Add a new <ioapic> element with a driver attribute.
Possible values are qemu and kvm. With 'qemu', the I/O
APIC can be put in the userspace even for KVM domains.

The parser had been clearing out *all* suggested device names for
type='direct' (aka macvtap) interfaces. All of the code implementing
macvtap allows for a user-specified device name, so we should allow
it. In the case that an interface name starts with "macvtap" or
"macvlan" though, we do still clear it out, just as we do with "vnet"
(which is the prefix used for automatically generated tap device
names), since those are the prefixes for the names we autogenerate for
macvtap and macvlan devices.

This patch introduces
<cache level='N' mode='emulate'/>
<cache mode='passthrough'/>
<cache mode='disable'/>
sub element of /domain/cpu. Currently only a single <cache> element is
allowed.

We are currently parsing only rx/frames/max because that's the only
value that makes sense for us. The tun device just added support for
this one and the others are only supported by hardware devices which
we don't need to worry about as the only way we'd pass those to the
domain is using <hostdev/> or <interface type='hostdev'/>. And in
those cases the guest can modify the settings itself.

qemu requires that the topology equals to the maximum vcpu count.
Document this along with the API to set maximum vcpu count and the XML
element.

The attribute can be used to request a specific way of checking whether
the virtual CPU matches created by the hypervisor matches the

For NVDIMM devices it is optionally possible to specify the size
of internal storage for namespaces. Namespaces are a feature that
allows users to partition the NVDIMM for different uses.

Now that NVDIMM has found its way into libvirt, users might want
to fine tune some settings for each module separately. One such
setting is 'share=on|off' for the memory-backend-file object.
This setting - just like its name suggest already - enables
sharing the nvdimm module with other applications. Under the hood
it controls whether qemu mmaps() the file as MAP_PRIVATE or
MAP_SHARED.
Yet again, we have such config knob in domain XML, but it's just
an attribute to numa <cell/>. This does not give fine enough
tuning on per-memdevice basis so we need to have the attribute
for each device too.

NVDIMM is new type of memory introduced into QEMU 2.6. The idea
is that we have a Non-Volatile memory module that keeps the data
persistent across domain reboots.
At the domain XML level, we already have some representation of
'dimm' modules. Long story short, NVDIMM will utilize the
existing <memory/> element that lives under <devices/> by adding
a new attribute 'nvdimm' to the existing @model and introduce a
new <path/> element for <source/> while reusing other fields. The
resulting XML would appear as:
<memory model='nvdimm'>
<source>
<path>/tmp/nvdimm</path>
</source>
<target>
<size unit='KiB'>523264</size>
<node>0</node>
</target>
<address type='dimm' slot='0'/>
</memory>
So far, this is just a XML parser/formatter extension. QEMU
driver implementation is in the next commit.

bhyve supports 'gop' video device that allows clients to connect
to VMs using VNC clients. This commit adds support for that to
the bhyve driver:
- Introducr 'gop' video device type
- Add capabilities probing for the 'fbuf' device that's
responsible for graphics
- Update command builder routines to let users configure
domain's VNC via gop graphics.

This part introduces new xml elements for file based
memorybacking support and their parsing.
(It allows vhost-user to be used without hugepages.)
New xml elements:
<memoryBacking>
<source type="file|anonymous"/>
<access mode="shared|private"/>
<allocation mode="immediate|ondemand"/>
</memoryBacking>
So far we allow to set MTU for libvirt networks. However, not all
domain interfaces have to be plugged into a libvirt network and
even if they are, they might want to have a different MTU (e.g.
for testing purposes).

With the QEMU components in place, provide the XML parsing to
invoke that code when given the following XML snippet:
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi_host'>
<source protocol='vhost' wwpn='naa.501234567890abcd'/>
</hostdev>
An optional address element can be specified within the hostdev
(pick CCW or PCI as necessary):
<address type='ccw' cssid='0xfe' ssid='0x0' devno='0x0625'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/>
Add basic vhost-scsi tests which were cloned from hostdev-scsi-virtio-scsi
in both xml2argv and xml2xml. Added ones for both vhost-scsi-ccw and
vhost-scsi-pci since the syntaxes are slightly different between them.
Also adjusted the docs to describe the changes.
