The "libvirt supports:" section on the main page of libvirt.org
contains a list of hypervisors with links that point to the sites of
the underlying virt technologies. The entry for KVM points to
http://www.linux-kvm.org/, for example. People coming to libvirt.org
for the first time are likely to know about those sites, and they're
probably interested in how libvirt manages those technologies. This
patch points those links to the libvirt driver pages instead. It also
consolidates KVM and QEMU as there is only one libvirt driver page for
them. Finally, it adds a line about networking support.
v2: incorporate Eric's feedback adding project links to driver pages.

The current LXC I/O controller looks for HUP to detect
when a guest has quit. This isn't reliable as during
initial bootup it is possible that 'init' will close
the console and let mingetty re-open it. The shutdown
of containers was also flakey because it only killed
the libvirt I/O controller and expected container
processes to gracefully follow.
Change the I/O controller such that when it see HUP
or an I/O error, it uses kill($PID, 0) to see if the
process has really quit.
Change the container shutdown sequence to use the
virCgroupKillPainfully function to ensure every
really goes away
This change makes the use of the 'cpu', 'devices'
and 'memory' cgroups controllers compulsory with
LXC
* docs/drvlxc.html.in: Document that certain cgroups
controllers are now mandatory
* src/lxc/lxc_controller.c: Check if PID is still
alive before quitting on I/O error/HUP
* src/lxc/lxc_driver.c: Use virCgroupKillPainfully
This patch is the result of running the following command in the docs
directory: sed -i 's/\t/ /g; s/\s*$//' *.html.in
* docs/*.html.in:convert tabs into 8 spaces and remove trailing whitespace
