9139b46a6b virt-host-validate: check for IOMMU support
This looks for existance of DMAR (Intel) and IVRS (AMD)
files under /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/, as a sign that
the platform has IOMMU present & enabled in the BIOS.

If these are present and /sys/kernel/iommu_groups does
not contain any entries this is taken as a sign that
the kernel has not enabled the IOMMU currently.

If no ACPI tables are found we can't distinguish between
disabled in BIOS and not present in the hardware, so we
have to give the user a generic hint.

09a7a34076 virt-host-validate: disable mntent code on Win32
Win32 does not have support for mntent.h header, so the
method which uses this must be stubbed out.

9bf595b172 virt-host-validate: check for required cgroups
Extend the virt-host-validate checks to see if the required
cgroups are compiled into the kernel and that they are
mounted on the system. The cgroups are all optional except
for 3 that LXC mandates

fd6d506c50 virt-host-validate: distinguish exists vs accessible for devices
Currently we just check that various devices are accessible.
This leads to inaccurate errors reported for /dev/kvm and
/dev/vhost-net if they exist but an unprivileged user lacks
access. Switch existing checks to look for file existance,
and add a separate check for accessibility of /dev/kvm
since some distros don't grant users access by default.

8a6b6037f8 virt-host-validate.c: check for kernel namespaces
The LXC driver requires the uts, mnt, pid & ipc
namespaces, while net & user namespaces are
optional. Validate all these are present.

0585332430 maint: avoid static zero init in tools
C guarantees that static variables are zero-initialized.  Some older
compilers (and also gcc -fno-zero-initialized-in-bss) create larger
binaries if you explicitly zero-initialize a static variable.

* tools/virsh-console.c (got_signal): Drop unused variable.
* tools/virsh-domain.c: Fix initialization.
* tools/virsh.c: Likewise.
* tools/virt-host-validate-common.c (virHostMsgWantEscape):
Likewise.

dc6f2dadac Introduce OOM reporting to virAsprintf
Actually, I'm turning this function into a macro as filename,
function name and line number needs to be passed. The new
function virAsprintfInternal is introduced with the extended set
of arguments.

7c9a2d88cd virutil: Move string related functions to virstring.c
The source code base needs to be adapted as well. Some files
include virutil.h just for the string related functions (here,
the include is substituted to match the new file), some include
virutil.h without any need (here, the include is removed), and
some require both.

f9ce7dad60 Desert the FSF address in copyright
Per the FSF address could be changed from time to time, and GNU
recommends the following now: (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html)

  You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
  along with Foobar.  If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.

This patch removes the explicit FSF address, and uses above instead
(of course, with inserting 'Lesser' before 'General').

Except a bunch of files for security driver, all others are changed
automatically, the copyright for securify files are not complete,
that's why to do it manually:

  src/security/security_selinux.h
  src/security/security_driver.h
  src/security/security_selinux.c
  src/security/security_apparmor.h

54a38915d8 Add a virt-host-validate command to sanity check HV config
To assist people in verifying that their host is operating in an
optimal manner, provide a 'virt-host-validate' command. For each
type of hypervisor, it will check any pre-requisites, or other
good recommendations and report what's working & what is not.

eg

  # virt-host-validate
  QEMU: Checking for device /dev/kvm                                         : FAIL (Check that the 'kvm-intel' or 'kvm-amd' modules are loaded & the BIOS has enabled virtualization)
  QEMU: Checking for device /dev/vhost                                       : WARN (Load the 'vhost_net' module to improve performance of virtio networking)
  QEMU: Checking for device /dev/net/tun                                     : PASS
   LXC: Checking for Linux >= 2.6.26                                         : PASS

This warns people if they have vmx/svm, but don't have /dev/kvm. It
also warns about missing /dev/vhost net.
