So far we didn't have any option to set video memory size for qemu video
devices. There was only the vram (ram for QXL) attribute but it was valid
only for the QXL video device.
To provide this feature to users QEMU has a dedicated device attribute
called 'vgamem_mb' to set the video memory size. We will use the 'vram'
attribute for setting video memory size for other QEMU video devices.
For the cirrus device we will ignore the vram value because it has
hardcoded video size in QEMU.

QEMU has two different type of QXL display device. The first "qxl-vga"
is for primary video device and second "qxl" is for secondary video
device.
There are also two different ways how to specify those devices on qemu
command line, the first one and obsolete is using "-vga" option and the
current new one is using "-device" option. The "-vga" could be used only
to setup primary video device, so the "-vga qxl" equal to
"-device qxl-vga". Unfortunately the "-vga qxl" doesn't support setting
additional parameters for the device and "-global" option must be used
for this purpose. It's mandatory to use "-global qxl-vga...." to set the
parameters of primary video device previously defined with "-vga qxl".

The vram attribute was introduced to set the video memory but it is
usable only for few hypervisors excluding QEMU/KVM and the old XEN
driver. Only in case of QEMU the vram was used for QXL.
This patch updates the documentation to reflect current code in libvirt
and also changes the cases when we will set the default vram attribute.
It also fixes existing strange default value for VGA devices 9MB to 16MB
because the video ram should be rounded to power of two.
The change of default value could affect migrations but I found out that
QEMU always round the video ram to power of two internally so it's safe
to change the default value to the next closest power of two and also
silently correct every domain XML definition. And it's also safe because
we don't pass the value to QEMU.

To be able to express some use cases of the RBD backing with libvirt, we
need to be able to specify a config file for the RBD client to qemu as
that is one of the commonly used options.
Some storage systems have internal support for snapshots. Libvirt should
be able to select a correct snapshot when starting a VM.
This patch adds a XML element to select a storage source snapshot for
the RBD protocol which supports this feature.
To allow reuse this non-trivial parser code in the backing store parser
this part of the command line parser needs to be split out into a
separate funciton.
Instead of splitting out various fields, pass the complete structure and
let the function pick various things of it.
As one of the callers isn't using virStorageSourcePtr to store the data,
this patch adds glue code that fills the data into a dummy
virStorageSourcePtr before calling the func.
This change will help when adding new fields that need output processing
in the future.
As discussed on the upstream list, it's better not to make this
kind of predictions in libvirt. It may happen that qemu learns
how to enable OVMF on other architectures too and we shouldn't
try to chase that.

PowerISA allows processors to run VMs in binary compatibility ("compat")
mode supporting an older version of ISA. QEMU has recently added support to
explicitly denote a VM running in compatibility mode through commit 6d9412ea
& 8dfa3a5e85. Now, a "compat" mode VM can be run by invoking this qemu
commandline on a POWER8 host: -cpu host,compat=power7.
This patch allows libvirt to exploit cpu mode 'host-model' to describe this
new mode for PowerKVM guests. For example, when a user wants to request a
power7 vm to run in compatibility mode on a Power8 host, this can be
described in XML as follows :
<cpu mode='host-model'>
<model>power7</model>
</cpu>

This is a reaction to Michal's fix [1] for non-NUMA systems that also
splits out conf/ out of util/ because libvirt_util shouldn't require
libvirt_conf if it is the other way around. This particular use case
worked, but we're trying to avoid it as mentioned [2], many times.
The only functions from virnuma.c that needed numatune_conf were
virDomainNumatuneNodesetIsAvailable() and virNumaSetupMemoryPolicy().
The first one should be in numatune_conf as it works with
virDomainNumatune, the second one just needs nodeset and mode, both of
which can be passed without the need of numatune_conf.
Apart from fixing that, this patch also fixes recently added
code (between commits d2460f85^..5c8515620) that doesn't support
non-contiguous nodesets. It uses new function
virNumaNodesetIsAvailable(), which doesn't need a stub as it doesn't use
any libnuma functions, to check if every specified nodeset is available.

Right now when building the qemu command line, we try to do various
unconditional validations of the guest CPU against the host CPU. However
this checks are overly applied. The only time we should use the checks
are:
- The user requests host-model/host-passthrough, or
- When KVM is requsted. CPU features requested in TCG mode are always
emulated by qemu and are independent of the host CPU, so no host CPU
checks should be performed.
Right now if trying to specify a CPU for arm on an x86 host, it attempts
to do non-sensical validation and falls over.
Switch all the test cases that were intending to test CPU validation to
use KVM, so they continue to test the intended code.
Amend some aarch64 XML tests with a CPU model, to ensure things work
correctly.
In the function at one place we check if def->cpu is NULL prior
to accessing def->cpu->ncells. Then, later in the code,
def->cpu->ncells is accessed directly, without the check. This
makes coverity unhappy, because the first check makes it think
def->cpu can be NULL. However, the function is not called if
def->cpu is NULL. Therefore, remove the first check and hopefully
make coverity cheer again.

There are two ways how to tell qemu to use huge pages. The first one
is suitable for domains with NUMA nodes: the path to hugetlbfs mount
is appended to NUMA node definition on the command line. The second
one is suitable for UMA domains: here there's this global '-mem-path'
argument that accepts path to the hugetlbfs mount point. However, the
latter case was not used for all the cases that it should be. For
instance:
<memoryBacking>
<hugepages>
<page size='2048' unit='KiB' nodeset='0'/>
</hugepages>
</memoryBacking>
didn't trigger the '-mem-path' so the huge pages - despite being
configured - were not used at all.

In other words with current code it is possible to define meaningless
combination:
<memoryBacking>
<hugepages>
<page size='1048576' unit='KiB' nodeset='0,2-3'/>
<page size='2048' unit='KiB' nodeset='1,4'/>

Up to now, users can configure BIOS via the <loader/> element. With
the upcoming implementation of UEFI this is not enough as BIOS and
UEFI are conceptually different. For instance, while BIOS is ROM, UEFI
is programmable flash (although all writes to code section are
denied). Therefore we need new attribute @type which will
differentiate the two. Then, new attribute @readonly is introduced to
reflect the fact that some images are RO.
Moreover, the OVMF (which is going to be used mostly), works in two
modes:
1) Code and UEFI variable store is mixed in one file.
2) Code and UEFI variable store is separated in two files
The latter has advantage of updating the UEFI code without losing the
configuration. However, in order to represent the latter case we need
yet another XML element: <nvram/>. Currently, it has no additional
attributes, it's just a bare element containing path to the variable
store file.
