttyS2

With the new -device support, we now prefer

  -chardev file,id=serial0,path=/tmp/serial.log -device isa-serial,chardev=serial0

This patch changes the existing -chardev syntax to use this new
scheme, and fallbacks to the old plain -serial syntax for old
QEMU.

The monitor device changes to

  -chardev socket,id=monitor,path=/tmp/test-monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=monitor

In addition, this patch adds --nodefaults, which kills off the
default serial, parallel, vga and nic devices. THis avoids the

5da9c98067 Introduce device aliases
This patch introduces the support for giving all devices a short,
unique name, henceforth known as a 'device alias'.  These aliases
are not set by the end user, instead being assigned by the hypervisor
if it decides it want to support this concept.

The QEMU driver sets them whenever using the -device arg syntax
and uses them for improved hotplug/hotunplug. it is the intent
that other APIs (block / interface stats & device hotplug) be
able to accept device alias names in the future.

The XML syntax is

   <alias name="video0"/>

This may appear in any type of device that supports device info.

989051a85e Detect PCI addresses at QEMU startup
Hotunplug of devices requires that we know their PCI address. Even
hotplug of SCSI drives, required that we know the PCI address of
the SCSI controller to attach the drive to. We can find this out
by running 'info pci' and then correlating the vendor/product IDs
with the devices we booted with.

Although this approach is somewhat fragile, it is the only viable
option with QEMU < 0.12, since there is no way for libvirto set
explicit PCI addresses when creating devices in the first place.
For QEMU > 0.12, this code will not be used.

3a6bf1bb78 Properly support SCSI drive hotplug
The current SCSI hotplug support attaches a brand new SCSI controller
for every disk. This is broken because the semantics differ from those
used when starting the VM initially. In the latter case, each SCSI
controller is filled before a new one is added.

If the user specifies an high drive index (sdazz) then at initial
startup, many intermediate SCSI controllers may be added with no
drives.

This patch changes SCSI hotplug so that it exactly matches the
behaviour of initial startup. First the SCSI controller number is
determined for the drive to be hotplugged. If any controller upto
and including that controller number is not yet present, it is
attached. Then finally the drive is attached to the last controller.

NB, this breaks SCSI hotunplug, because there is no 'drive_del'
command in current QEMU. Previous SCSI hotunplug was broken in
any case because it was unplugging the entire controller, not
just the drive in question.

A future QEMU will allow proper SCSI hotunplug of a drive.

This patch is derived from work done by Wolfgang Mauerer on disk
controllers.

 the correct controller, instead of just attaching a new

da9d937b94 Implement SCSI controller hotplug/unplug for QEMU
This patch allows for explicit hotplug/unplug of SCSI controllers.
Ordinarily this is not required, since QEMU/libvirt will attach
a new SCSI controller whenever one is required. Allowing explicit
hotplug of controllers though, enables the caller to specify a
static PCI address, instead of auto-assigning the next available
PCI slot. Or it will when we have static PCI addressing.

patch series.

30a9329ab1 util.c: include required header, no longer masked by gnulib
Until recently, some gnulib-generated replacement headers
included *other* headers that were not strictly necessary,
thus masking the need in this file for an explicit <stdlib.h>.
* src/util/util.c: Include <stdlib.h> for declarations of e.g.,
strtol, random_r, getenv, etc.

322707ba8a Use closest CPU model when decoding from CPUID
Current implementation of x86Decode() used for CPUID -> model+features
translation does not always select the closest CPU model. When walking
through all models from cpu_map.xml the function considers a new
candidate as a better choice than a previously selected candidate only
if the new one is a superset of the old one. In case the new candidate
is closer to host CPU but lacks some feature comparing to the old
candidate, the function does not choose well.

This patch changes the algorithm so that the closest model is always
selected. That is, the model which requires the lowest number of
additional features to describe host CPU.

3c58896eb7 Change detection of xen so that it's actually automatic rather than forced.
This ensures that ./configure will work fine if xen development packages
are not around, rather than fail. When passing ./configure --with-xen, the
lack of xen development packages become fatal.
