The current code was a little bit odd. At first we've removed all
possible implicit input devices from domain definition to add them later
back if there was any graphics device defined while parsing XML
description. That's not all, while formating domain definition to XML
description we at first ignore any input devices with bus different to
USB and VIRTIO and few lines later we add implicit input devices to XML.
This seems to me as a lot of code for nothing. This patch may look
to be more complicated than original approach, but this is a preferred
way to modify/add driver specific stuff only in those drivers and not
deal with them in common parsing/formating functions.
The update is to add those implicit input devices into config XML to
follow the real HW configuration visible by guest OS.
There was also inconsistence between our behavior and QEMU's in the way,
that in QEMU there is no way how to disable those implicit input devices
for x86 architecture and they are available always, even without graphics
device. This applies also to XEN hypervisor. VZ driver already does its
part by putting correct implicit devices into live XML.

There are no options to parse here other than the name of the device,
and all three possible device names have the same prefix
("virtio-balloon" with "-ccw", "-pci", or "-device" appended), so the
code is fairly simple. It has been implemented such that it will be
easier to add handling for other -device entries that aren't otherwise
recognized - just add another "else if (STRPREFIX(opts, ....)" clause.
qemuParseCommandLineString() previously would always add a <memballoon
model='virtio'/> to every result (the comments erroneously say that it
is adding a <memballoon model='none'/>) This has been changed to add
model='none', and 84 test case xml's updated accordingly (so that
qemuxml2argvtest won't fail).
Now that the memballoon device is properly parsed, we can safely add a
test for properly ignoring -nodefconfig and -nodefaults. Rather than
adding an entire new test case for this (and memballoon), we just
randomly pick the clock-utc test and modify it slightly to fulfill the
purpose.
QEMU introduced command line "-mem-merge=on|off" (defaults to on) to
enable/disable the memory merge (KSM) at guest startup. This exposes
it by new XML:
<memoryBacking>
<nosharepages/>
</memoryBacking>
The XML tag is same with what we used internally for old RHEL.
