on USB bus require a USB controller, surprisingly.
At the same time, since I'm using virDomainDefHasUSB() in this
new validator function, it has to be moved a few lines up and
also its header needed to be changed a bit: it is now taking a
const pointer to domain def since it's not changing anything in

Our current detection code uses just the number of CPU features which
need to be added/removed from the CPU model to fully describe the CPUID
data. The smallest number wins. But this may sometimes generate wrong
results as one can see from the fixed test cases. This patch modifies
the algorithm to prefer the CPU model with matching signature even if
this model results in a longer list of additional features.

The CPU model was implemented in QEMU by commit f6f949e929.
The change to i7-5600U is wrong since it's a 5th generation CPU, i.e.,

While we need to know the difference between the total memory stored in
<memory> and the actual size not included in the possible memory modules
we can't pre-calculate it reliably. This is due to the fact that
libvirt's XML is copied via formatting and parsing the XML and the
initial memory size can be reliably calculated only when certain
conditions are met due to backwards compatibility.
This patch removes the storage of 'initial_memory' and fixes the helpers
to recalculate the initial memory size all the time from the total
memory size. This conversion is possible when we also make sure that
memory hotplug accounts properly for the update of the total memory size
and thus the helpers for inserting and removing memory devices need to
be tweaked too.
This fixes a bug where a cold-plug and cold-remove of a memory device
would increase the size reported in <memory> in the XML by the size of
the memory device. This would happen as the persistent definition is
copied before attaching the device and this would lead to the loss of
data in 'initial_memory'.

Commit b3d069872c added peer address setting to the low level
virNetDevSetIPAddress() function, but ended up causing a segfault in
cases where the caller passed NULL for peer address.
Commit a3510e33d3 fixed the segfault, but managed to cause us to
skip setting the broadcast address when setting an interface's IP
address. The result is that the broadcast address is 0.0.0.0 for all
libvirt-created bridges (and interfaces in lxc containers with IP
addresses set by libvirt).
This was reported on the mailing list:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-June/msg00027.html
but I was too busy to investigate at the time. I found it by accident
today while refactoring virNetDevSetIPAddress(). Since this regression
is present in the 1.3.5 release, I'm sending the bugfix as a separate
patch from my larger refactoring patchset.
Until now, a Q35 domain (or arm/virt, or any other domain that has a
pcie-root bus) would always have a pci-bridge added, so that there
would be a hotpluggable standard PCI slot available to plug in any PCI
devices that might be added. This patch removes the explicit add,
instead relying on the pci-bridge being auto-added during PCI address
assignment (it will add a pci-bridge if there are no free slots).
This doesn't eliminate the dmi-to-pci-bridge controller that is
explicitly added whether or not a standard PCI slot is required (and
that is almost never used as anything other than a converter between
pcie.0's PCIe slots and standard PCI). That will be done separately.
Previously there was no way to have a Q35 domain that didn't have
these two controllers. This patch skips their creation as long as
there are some other kinds of pci controllers at index 1 and 2
(e.g. some pcie-root-port controllers).
I'm hoping that soon we won't add them at all, plugging all devices
into auto-added pcie-*-port ports instead, but in the meantime this
makes it easier to experiment with alternative bus hierarchies.

The other two DomainHasBlockJob usage error messages don't contain
'an', so unify things to save translators some effort. Dropping

In the auth config file, it is currently required to have
an entry for each hostname to connect to, eg

entry:
[auth-default]

Nearly all the methods in the nodeinfo file are given a
'const char *sysfs_prefix' parameter to override the
default sysfs path (/sys/devices/system). Every single
caller passes in NULL for this, except one use in the
unit tests. Furthermore this parameter is totally
Linux-specific, when the APIs are intended to be cross
platform portable.
This removes the sysfs_prefix parameter and instead gives
a new method linuxNodeInfoSetSysFSSystemPath for use by
the test suite.
For two of the methods this hardcodes use of the constant
SYSFS_SYSTEM_PATH, since the test suite does not need to
override the path for thos methods.

If you want to set block device I/O tuning values that end with '_max'

respective non-_max values. QEMU even says that in the error message
sent as a response to the monitor command:
"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "bps_max/iops_max require

a helper for logging one-shot entries to the log file including the
fallback approach of using direct file access.
This will be used for noting the shutdown of the qemu proces and
possibly other actions such as VM migration and other critical VM
lifecycle events.
For logging one-shot entries to the VM log file it's quite a waste to
hold open the file descriptor for logging that is provided by the
current API.
This new API will be ideal for logging one-shot entries to the file
e.g. at the point when we shut the VM down rather than having to add the
whole file-descriptor infrastructure.
Additionally this will allow to add the messages even after restart of
libvirtd since virtlogd doesn't allow to obtain a regular context with
filedescriptors while the VM is still active.
