Add a --system flag to autogen.sh which gets turned into the args
--prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var to make it
easy to build with settings that match an RPM build
* autogen.sh: Add --system flag
Some of the very useful calls for XML parsing provided by util/xml.[ch]
were not exported as private symbols. This patch fixes this.

Xen HVM guests with PV drivers end up with two network interfaces for
each configured interface. One of them being emulated by qemu and the
other one paravirtual. As this might not be desirable, the attached
patch provides a way for users to specify that only paravirtual network
interface should be presented to the guest.
The configuration was inspired by qemu/kvm driver, for which users can
specify model='virtio' to use paravirtual network interface.
The patch adds support for model='netfront' which results in
type=netfront instead of type=ioemu (or nothing for newer xen versions)
in guests native configuration. Xen's qemu ignores interfaces with
type != ioemu and only paravirtual network device will be seen in the
guest.
Four possible configuration scenarios follow:
- no model specified in domain's XML
- libvirt will behave like before this change; it will set
type=ioemu for HVM guests on xen host which is not newer than
XEND_CONFIG_MAX_VERS_NET_TYPE_IOEMU
- covered by existing tests
- PV guest, any model
- no functional change, model is passed as is (and ignored by the
hypervisor)
- covered by existing tests (e.g., *-net-e1000.*)
- HVM guest, model=netfront
- type is set to "netfront", model is not specified
- covered by new *-net-netfront.* tests
- HVM guest, model != netfront
- type is set to "ioemu", model is passed as is
- covered by new *-net-ioemu.* tests
The fourth scenario feels like a regression for xen newer than
XEND_CONFIG_MAX_VERS_NET_TYPE_IOEMU as users who had a model specified
in their guest's configuration won't see a paravirtual interface in
their guests any more. On the other hand, the reason for specifying a
model is most likely the fact that they want to use such model which
implies emulated interface. Users of older xen won't be affected at all
as their xen provides paravirtual interface regardless of the type used.

esxVMX_IndexToDiskName handles indices up to 701. This limit comes
from a mapping gap in virDiskNameToIndex:
sdzy -> 700
sdzz -> 701
sdaaa -> 728
sdaab -> 729
This line in virDiskNameToIndex causes this gap:
idx = (idx + i) * 26;
Fixing it by altering this line to:
idx = (idx + (i < 1 ? 0 : 1)) * 26;
Also add a new version of virIndexToDiskName that handles the inverse
mapping for arbitrary indices.

qemuDomainObjBeginJobWithDriver, enter/exit monitor with driver

On kernels with HZ=100, the resolution of sleeps in poll() is
quite bad. Doing a precise check on the expiry time vs the
current time will thus often thing the timer has not expired
even though we're within 10ms of the expected expiry time. This
then causes another pointless sleep in poll() for <10ms. Timers
do not need to have such precise expiration, so we treat a timer
as expired if it is within 20ms of the expected expiry time. This
also fixes the eventtest.c test suite on kernels with HZ=100
* daemon/event.c: Add 20ms fuzz when checking for timer expiry
The instruction "See Makefile.am" in libvirt.private_syms
always makes me think that this file is autogenerated
and should not be touched manually. This patch spares
every reader of libvirt.private_syms the hassle of
reading Makefile.am before augmenting libvirt.private_syms.

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'/>

<readonly/>
</disk>

For backward compatibility we used to add the tty path as
a tty attribute on console of type pty, duplicating the value
now found in source/@path, but the Relax-NG grammar wasn't
extended for this
<console type='pty' tty='/dev/pts/8'>
<source path='/dev/pts/8'/>
<target port='0'/>
</console>
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: allow an optional tty attribute
containing a devicePath
Recent qemu releases require command option '-enable-qemu' in order
for the kvm functionality be activated. Libvirt needs to pass this flag
to qemu when starting a domain. Note that without the option,
even if both the kernel and qemu support KVM, KVM will not be activated
and VMs will be very slow.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.h src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: parse the extra command

I realized that I inadvertently added a member to the def struct to
contain each device's sysfs path when there was an existing member in the
dev struct for "OS specific path to device metadat, eg sysfs" Since the
udev backend needs to record the sysfs path while it's in the process of
creating the device, before the dev struct gets allocated, I chose to
remove the member from the dev struct.

VMware uses two MAC address prefixes: 00:0c:29 and 00:50:56. The 00:0c:29
prefix is used for ESX server generated addresses. The 00:50:56 prefix is
split into two parts. MAC addresses above 00:50:56:3f:ff:ff are generated
by a vCenter. The rest of the 00:50:56 prefix can be assigned manually.
Any MAC address within the 00:0c:29 and 00:50:56 prefix can be specified
in a domain XML config and the driver will handle the details internally.
