Since only one mediated hostdev with model vfio-ap is supported a check

6af8417415 conf: Introduce RDT monitor host capability
This patch is introducing cache monitor(CMT) to cache and
memory bandwidth monitor(MBM) for monitoring CPU memory
bandwidth.

The host capability of the two monitors is also introduced
in this patch.

For CMT, the host capability is shown like:
  <host>
  ...
    <cache>
      <bank id='0' level='3' type='both' size='15' unit='MiB' cpus='0-5'>
        <control granularity='768' min='1536' unit='KiB' type='both' maxAllocs='4'/>
      </bank>
      <monitor level='3' 'reuseThreshold'='270336' maxMonitors='176'>
        <feature name='llc_occupancy'/>
      </monitor>
    </cache>
    ...
  </host>

For MBM, the capability is shown like this:
  <host>
    ...
    <memory_bandwidth>
      <node id='1' cpus='6-11'>
        <control granularity='10' min ='10' maxAllocs='4'/>
      </node>
      <monitor maxMonitors='176'>
        <feature name='mbm_total_bytes'/>
        <feature name='mbm_local_bytes'/>
      </monitor>
    </memory_bandwidth>
    ...
  </host>

5bdcef13d1 libxl: drop support for Xen < 4.6
Currently the libxl driver claims support for Xen >= 4.4, but
Xen 4.4 and 4.5 are no longer supported upstream. Let's increase
the minimum supported Xen version to 4.6 and change the defined
LIBXL_API_VERSION to 0x040500, which is the API version defined
when Xen 4.6 was released.

Since Xen 4.6 contains a pkgconfig file, drop the now unused code
that falls back to using LIBVIRT_CHECK_LIB in the absence of
pkgconfig file. In addition, bumping the LIBXL_API_VERSION
required adjusting the calls to libxl_set_vcpuaffinity to account
for the extra parameter in the 0x040500 version of the API.

The name is based on comments in qemu/hw/riscv/virt.c:

and in qemu/hw/char/serial.c:

  QEMU 16550A UART emulation

along with the output of dmesg in the guest:

  Serial: 8250/16550 driver, 4 ports, IRQ sharing disabled
  10000000.uart: ttyS0 at MMIO 0x10000000 (irq = 13,

cfdc0c771a Forget last daemon/ dir artefacts
The most important part is LIBVIRTD_PATH env var fix. It is used
in virFileFindResourceFull() from tests. The libvirtd no longer
lives under daemon/.

Then, libvirtd-fail test was still failing (as expected) but not
because of missing config file but because it was trying to
execute (nonexistent) top_builddir/daemon/libvirtd which
fulfilled expected outcome and thus test did not fail.

Thirdly, lcov was told to generate coverage for daemon/ dir too.

Fourthly, our compiling documentation was still suggesting to run
daemonn/libvirtd.

And finally, some comments in a systemtap file and a probes file
were still referring to daemon/libvirtd.
