Upon invocation, hypervInvokeMethod() consumes passed @params
(the second argument) regardless whether success or failure is
released. However, it takes only simple pointer (which hides this
ownership transfer) and because of that it doesn't clear it.
Switch to double pointer and tweak the documentation.

These XML attributes have been mandatory since the introduction of SEV
support to libvirt. This design decision was based on QEMU's
requirement for these to be mandatory for migration purposes, as
differences in these values across platforms must result in the
pre-migration checks failing (not that migration with SEV works at the
time of this patch).
Expecting the user to specify these is cumbersome and the same XML
cannot be re-used across different revisions of SEV. Since
we have SEV platform information saved in QEMU capabilities, we can
make the attributes optional and should fill them in automatically
in the QEMU driver right before starting it.

Checks such as this one should be done at domain def validation time,
not before starting the QEMU process.
As for this change, existing domains will see some QEMU error when
starting as opposed to a libvirt error that this QEMU binary doesn't
support SEV, but that's okay, we never guaranteed error messages to
remain the same.

A few tweaks were made during the move:
- the error messages were changed to mention 'sata controller'
instead of 'ide controller';
- a check for address type 'drive' was added like it is done
with other bus types. The error message of qemuxml2argdata was
updated to reflect that now, instead of erroring it out from the
common code in virDomainDiskDefValidate(), we're failing earlier
with a different error message.

By default, pfifo_fast queueing discipline (qdisc) is set on
newly created interfaces (including TAPs). This qdisc has three
queues and packets that want to be sent through given NIC are
placed into one of the queues based on TOS field. Queues are then
emptied based on their priority allowing interactive sessions
stay interactive whilst something else is downloading a large
file.
Obviously, this means that kernel has to be involved and some
locking has to happen (when placing packets into queues). If
virtualization is taken into account then the above algorithm
happens twice - once in the guest and the second time in the
host.
This is arguably not optimal as it burns host CPU cycles
needlessly. Guest already made it choice and sent packets in the
order it wants.
To resolve this, Linux kernel offers 'noqueue' qdisc which can be
applied on virtual interfaces and in fact for 'lo' it is by
default:
lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue
Set it for other TAP devices we create for domains too. With this
change I was able to squeeze 1Mbps more from a macvtap attached
to a guest and to my 1Gbps LAN (as measured by iperf3).
