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.

In [1], changes were made to remove the existing auto-alignment
for pSeries NVDIMM devices. That design promotes strange situations
where the NVDIMM size reported in the domain XML is different
from what QEMU is actually using. We removed the auto-alignment
and relied on standard size validation.
However, this goes against Libvirt design philosophy of not
tampering with existing guest behavior, as pointed out by Daniel
in [2]. Since we can't know for sure whether there are guests that
are relying on the auto-alignment feature to work, the changes
made in [1] are a direct violation of this rule.
This patch reverts [1] entirely, re-enabling auto-alignment for
pSeries NVDIMM as it was before. Changes will be made to ease
the limitations of this design without hurting existing
guests.

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.

With use of virt-ssh-helper, we can now support remote session URIs

Local socket connections were outright disabled because there was no "server"
part in the URI. However, given how requirements and usage scenarios are
evolving, some management apps might need the source libvirt daemon to connect
to the destination daemon over a UNIX socket for peer2peer migration. Since we
cannot know where the socket leads (whether the same daemon or not) let's decide
that based on whether the socket path is non-standard, or rather explicitly
specified in the URI. Checking non-standard path would require to ask the
daemon for configuration and the only misuse that it would prevent would be a
pretty weird one. And that's not worth it. The assumption is that whenever
someone uses explicit UNIX socket paths in the URI for migration they better
know what they are doing.

By default Xen only allows guests to write "known safe" values into PCI
configuration space, yet many devices require writes to other areas of
the configuration space in order to operate properly. To allow writing
any values Xen supports the 'permissive' setting, see xl.cfg(5) man page.
This change models Xen's permissive setting by adding a writeFiltering
attribute on the <source> element of a PCI hostdev. When writeFiltering
is set to 'no', the Xen permissive setting will be enabled and guests
will be able to write any values into the device's configuration space.
The permissive setting remains disabled in the absense of the
writeFiltering attribute, of if it is explicitly set to 'yes'.

Role(master or peer) controls how the domain behaves on migration.
For more details about migration with ivshmem, see
https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=blob_plain;f=docs/system/ivshmem.rst;hb=HEAD
It's a optional attribute in libvirt, and qemu will choose default
role for ivshmem device if the user is not specified.
With device property 'role', the value can be 'master' or 'peer'.
- 'master' (means 'master=on' in qemu), the guest will copy
the shared memory on migration to the destination host.
- 'peer' (means 'master=off' in qemu), the migration is disabled.

The semantics of the backup operation don't strictly require that all
disks being backed up are part of the same incremental part (when a disk
was checkpointed/backed up separately or in a different VM), or even
they may not have a previous checkpoint at all (e.g. when the disk
was freshly hotplugged to the vm).
In such cases we can still create a common checkpoint for all of them
and backup differences according to configuration.
This patch adds a per-disk configuration of the checkpoint to do the
incremental backup from via the 'incremental' attribute and allows
perform full backups via the 'backupmode' attribute.
Note that no changes to the qemu driver are necessary to take advantage
of this as we already obey the per-disk 'incremental' field.

QEMU 4.1.0 introduced a new device type called TPM Proxy, currently
implemented by PPC64 guests via a new virtual device called
'spapr-tpm-proxy' (see QEMU 0fb6bd073230 for more info).
The TPM Proxy device interacts with a TPM Resource Manager, a host
device capable of multiplexing the host TPM with multiple processes.
This allows multiple guests to access some TPM features at the
same time. Note that this mode of operation does not provide
full TPM features to be available for the guest - for that case
the guest still needs to assign a vTPM device (tpm-spapr for
PPC64 guests). Although redundant, there is currently no technical
limitation for a guest to assign both a vTPM and a TPM Proxy at the
same time.
This patch adds documentation and schema for a new TPM model
type called 'spapr-tpm-proxy' that creates this new TPM Proxy
device. This model is valid only for the 'passthrough' backend.
An example of a TPM Proxy device connected to a TPM Resource Manager
'/dev/tpmrm0' will look like this:
<tpm model='spapr-tpm-proxy'>
<backend type='passthrough'>
<device path='/dev/tpmrm0'/>
</backend>

On Linux, changing the nodeset on 'numatune' does not imply that
the guest memory will be migrated on the spot to the new nodeset.
The memory migration is tied on guest usage of the memory pages,
and an idle guest will take longer to have its memory migrated
to the new nodeset.
This is a behavior explained in detail in the Linux kernel
documentation in Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v1/cpusets.rst.
The user doesn't need this level of detail though - just needs
his/her expectations under check. Running 'numastat' and hoping
for instant memory migration from the previous nodeset to the new
one is not viable.
There's also parts of the memory that are locked by QEMU in the
same place, e.g. when VFIO devices are present. Let's also
mention it as another factor that impacts the results the
user might expect from NUMA memory migration with numatune.
