0f8e7ae33a qemu: Support numad
numad is an user-level daemon that monitors NUMA topology and
processes resource consumption to facilitate good NUMA resource
alignment of applications/virtual machines to improve performance
and minimize cost of remote memory latencies. It provides a
pre-placement advisory interface, so significant processes can
be pre-bound to nodes with sufficient available resources.

More details: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/numad

"numad -w ncpus:memory_amount" is the advisory interface numad
provides currently.

This patch add the support by introducing a new XML attribute
for <vcpu>. e.g.

  <vcpu placement="auto">4</vcpu>
  <vcpu placement="static" cpuset="1-10^6">4</vcpu>

The returned advisory nodeset from numad will be printed
in domain's dumped XML. e.g.
  <vcpu placement="auto" cpuset="1-10^6">4</vcpu>

If placement is "auto", the number of vcpus and the current
memory amount specified in domain XML will be used for numad
command line (numad uses MB for memory amount):
  numad -w $num_of_vcpus:$current_memory_amount / 1024

The advisory nodeset returned from numad will be used to set
domain process CPU affinity then. (e.g. qemuProcessInitCpuAffinity).

If the user specifies both CPU affinity policy (e.g.
(<vcpu cpuset="1-10,^7,^8">4</vcpu>) and placement == "auto"
the specified CPU affinity will be overridden.

Only QEMU/KVM drivers support it now.

See docs update in patch for more details.

265457845f xml: output memory unit for clarity
Make it obvious to 'dumpxml' readers what unit we are using,
since our default of KiB for memory (1024) differs from qemu's
default of MiB; and differs from our use of bytes for storage.

Tests were updated via:

$ find tests/*data tests/*out -name '*.xml' | \
  xargs sed -i 's/<\(memory\|currentMemory\|hard_limit\|soft_limit\|min_guarantee\|swap_hard_limit\)>/<\1 unit='"'KiB'>/"
$ find tests/*data tests/*out -name '*.xml' | \
  xargs sed -i 's/<\(capacity\|allocation\|available\)>/<\1 unit='"'bytes'>/"

followed by a few fixes for the stragglers.

Note that with this patch, the RNG for <memory> still forbids
validation of anything except unit='KiB', since the code silently
ignores the attribute; a later patch will expand <memory> to allow
scaled input in the code and update the RNG to match.

4288b22fb2 conf: Introduce new attribute for device address format
* src/conf/domain_conf.h: Add new member "target" to struct
  _virDomainDeviceDriveAddress.

* src/conf/domain_conf.c: Parse and format "target"

* Lots of tests (.xml) in tests/domainsnapshotxml2xmlout,
  tests/qemuxml2argvdata, tests/qemuxml2xmloutdata, and
  tests/vmx2xmldata/ are modified for newly introduced
  attribute "target" for address of "drive" type.

42043afcdc domain: add implicit USB controller
Some tools, such as virt-manager, prefers having the default USB
controller explicit in the XML document. This patch makes sure there
is one. With this patch, it is now possible to switch from USB1 to
USB2 from the release 0.9.1 of virt-manager.

Fix tests to pass with this change.

be87a1236e spicevmc: support new qemu chardev
Inspired by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=615757

Add a new character device backend for virtio serial channels that
activates the QEMU spice agent on the main channel using the vdagent
spicevmc connection.  The <target> must be type='virtio', and supports
an optional name that specifies how the guest will see the channel
(for now, name must be com.redhat.spice.0).

<channel type='spicevmc'>
  <target type='virtio'/>
  <address type='virtio-serial' controller='1' bus='0' port='3'/>
</channel>

* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Support new XML.
* docs/formatdomain.html.in: Document it.
* src/conf/domain_conf.h (virDomainChrType): New enum value.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c (virDomainChr): Add spicevmc.
(virDomainChrDefParseXML, virDomainChrSourceDefParseXML)
(virDomainChrDefParseTargetXML): Parse and enforce proper use.
(virDomainChrSourceDefFormat, virDomainChrDefFormat): Format.
* src/qemu/qemu_command.c (qemuBuildChrChardevStr)
(qemuBuildCommandLine): Add qemu support.
* tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c (domain): New test.
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-channel-spicevmc.xml: New
file.
* tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-channel-spicevmc.args:
Likewise.
