We always tried to install backing store for the image even if it didn't
make sense, e.g. for a full backup into a raw image. Additionally we
didn't record the backing file into the qcow2 metadata so the image
itself contained the diff of data but reading from it would be
incomplete as it depends on the backing image.
This patch fixes both issues by carefully installing the correct backing
file when appropriate and also recording it into the metadata when
creating the image.

Before this patch we would simply rely on QEMU failing to attach the
device. Since we have a flag in the address set telling us which
controllers support hotplug, we can fail the operation sooner.
This also assures that when hotplugging with no provided PCI address,
that we skip any controllers with hotplug='off', and attempt to assign
the device to a controller that not only supports hotplug, but also
has it enabled.

virDomainPCIAddressBusSetModel() is called for each PCI controller
when building an address set prior to assiging PCI addresses to
devices.
This patch adds a new argument, allowHotplug, to that function that
can be set to false if we know for certain that a particular
controller won't support hotplug
The most interesting case is in qemuDomainPCIAddressSetCreate(), where
the config of each existing controller is available while building the
address set, so we can appropriately set allowHotplug = false when the
user has "hotplug='off'" in the config of a controller that normally
would support hotplug. In all other cases, it is set to true or false
in accordance with the capability of the controller model.
So far we aren't doing anything with this bus flag in the address set.

Old behavior: If the address was manually provided by config, copy
device AUTOASSIGN flag into the bus flag, and then later on in the
function *always* check for a match of the flags (which will always
match if the address came from config, since we just copied it).
New behavior: Don't mess with the bus flags - just directly check if
the AUTOASSIGN flag matches in bus and dev, but only make the check if
the address didn't come from config (i.e. it was auto-assigned by
libvirt).

When the HOTPLUGGABLE flag was originally added, it was set for all
the PCI controllers that accepted hotplugged devices, and requested
for all devices that were auto-assigned to a controller. While we're
still autoassigning to the same list of controllers, those controllers
may or may not support hotplug, so let's use the flag that fits what
we're actually doing.

This new flag will be set for any controller that we decide can have
devices assigned to it automatically during PCI device assignment. In
the past PCI_CONNECT_TYPE_HOTPLUGGABLE was used for this purpose, but
that is overloading that flag, and no longer technically correct; what
we *really* want is to auto-assign devices to any pcie-root-port or
pcie-switch-downstream-port regardless of whether or not that
controller happens to have hotplug enabled.
This patch just adds the flag, but doesn't use it at all. Note that
the numbering of all the other flags was changed in order to insert
the new flag near the beginning of the list; that doesn't cause any
problem because the connect flags aren't stored anywhere between runs
of libvirtd.

If a pcie-root-port or pcie-downstream-port has hotplug='off' in its
<target> subelement, and if the qemu binary supports the hotplug=false
option, then it will be added to the commandline for the pcie
controller. This controller will then not allow any hotplug/unplug of
devices while the guest is running (and the hotplug capability won't
be advertised to the guest OS, so the guest OS also won't present
unplugging of PCI devices as an option).
<controller type='pci' model='pcie-root-port'>
<target hotplug='off'/>

For any PCI controllers other than pcie-downstream-port and

a <controller type='pci'...> element can now have a "hotplug"
attribute in the <target> subelement. This is intended to control
whether or not the slot(s) of the controller support
hotplugging/unplugging a device:
<controller type='pci' model='pcie-root-port'>
<target hotplug='off'/>
</controller>
The default value of hotplug is "on".
Since support for configuring such an option is hypervisor-dependent
(and will vary among different types of PCI controllers even on a
single hypervisor), no validation is done in this patch - that
validation will be done in the patch that wires support for the
setting into the hypervisor.

In a guest with only one vcpu, when pinning the emulator in say CPU184
and the vcpu0 in CPU0 of the host, the user might expect that only
CPU0 and CPU184 of the host will be used by the guest.
The reality is that Libvirt takes some time to honor the emulator
and vcpu pinning, taking care of NUMA constraints first. This will
result in other CPUs of the host being potentially used by the
QEMU thread until the emulator/vcpu pinning is done. The user
then might be confused by the output of 'virsh cpu-stats' in this
scenario, showing around 200 microseconds of cycles being spent
in other CPUs.
Let's document this behavior, which is explained in detail in
Libvirt commit v5.0.0-199-gf136b83139, in the cputune section

Event channels are like PV interrupts and in conjuction with grant frames
form a data transfer mechanism for PV drivers. They are also used for
inter-processor interrupts. Guests with a large number of vcpus and/or
many PV devices many need to increase the maximum default value of 1023.
For this reason the native Xen config format supports the
'max_event_channels' setting. See xl.cfg(5) man page for more details.
Similar to the existing maxGrantFrames option, add a new xenbus controller
option 'maxEventChannels', allowing to adjust the maximum value via libvirt.
