In formatdomain, using 'libxl' and 'xen' is redundant since they now
both refer to the same driver. 'xen' predates 'libxl' and unambiguously
identifies the Xen hypervisor, so drop the use of 'libxl'.
In aclpolkit, the connection URI was erroneously identified as 'libxl'
and the name 'xenlight'. Change the URI to 'xen' and driver name to 'Xen'.

'passthrough' is Xen-Specific guest configuration option new to Xen 4.13
that enables IOMMU mappings for a guest and hence whether it supports PCI
passthrough. The default is disabled. See the xl.cfg(5) man page and
xen.git commit babde47a3fe for more details.
The default state of disabled prevents hotlugging PCI devices. However,
if the guest configuration contains a PCI passthrough device at time of
creation, libxl will automatically enable 'passthrough' and subsequent
hotplugging of PCI devices will also be possible. It is not possible to
unconditionally enable 'passthrough' since it would introduce a migration
incompatibility due to guest ABI change. Instead, introduce another Xen
hypervisor feature that can be used to enable guest PCI passthrough
<features>
<xen>
<passthrough state='on'/>
</xen>
</features>
To allow finer control over how IOMMU maps to guest P2M table, the
passthrough element also supports a 'mode' attribute with values
restricted to snyc_pt and share_pt, similar to xl.cfg(5) 'passthrough'
setting .

e820_host is a Xen-specific option, only available for PV domains, that
provides the domain a virtual e820 memory map based on the host one. It
is enabled with a new Xen hypervisor feature, e.g.
<features>
<xen>
<e820_host state='on'/>
</xen>

e820_host is required when using PCI passthrough and is generally
considered safe for any PV kernel. e820_host is silently ignored if set
in HVM domain configuration. See xl.cfg(5) man page in the Xen
documentation for more details.

The section about VFIO devices is kept separate from the rest
because it's less about domain XML and guest OS disagreeing on the
PCI address of a device, and more about which of the two PCI
addresses in the domain XML is even relevant to the guest OS.
The section on zPCI addresses, on the other hand, falls squarely
in the "more complex cases" category, so it should live in the
corresponding section.

a <controller type='pci'...> element can now have a "hotplug"
attribute in the <target> subelement. This is intended to control
whether or not the slot(s) of the controller support
hotplugging/unplugging a device:
<controller type='pci' model='pcie-root-port'>
<target hotplug='off'/>
</controller>
The default value of hotplug is "on".
Since support for configuring such an option is hypervisor-dependent
(and will vary among different types of PCI controllers even on a
single hypervisor), no validation is done in this patch - that
validation will be done in the patch that wires support for the
setting into the hypervisor.
