d78554d884 Specify bus/unit instead of index for disks with QEMU
The current code for using -drive simply sets the -drive 'index'
parameter. QEMU internally converts this to bus/unit depending
on the type of drive. This does not give us precise control over
the bus/unit assignment though. This change switches over to make
libvirt explicitly calculate the bus/unit number.

In addition bus/unit/index are actually irrelevant for VirtIO
disks, since each virtio disk is a separate PCI device. No disk
controller is involved.

Doing the conversion to bus/unit in libvirt allows us to correctly
attach SCSI controllers when required.

* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Specify bus/unit instead of index for
  disks
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-disk*.args: Switch over from
  using index=NNNN, to bus=NN, unit=NN for SCSI/IDE/Floppy disks

e7c78b0a94 Support QEMU's virtual FAT block device driver
Introduce a new type="dir"  mode for <disks> that allows use of
QEMU's  virtual FAT block device driver. eg

    <disk type='dir' device='floppy'>
      <source dir='/tmp/test'/>
      <target dev='fda' bus='fdc'/>
      <readonly/>
    </disk>

gets turned into

  -drive file=fat:floppy:/tmp/test,if=floppy,index=0

Only read-only disks are supported with virtual FAT mode

62455ed872 Switch to using a unix socket for the qemu monitor
We keep support for the pty based monitor so that we can re-connect
to VMs started by older versions of libvirtd.

* src/domain_conf.c: handle formatting and parsing unix monitors

* src/qemu_driver.c: add qemudOpenMonitorUnix(), remove the monitor
  pty path searching from qemudFindCharDevicePTYs(), switch
  qemudStartVMDaemon() and qemuDomainXMLToNative() to using a unix
  monitor

* tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c: switch to using a unix monitor

* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-*.args: update test data

a331653dad Add pidfile argument to __virExec
virExec will write out the pid of the daemonized process only. Use this
in the QEMU driver, rather than QEMU's pidfile, so we can catch errors we
might miss if the emulator bails early.

efb8492b9d tests: append a newline to expected-output files lacking NL-at-EOF
* tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c (testCompareXMLToArgvFiles): Adjust the
code that creates "actual" output, so that it too produces a
newline-terminated buffer.
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/*.args: Append a newline to each, via:
for i in $(find|grep '\.args$'); do echo >> $i;done

654c5714bf The new generic domain re-factor introduced a small regression into the drive
handling code.  In particular, if you had a section of XML like:

    <disk type='file' device='cdrom'>
      <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/>
      <readonly/>
    </disk>

This used to work with older libvirt, but now fails.  This is because we are
actually passing the literal string (null) to the qemu command-line, which qemu
barfs on.  This patch fixes it up by making it blank, which allows qemu to
continue on it's merry way.
