Cloud-Hypervisor is a KVM virtualization using hypervisor. It
functions similarly to qemu and the libvirt Cloud-Hypervisor driver
uses a very similar structure to the libvirt driver.
The biggest difference from the libvirt perspective is that the
"monitor" socket is seperated into two sockets one that commands are
issued to and one that events are notified from. The current
implementation only uses the command socket (running over a REST API
with json encoded data) with future changes to add support for the
event socket (to better handle shutdowns from inside the VM).
This patch adds support for the following initial VM actions using the
Cloud-Hypervsior API:
* vm.create
* vm.delete
* vm.boot
* vm.shutdown
* vm.reboot
* vm.pause
* vm.resume
To use the Cloud-Hypervisor driver, the v15.0 release of
Cloud-Hypervisor is required to be installed.
Some additional notes:
* The curl handle is persistent but not useful to detect ch process
shutdown/crash (a future patch will address this shortcoming)
* On a 64-bit host Cloud-Hypervisor needs to support PVH and so can
emulate 32-bit mode but it isn't fully tested (a 64-bit kernel and
32-bit userspace is fine, a 32-bit kernel isn't validated)

Match the behavior of most other features.
This will result in a change in behavior, because profiles will
now be installed whenever AppArmor support is enabled; on the
other hand, this is probably the behavior users expected in the
first place.

This flag was originally created to indicate that either 1) the build
platform wasn't linux, 2) the build platform was linux, but the kernel
was too old to have macvtap support. Since there was already a switch
there, the ability to also disable it when 3) the kernel supports
macvtap but the user doesn't want it, was added in. I don't think that
(3) was ever an intentional goal, just something that grew naturally
out of having the flag there in the first place (unless possibly the
original author wanted a way to quickly disable their new code in case
it caused regressions elsewhere).
Now that the check for (2) has been removed, WITH_MACVTAP is just
checking (1) and (3), but (3) is pointless (because the extra code in
libvirt itself is miniscule, and the only external library needed for
it is libnl, which is also required for other unrelated features (and
itself has no subordinate dependencies and takes up < 1MB on
disk)). We can therfore eliminate the WITH_MACVTAP flag, as it is
functionally equivalent to WITH_LIBNL (which implies __linux__).

WITH_VIRTUALPORT just checks that we are building on Linux and that
IFLA_PORT_MAX is defined in linux/if_link.h. Back when 802.11Qb[gh]
support was added, the IFLA_* stuff was new (introduced in kernel
2.6.35, backported to RHEL6 2.6.32 kernel at some point), and so this
extra check was necessary, because libvirt was being built on Linux
distros that didn't yet have IFLA_* (e.g. older RHEL6, all
RHEL5). It's been in the kernel for a *very* long time now, so all
supported versions of all Linux platforms libvirt builds on have it.
Note that the above paragraph implies that the conditional compilation
should be changed to #if defined(__linux__). However, the astute
reader will notice that the code in question is sending and receiving
netlink messages, so it really should be conditional on WITH_LIBNL
(which implies __linux__) instead, so that's what this patch does.

Right now, the logic that takes care of deciding whether expensive
tests should be run or not is not working correctly: more
specifically, it's not possible to use something like
$ VIR_TEST_EXPENSIVE=1 ninja test
to override the default choice, because in meson.build we always
pass an explicit value that overrides whatever is present in the
environment.
We could implement logic to make this work properly, but that
would require some refactoring of our test infrastructure and is
arguably of little value given that running
$ meson build -Dexpensive_tests=enabled
is very fast, so let's just stop telling users about the variable
instead and call it a day.

There was one attempt a year ago done by me to drop HAL [1] but it was
never resolved. There was another time when Dan suggested to drop HAL
driver [2] but it was decided to keep it around in case device
assignment will be implemented for FreeBSD and the fact that
virt-manager uses node device driver [3].
I checked git history and code and it doesn't look like bhyve supports
device assignment so from that POV it should not block removing HAL.
The argument about virt-manager is not strong as well because libvirt
installed from FreeBSD packages doesn't have HAL support so it will not
affect these users as well [4].
The only users affected by this change would be the ones compiling
libvirt from GIT on FreeBSD.
I looked into alternatives and there is libudev-devd package on FreeBSD
but unfortunately it doesn't work as it doesn't list any devices when
used with libvirt. It provides libudev APIs using devd.
I also looked into devd directly and it provides some APIs but there are
no APIs for device monitoring and events so that would have to be
somehow done by libvirt.
Main motivation for dropping HAL support is to replace libdbus with GLib
dbus implementation and it cannot be done with HAL driver present in
libvirt because HAL APIs heavily depends on symbols provided by libdbus.

Right now we're unconditionally adding RPATH information to the
installed binaries and libraries, but that's not always desired.
autotools seem to be smart enough to only include that information
when targeting a non-standard prefix, so most distro packages
don't actually contain it; moreover, both Debian and Fedora have
wiki pages encouraging packagers to avoid setting RPATH:
