7286279797 conf: Add 'x' and 'y' resolution into video XML definition
This commit adds resolution element with parameters 'x' and 'y' into video
XML domain group definition. Both, properties were added into an element
called 'resolution' and it was added inside 'model' element. They are set
as optional. This element does not follow QEMU properties 'xres' and
'yres' format. Both HTML documentation and schema were changed too. This
commit includes a simple test case to cover resolution for QEMU video
models. The new XML format for resolution looks like:

    <model ...>
      <resolution x='800' y='600'/>
    </model>

fd03d0e692 qemu: add a new video device model 'ramfb'
This device is a very simple framebuffer device supported by qemu that
is mostly intended to use as a boot framebuffer in conjunction with a
vgpu. However, there is also a standalone ramfb device that can be used
as a primary display device and is useful for e.g. aarch64 guests where
different memory mappings between the host and guest can prevent use of
other devices with framebuffers such as virtio-vga.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1679680 describes the
issues in more detail.

77f72a8615 conf: new "managed" attribute for target dev of <interface type='ethernet'>
Although <interface type='ethernet'> has always been able to use an
existing tap device, this is just a coincidence due to the fact that
the same ioctl is used to create a new tap device or get a handle to
an existing device.

Even then, once we have the handle to the device, we still insist on
doing extra setup to it (setting the MAC address and IFF_UP).  That
*might* be okay if libvirtd is running as a privileged process, but if
libvirtd is running as an unprivileged user, those attempted
modifications to the tap device will fail (yes, even if the tap is set
to be owned by the user running libvirtd). We could avoid this if we
knew that the device already existed, but as stated above, an existing
device and new device are both accessed in the same manner, and
anyway, we need to preserve existing behavior for those who are
already using pre-existing devices with privileged libvirtd (and
allowing/expecting libvirt to configure the pre-existing device).

In order to cleanly support the idea of using a pre-existing and
pre-configured tap device, this patch introduces a new optional
attribute "managed" for the interface <target> element. This
attribute is only valid for <interface type='ethernet'> (since all
other interface types have mandatory config that doesn't apply in the
case where we expect the tap device to be setup before we
get it). The syntax would look something like this:

   <interface type='ethernet'>
      <target dev='mytap0' managed='no'/>
      ...
   </interface>

This patch just adds managed to the grammar and parser for <target>,
but has no functionality behind it.

(NB: when managed='no' (the default when not specified is 'yes'), the
target dev is always a name explicitly provided, so we don't
auto-remove it from the config just because it starts with "vnet"
(VIR_NET_GENERATED_TAP_PREFIX); this makes it possible to use the
same pattern of names that libvirt itself uses when it automatically
creates the tap devices.)

cb12c59dac qemu: support for kvm-hint-dedicated performance hint
QEMU version 2.12.1 introduced a performance feature under commit
be7773268d98 ("target-i386: add KVM_HINTS_DEDICATED performance hint")

This patch adds a new KVM feature 'hint-dedicated' to set this performance
hint for KVM guests. The feature is off by default.

To enable this hint and have libvirt add "-cpu host,kvm-hint-dedicated=on"
to the QEMU command line, the following XML code needs to be added to the
guest's domain description in conjunction with CPU mode='host-passthrough'.

  <features>
    <kvm>
      <hint-dedicated state='on'/>
    </kvm>
  </features>

09eb1ae0ec conf: Add a new 'xenbus' controller type
xenbus is virtual controller (akin to virtio controllers) for Xen
paravirtual devices. Although all Xen VMs have a xenbus, it has
never been modeled in libvirt, or in Xen native VM config format
for that matter.

Recently there have been requests to support Xen's max_grant_frames
setting in libvirt. max_grant_frames is best modeled as an attribute
of xenbus. It describes the maximum IO buffer space (or DMA space)
available in xenbus for use by connected paravirtual devices. This
patch introduces a new xenbus controller type that includes a
maxGrantFrames attribute.

d947fa8a08 conf: Introduce firmware attribute to <os/>
The idea is that using this attribute users enable libvirt to
automagically select firmware image for their domain. For
instance:

  <os firmware='efi'>
    <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-4.0'>hvm</type>
    <loader secure='no'/>
  </os>

  <os firmware='bios'>
    <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-q35-4.0'>hvm</type>
  </os>

(The automagic of selecting firmware image will be described in
later commits.)

Accepted values are 'bios' and 'efi' to let libvirt select
corresponding type of firmware.

I know it is a good sign to introduce xml2xml test case when
changing XML config parser but that will have to come later.
Firmware auto selection is not enabled for any driver just yet so
any xml2xml test would fail right away.

73fc8c491e conf: Introduce 'pmem' element into xml for NVDIMM memory
The 'pmem' option allows users to specify whether the backend
storage of memory-backend-file is a real persistent memory:

80d1ed9773 conf: Introduce 'alignsize' element into xml for NVDIMM memory
NVDIMM emulation will mmap the backend file, it uses host pagesize
as the alignment of mapping address before, but some backends may
require alignments different from the pagesize. So the 'alignsize'
option is introduced to allow specification of the proper alignment:

      <source>
          <path>/dev/dax0.0</path>

          </label>
      </target>

fe8eb8839a docs: Improve description of <hard_limit>
/domain/memtune/hard_limit provides a way to cap the memory a VM process
can use, including the amount of memory the process can lock. When memory
locking of a VM is requested, <hard_limit> can be used to prevent the
potential host DoS issue mentioned in /domain/memoryBacking/locked
description.

This patch improves the <hard_limit> text by clarifying it can be used
to prevent "host crashing" when VM memory is locked.

29682196d8 Drop UML driver
The driver is unmaintained, untested and severely broken for
quite some time now. Since nobody even reported any issue with it
let us drop it.
