This patch adds delay time (steal time inside guest) to libvirt
domain per-vcpu stats. Delay time is an important performance metric.
It is a consequence of the overloaded CPU. Knowledge of the delay
time of a virtual machine helps to understand if it is affected and
estimate the impact.
As a result, it is possible to react exactly when needed and
rebalance the load between hosts. This is used by cloud providers
to provide quality of service, especially when the CPU is
oversubscribed.
It's more convenient to work with this metric in a context of a
libvirt domain. Any monitoring software may use this information.

The <graphics type="vnc" .... powerControl="yes"/> option instructs the
VNC server to enable an extension that lets the client perform a
graceful shutdown, reboot and hard reset.
This is enabled by default since it cannot be assumed that the VNC
client user has administrator rights over the guest OS. In the case
where the VNC user is a guest administrator though, it is reasonable
to allow direct power control host side too.

The <teaming> element in <interface> allows pairing two interfaces
together as a simple "failover bond" network device in a guest. One of
the devices is the "transient" interface - it will be preferred for
all network traffic when it is present, but may be removed when
necessary, in particular during migration, when traffic will instead
go through the other interface of the pair - the "persistent"
interface. As it happens, in the QEMU implementation of this teaming
pair (called "virtio failover" in QEMU) the transient interface is
always a host network device assigned to the guest using VFIO (aka
"hostdev"); the persistent interface is always an emulated virtio NIC.
When support was initially added for <teaming>, it was written to
require that the transient/hostdev device be defined using <interface
type='hostdev'>; this was done because the virtio failover
implementation in QEMU and the virtio guest driver demands that the
two interfaces in the pair have matching MAC addresses, and the only
way libvirt can guarantee the MAC address of a hostdev network device
is to use <interface type='hostdev'>, whose main purpose is to
configure the device's MAC address before handing the device to
QEMU. (note that <interface type='hostdev'> in turn requires that the
network device be an SRIOV VF (Virtual Function), as that is the only
type of network device whose MAC address we can set in a way that will
survive the device's driver init in the guest).
It has recently come up that some users are unable to use <teaming>
because they are running in a container environment where libvirt
doesn't have the necessary privileges or resources to set the VF's MAC
address (because setting the VF MAC is done via the same device's PF
(Physical Function), and the PF is not exposed to libvirt's container).
At the same time, these users *are* able to set the VF's MAC address
themselves in advance of staring up libvirt in the container. So they
could theoretically use the <teaming> feature if libvirt just skipped
the "setting the MAC address" part.
Fortunately, that is *exactly* the difference between <interface
type='hostdev'> (which must be a "hostdev VF") and <hostdev> (a "plain
hostdev" - it could be *any* PCI device; libvirt doesn't know what type
of PCI device it is, and doesn't care).
But what is still needed is for libvirt to provide a small bit of
information on the QEMU commandline argument for the hostdev, telling
QEMU that this device will be part of a team ("failover pair"), and
the id of the other device in the pair.
To make both of those goals simultaneously possible, this patch adds
support for the <teaming> element to plain <hostdev> - libvirt doesn't
try to set any MAC addresses, and QEMU gets the extra commandline
argument it needs)
(actually, this patch adds only the parsing/formatting of the
<teaming> element in <hostdev>. The next patch will actually wire that
into the qemu driver.)

When running on host with systemd we register VMs with machined.
In this case systemd creates the root VM cgroup for us. This has some
implications where one of them is that systemd owns all files inside
the root VM cgroup and we should not touch them.
We already use DBus calls for some of the APIs but for the remaining
ones we will continue accessing the files directly. Systemd doesn't
support threaded cgroups so we need to do this.
The reason why we don't use DBus for most of the APIs is that we already
have a code that works with files and we would have to check if systemd
supports each API.
This change introduces new topology on systemd hosts:
$ROOT
|
+- machine.slice
|
+- machine-qemu\x2d1\x2dvm1.scope
|
+- libvirt
|
+- emulator
+- vcpu0

The virtio-pmem is a virtio variant of NVDIMM and just like
NVDIMM virtio-pmem also allows accessing host pages bypassing
guest page cache. The difference is that if a regular file is
used to back guest's NVDIMM (model='nvdimm') the persistence of
guest writes might not be guaranteed while with virtio-pmem it
is.
To express this new model at domain XML level, I've chosen the
following:
<memory model='virtio-pmem' access='shared'>
<source>
<path>/tmp/virtio_pmem</path>
</source>
<target>
<size unit='KiB'>524288</size>
</target>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/>
</memory>
Another difference between NVDIMM and virtio-pmem is that while
the former supports NUMA node locality the latter doesn't. And
also, the latter goes onto PCI bus and not into a DIMM module.

The idea is to have it like a soft limit: if possible then break
lines, if not then have a long line instead of some creative
approach.

We should highlight the language bindings that are actively
maintained, keep up with the core library's development pace,
have good API coverage and are relevant to people looking to
integrate libvirt into their projects today: based on these
criteria, it makes sense to highlight the Go binding instead
of the Java one.

The information about sockets having different label than the one on the file
and the way it needs to be set is very difficult to find for those who did not
come across it before. Let's describe what needs to happen in order for the
migration to go through rather than rely on general knowledge of others.

The NCR53C90 is the built-in SCSI controller on all sparc machine types,
and some mips and m68k machine types.
The DC390 and AM53C974 are PCI SCSI controllers that can be added to any
PCI machine.
These are only interesting for emulating obsolete hardware platforms.

QEMU version 4.2 introduced a performance feature under commit
d645e13287 ("kvm: i386: halt poll control MSR support").
This patch adds a new KVM feature 'poll-control' to set this performance
hint for KVM guests. The feature is off by default.
To enable this hint and have libvirt add "-cpu host,kvm-poll-control=on"
to the QEMU command line, the following XML code needs to be added to the
guest's domain description:
<features>
<kvm>
<poll-control state='on'/>
</kvm>
</features>

page.xsl was adding '<div id="content">' wrapper for the content picked
up from the <body> element from the original input file. Optionally
class="$DOCNAME" was added for some documents taken from <body>.
Since docs generated from RST by docutils have a '<div class='document'
id='$DOCNAME>' we actually don't need an extra wrapper for them.
Additionally if we standardize on one of them we can use the same styles
for both. I've picked the latter because it makes more sense to use the
document name as 'id'.
This patch:
1) Modifies the XSL trasformation to add the wrapper only if it's not
present.
2) Modifies the XSL transformation to use 'id' for document name and
class='document' for the wrapper element.
3) Changes docs.html/index.html/hvsupport.html to use 'id' instead of
'class' for document name.
4) Modifies the main stylesheet to keep styling the elements properly
