be87a1236e spicevmc: support new qemu chardev
Inspired by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=615757

Add a new character device backend for virtio serial channels that
activates the QEMU spice agent on the main channel using the vdagent
spicevmc connection.  The <target> must be type='virtio', and supports
an optional name that specifies how the guest will see the channel
(for now, name must be com.redhat.spice.0).

<channel type='spicevmc'>
  <target type='virtio'/>
  <address type='virtio-serial' controller='1' bus='0' port='3'/>
</channel>

ffdf478be2 smartcard: add XML support for <smartcard> device
Assuming a hypervisor that supports multiple smartcard devices in the
guest, this would be a valid XML description:

<devices>
  <smartcard mode='host'/>
  <smartcard mode='host-certificates'>
    <certificate>/path/to/cert1</certificate>
    <certificate>/path/to/cert2</certificate>
    <certificate>/path/to/cert3</certificate>
  </smartcard>
  <smartcard mode='passthrough' type='tcp'>
    <source mode='bind' host='127.0.0.1' service='2001'/>
    <protocol type='raw'/>
  </smartcard>
</devices>

(As of this commit, the qemu hypervisor will be the first
implementation, but it only supports one smartcard.)

* docs/formatdomain.html.in (Smartcard devices): New section.
* docs/schemas/domain.rng (smartcard): New define, used in
devices.

6cabc0b0d0 qemu: sound: Support intel 'ich6' model
In QEMU, the card itself is a PCI device, but it requires a codec
(either -device hda-output or -device hda-duplex) to actually output
sound. Specifying <sound model='ich6'/> gives us -device intel-hda
-device hda-duplex I think it's important that a simple <sound model='ich6'/>
sets up a useful codec, to have consistent behavior with all other sound cards.

This is basically Dan's proposal of

    <sound model='ich6'>
        <codec type='output' slot='0'/>
        <codec type='duplex' slot='3'/>
    </sound>

without the codec bits implemented.

The important thing is to keep a consistent API here, we don't want some
<sound> devs require tweaking codecs but not others. Steps I see to
accomplishing this:

    - every <sound> device has a <codec type='default'/> (unless codecs are
        manually specified)
    - <codec type='none'/> is required to specify 'no codecs'
    - new audio settings like mic=on|off could then be exposed in
        <sound> or <codec> in a consistent manner for all sound models

v2:
    Use model='ich6'

v3:
    Use feature detection, from eblake
    Set codec id, bus, and cad values

v4:
    intel-hda isn't supported if -device isn't available

v5:

1d9c0a08d9 qemu: Allow serving VNC over a unix domain socket
QEMU supports serving VNC over a unix domain socket rather than traditional
TCP host/port. This is specified with:

<graphics type='vnc' socket='/foo/bar/baz'/>

This provides better security access control than VNC listening on
127.0.0.1, but will cause issues with tools that rely on the lax security
(virt-manager in fedora runs as regular user by default, and wouldn't be
able to access a socket owned by 'qemu' or 'root').

Also not currently supported by any clients, though I have patches for
virt-manager, and virt-viewer should be simple to update.

v2:
    schema: Make listen vs. socket a <choice>

94234fa2f8 Introduce per-device boot element
Currently, boot order can be specified per device class but there is no
way to specify exact disk/NIC device to boot from.

This patch adds <boot order='N'/> element which can be used inside
<disk/> and <interface/>. This is incompatible with the older os/boot
element. Since not all hypervisors support per-device boot
specification, new deviceboot flag is included in capabilities XML for
hypervisors which understand the new boot element. Presence of the flag
allows (but doesn't require) users to use the new style boot order
specification.

fe053dbea7 Enable tuning of qemu network tap device "sndbuf" size
This is in response to a request in:

   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=665293

In short, under heavy load, it's possible for qemu's networking to
lock up due to the tap device's default 1MB sndbuf being
inadequate. adding "sndbuf=0" to the qemu commandline -netdevice
option will alleviate this problem (sndbuf=0 actually sets it to
0xffffffff).

Because we must be able to explicitly specify "0" as a value, the
standard practice of "0 means not specified" won't work here. Instead,
virDomainNetDef also has a sndbuf_specified, which defaults to 0, but
is set to 1 if some value was given.

The sndbuf value is put inside a <tune> element of each <interface> in
the domain. The intent is that further tunable settings will also be
placed inside this element.

     <interface type='network'>
       ...
       <tune>
         <sndbuf>0</sndbuf>
       ...
       </tune>
     </interface>

175077fd70 Add XML config switch to enable/disable vhost-net support
This patch is in response to

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=643050

The existing libvirt support for the vhost-net backend to the virtio
network driver happens automatically - if the vhost-net device is
available, it is always enabled, otherwise the standard userland
virtio backend is used.

This patch makes it possible to force whether or not vhost-net is used
with a bit of XML. Adding a <driver> element to the interface XML, eg:

     <interface type="network">
       <model type="virtio"/>
       <driver name="vhost"/>

will force use of vhost-net (if it's not available, the domain will
fail to start). if driver name="qemu", vhost-net will not be used even
if it is available.

If there is no <driver name='xxx'/> in the config, libvirt will revert
to the pre-existing automatic behavior - use vhost-net if it's
available, and userland backend if vhost-net isn't available.

a950dd2a31 Change virtual network XML parsing/formatting to support IPv6
This commit adds support for IPv6 parsing and formatting to the
virtual network XML parser, including moving around data definitions
to allow for multiple <ip> elements on a single network, but only
changes the consumers of this API to accommodate for the changes in
API/structure, not to add any actual IPv6 functionality. That will
come in a later patch - this patch attempts to maintain the same final
functionality in both drivers that use the network XML parser - vbox
and "bridge" (the Linux bridge-based driver used by the qemu
hypervisor driver).

* src/libvirt_private.syms: Add new private API functions.
* src/conf/network_conf.[ch]: Change C data structure and
  parsing/formatting.
* src/network/bridge_driver.c: Update to use new parser/formatter.
* src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c: update to use new parser/formatter
* docs/schemas/network.rng: changes to the schema -
  * there can now be more than one <ip> element.
  * ip address is now an ip-addr (ipv4 or ipv6) rather than ipv4-addr
  * new optional "prefix" attribute that can be used in place of "netmask"
  * new optional "family" attribute - "ipv4" or "ipv6"
    (will default to ipv4)
  * define data types for the above
* tests/networkxml2xml(in|out)/nat-network.xml: add multiple <ip> elements
  (including IPv6) to a single network definition to verify they are being
  correctly parsed and formatted.

008abeeeb9 make the <dhcp> element optional in network.rng
In practice this has always been optional, but the RNG has shown it as
mandatory, and since all the examples for make check had it, it was
never noticed. One of the existing test cases has been changed to
check for this.

I also noticed that the dhcp/host/ip was still defined as <text/>,
but should really be <ref name='ipv4-addr'/>
