d72d92565b esx: Add support for the controller element
Also don't abuse the disk driver name to specify the SCSI controller
model anymore:

  <driver name='buslogic'/>

Use the newly added model attribute of the controller element for this:

  <controller type='scsi' index='0' model='buslogic'/>

The disk driver name approach is deprecated now, but still works for
backward compatibility reasons.

Update the documentation and tests accordingly.

Fix usage of the words controller and id in the VMX handling code. Use
controller, bus and unit properly.

4acab37f56 esx: Allow 'lsisas1068' as SCSI controller type
Extend tests to cover all SCSI controller types and document the
new type.

The lsisas1068 SCSI controller type was added in ESX 4.0. The VMX
parser reports an error when this controller type is present. This
makes virsh dumpxml fail for every domain that uses this controller
type.

This patch fixes this and adds lsisas1068 to the list of accepted
SCSI controller types.

Reported by Jonathan Kelley.

96ceb12443 esx: Fix 'vpx' MAC address range and allow arbitrary MAC addresses
The MAC addresses with 00:50:56 prefix are split into several ranges:

  00:50:56:00:00:00 - 00:50:56:3f:ff:ff  'static' range (manually assigned)
  00:50:56:80:00:00 - 00:50:56:bf:ff:ff  'vpx' range (assigned by a VI Client)

Erroneously the 'vpx' range was assumed to be larger and to occupy the
remaining addresses of the 00:50:56 prefix that are not part of the 'static'
range.

00:50:56 was used as prefix for generated MAC addresses, this is not possible
anymore, because there are gaps in the allowed ranges. Therefore, change the
prefix to 00:0c:29 which is the prefix for auto generated MAC addresses anyway.

Allow arbitrary MAC addresses to be used and set the checkMACAddress VMX option
to false in case the MAC address doesn't fall into any predefined range.

* docs/drvesx.html.in: update website accordingly
* src/esx/esx_driver.c: set the auto generation prefix to 00:0c:29
* src/esx/esx_vmx.c: fix MAC address range handling and allow arbitrary MAC
  addresses
* tests/vmx2xml*, tests/xml2vmx*: add some basic MAC address range tests
