Links between NUMA nodes can have different latencies and
bandwidths. This info is newly defined in ACPI 6.2 under
Heterogeneous Memory Attribute Table (HMAT) table. Linux kernel
learned how to report these values under sysfs and thus we can
expose them in our capabilities XML. The sysfs interface is
documented in kernel's Documentation/admin-guide/mm/numaperf.rst.
Long story short, two nodes can be in initiator-target
relationship. A node can be initiator if it has a CPU or a device
that's capable of initiating memory transfer. Therefore a node
that has just memory can only be target. An initiator-target link
can then have any combination of {bandwidth, latency} - {access,
read, write} attribute (6 in total). However, the standard says
access is applicable iff read and write values are the same.
Therefore, we really have just four combinations of attributes:
bandwidth-read, bandwidth-write, latency-read, latency-write.
This is the combination that kernel reports anyway.
Then, under /sys/system/devices/node/nodeX/acccessN/initiators we
find values for those 4 attributes and also symlinks named
"nodeN" which then represent initiators to nodeX. For instance:
/sys/system/node/node1/access1/initiators/node0 -> ../../node0
/sys/system/node/node1/access1/initiators/read_bandwidth
/sys/system/node/node1/access1/initiators/read_latency
/sys/system/node/node1/access1/initiators/write_bandwidth
/sys/system/node/node1/access1/initiators/write_latency
This means that node0 is initiator and node1 is target and values
of the interconnect can be read.
In theory, there can be separate links to memory side caches too
(e.g. one link from node X to node Y's main memory, another from
node X to node Y's L1 cache, another one to L2 cache and so on).
But sysfs does not express this relationship just yet.
The "accessN" means either "access0" or "access1". The difference
is that while the former expresses the best interconnect between
two nodes including CPUS and I/O devices (such as GPUs and NICs),
the latter includes only CPUs and thus is what we need.

Memory on a NUMA node can have a side caches. Configuring these
for a domain was implemented in v6.6.0-rc1~249 and friends.
However, up until now mgmt applications did not really know what
values to pass because we were not exposing caches of the host.
With recent enough kernel these are exposed under sysfs and with
a bit of parsing we can extend our capabilities XML. The sysfs
structure is documented in kernel's

After previous patches we have two structures:

same thing. And have the exact same members (modulo their names).
Drop the former in favor of the latter.
This change means that distances with value of 0 are no longer
printed out into capabilities XML, because domain XML code allows
partial distance specification and thus threats value of 0 as
unspecified by user (see virDomainNumaGetNodeDistance() which
returns the default LOCAL/REMOTE distance for value of 0).
Also, from ACPI 6.1 specification, section 5.2.17 System Locality
Distance Information Table (SLIT):
Distance values of 0-9 are reserved and have no meaning.

The <teaming> element in <interface> allows pairing two interfaces
together as a simple "failover bond" network device in a guest. One of
the devices is the "transient" interface - it will be preferred for
all network traffic when it is present, but may be removed when
necessary, in particular during migration, when traffic will instead
go through the other interface of the pair - the "persistent"
interface. As it happens, in the QEMU implementation of this teaming
pair (called "virtio failover" in QEMU) the transient interface is
always a host network device assigned to the guest using VFIO (aka
"hostdev"); the persistent interface is always an emulated virtio NIC.
When support was initially added for <teaming>, it was written to
require that the transient/hostdev device be defined using <interface
type='hostdev'>; this was done because the virtio failover
implementation in QEMU and the virtio guest driver demands that the
two interfaces in the pair have matching MAC addresses, and the only
way libvirt can guarantee the MAC address of a hostdev network device
is to use <interface type='hostdev'>, whose main purpose is to
configure the device's MAC address before handing the device to
QEMU. (note that <interface type='hostdev'> in turn requires that the
network device be an SRIOV VF (Virtual Function), as that is the only
type of network device whose MAC address we can set in a way that will
survive the device's driver init in the guest).
It has recently come up that some users are unable to use <teaming>
because they are running in a container environment where libvirt
doesn't have the necessary privileges or resources to set the VF's MAC
address (because setting the VF MAC is done via the same device's PF
(Physical Function), and the PF is not exposed to libvirt's container).
At the same time, these users *are* able to set the VF's MAC address
themselves in advance of staring up libvirt in the container. So they
could theoretically use the <teaming> feature if libvirt just skipped
the "setting the MAC address" part.
Fortunately, that is *exactly* the difference between <interface
type='hostdev'> (which must be a "hostdev VF") and <hostdev> (a "plain
hostdev" - it could be *any* PCI device; libvirt doesn't know what type
of PCI device it is, and doesn't care).
But what is still needed is for libvirt to provide a small bit of
information on the QEMU commandline argument for the hostdev, telling
QEMU that this device will be part of a team ("failover pair"), and
the id of the other device in the pair.
To make both of those goals simultaneously possible, this patch adds
support for the <teaming> element to plain <hostdev> - libvirt doesn't
try to set any MAC addresses, and QEMU gets the extra commandline
argument it needs)
(actually, this patch adds only the parsing/formatting of the
<teaming> element in <hostdev>. The next patch will actually wire that
into the qemu driver.)

used to back guest's NVDIMM (model='nvdimm') the persistence of
guest writes might not be guaranteed while with virtio-pmem it
is.
To express this new model at domain XML level, I've chosen the
following:
<memory model='virtio-pmem' access='shared'>
<source>
<path>/tmp/virtio_pmem</path>
