Currently, the @flags usage is a bit unclear at first sight to say the
least. There's no need for such unclear code especially when we can
borrow the working code from qemuDomainShutdownFlags().
In addition, this fixes one bug too. If user requested both
VIR_DOMAIN_SHUTDOWN_INITCTL and VIR_DOMAIN_SHUTDOWN_SIGNAL at the same
time, he is basically saying: 'Use the force Luke! If initctl fails try
sending a signal.' But with the current code we don't do that. If
initctl fails for some reason (e.g. inability to write to /dev/initctl)
we don't try sending any signal but fail immediately. To make things
worse, making a domain shutdown with bare _SIGNAL was working by blind
chance of a @rc variable being placed at correct place on the stack so
its initial value was zero.

The function doesn't check whether the request is made for active or
inactive domain. Thus when the domain is not running it still tries
accessing non-existing cgroups (priv->cgroup, which is NULL).
I re-made the function in order for it to work the same way it's qemu
counterpart does.
Reproducer:
1) Define an LXC domain
2) Do 'virsh memtune <domain> --hard-limit 133T'

The glibc setxid is supposed to be async signal safe, but
libc developers confirm that it is not. This causes a problem
when libvirt_lxc starts the FUSE thread and then runs clone()
to start the container. If the clone() was done before the
FUSE thread has completely started up, then the container
will hang in setxid after clone().
The fix is to avoid creating any threads until after the
container has been clone()'d. By avoiding any threads in
the parent, the child is no longer required to run in an
async signal safe context, and we thus avoid the glibc
bug.

If the host side of an LXC container console disconnected
and the guest side continued to write data, until the PTY
buffer filled up, the LXC controller would busy wait. It
would repeatedly see POLLHUP from poll() and not disable
the watch.
This was due to some bogus logic detecting blocking
conditions. Upon seeing a POLLHUP we must disable all
reading & writing from the PTY, and setup the epoll to
wake us up again when the connection comes back.

Currently we were storing domain feature flags in a bit field as the
they were either enabled or disabled. New features such as paravirtual
spinlocks however can be tri-state as the default option may depend on
hypervisor version.
To allow storing tri-state feature state in the same place instead of
having to declare dedicated variables for each feature this patch
refactors the bit field to an array.
Currently the LXC container tries to skip selinux/securityfs
mounts if the directory does not exist in the filesystem,
or if SELinux is disabled.
The former check is flawed because the /sys/fs/selinux
or /sys/kernel/securityfs directories may exist in sysfs
even if the mount type is disabled. Instead of just doing
an access() check, use an virFileIsMounted() to see if
the FS is actually present in the host OS. This also
avoids the need to check is_selinux_enabled().

Several things to note: virObjectLock() requires a non-const

as 'mutable' and allow locking an otherwise 'const' object, but
that is a more invasive change, so I instead dropped attempts
to be const-correct on domain lookup. virXMLPropString and
friends require a non-const xmlNodePtr - this is because libxml2
is not a const-correct library. We could make the src/util/virxml
wrappers cast away const, but I figured it was easier to not
try to mark xmlNodePtr as const. Finally, virDomainDeviceDefCopy
was a rather hard conversion - it calls virDomainDeviceDefPostParse,
which in turn in the xen driver was actually modifying the domain

Since 76b644c when the support for RAM filesystems was introduced,
libvirt accepted the following XML:
<source usage='1024' unit='KiB'/>
This was parsed correctly and internally stored in bytes, but it
was formatted as (with an extra 's'):
<source usage='1024' units='KiB'/>
When read again, this was treated as if the units were missing,
meaning libvirt was unable to parse its own XML correctly.
The usage attribute was documented as being in KiB, but it was not
scaled if the unit was missing. Transient domains still worked,
because this was balanced by an extra 'k' in the mount options.
This patch:
Changes the parser to use 'units' instead of 'unit', as the latter
was never documented (fixing persistent domains) and some programs
(libvirt-glib, libvirt-sandbox) already parse the 'units' attribute.
Removes the extra 'k' from the tmpfs mount options, which is needed
because now we parse our own XML correctly.
Changes the default input unit to KiB to match documentation, fixing:

The virConnectPtr is passed around loads of nwfilter code in
order to provide it as a parameter to the callback registered
by the virt drivers. None of the virt drivers use this param
though, so it serves no purpose.
Avoiding the need to pass a virConnectPtr means that the
nwfilterStateReload method no longer needs to open a bogus
QEMU driver connection. This addresses a race condition that
can lead to a crash on startup.
The nwfilter driver starts before the QEMU driver and registers
some callbacks with DBus to detect firewalld reload. If the
firewalld reload happens while the QEMU driver is still starting
up though, the nwfilterStateReload method will open a connection
to the partially initialized QEMU driver and cause a crash.
