While trying to compare netfs against my new gluster pool, I
discovered two things:
virt-xml-validate chokes on valid xml produced by 'virsh pool-dumpxml'
[yet another reason that ALL patches that add new xml should be adding
corresponding tests]
When using glusterfs FUSE mounts, you cannot access a subdirectory
of a gluster volume. The recommended workaround in the gluster
community is to mount the volume to an intermediate location, then
bind-mount the desired subdirectory to the final location. Maybe
we should teach libvirt to do bind-mounting, but for now I chose to
just document the limitation.

The linux kernel recently added support for paravirtual spinlock
handling to avoid performance regressions on overcomitted hosts. This
feature needs to be turned in the hypervisor so that the guest OS is
notified about the possible support.
This patch adds a new feature "paravirt-spinlock" to the XML and
supporting code to enable the "kvm_pv_unhalt" pseudo CPU feature in
qemu.

Expand the "secmodel" XML fragment of "host" with a sequence of
baselabel's which describe the default security context used by
libvirt with a specific security model and virtualization type:
<secmodel>
<model>selinux</model>
<doi>0</doi>
<baselabel type='kvm'>system_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0</baselabel>
<baselabel type='qemu'>system_u:system_r:svirt_tcg_t:s0</baselabel>
</secmodel>
<secmodel>
<model>dac</model>
<doi>0</doi>
<baselabel type='kvm'>107:107</baselabel>
<baselabel type='qemu'>107:107</baselabel>
</secmodel>
"baselabel" is driver-specific information, e.g. in the DAC security
model, it indicates USER_ID:GROUP_ID.

Prefer using VFIO (if available) to the legacy KVM device passthrough.
With this patch a PCI passthrough device without the driver configured
will be started with VFIO if it's available on the host. If not legacy
KVM passthrough is checked and error is reported if it's not available.
Since 76b644c when the support for RAM filesystems was introduced,
libvirt accepted the following XML:
<source usage='1024' unit='KiB'/>
This was parsed correctly and internally stored in bytes, but it
was formatted as (with an extra 's'):
<source usage='1024' units='KiB'/>
When read again, this was treated as if the units were missing,
meaning libvirt was unable to parse its own XML correctly.
The usage attribute was documented as being in KiB, but it was not
scaled if the unit was missing. Transient domains still worked,
because this was balanced by an extra 'k' in the mount options.
This patch:
Changes the parser to use 'units' instead of 'unit', as the latter
was never documented (fixing persistent domains) and some programs
(libvirt-glib, libvirt-sandbox) already parse the 'units' attribute.
Removes the extra 'k' from the tmpfs mount options, which is needed
because now we parse our own XML correctly.
Changes the default input unit to KiB to match documentation, fixing:

Commit id 'c4a4603de' added an output <path> to the nodedev xml, but
did not update the schema.
This resulted in the failure of the 'virt-xml-validate' on a file
generated by 'virsh nodedev-dumpxml pci_0000_00_00_0' (for example).
This was found/seen by running autotest on my host.

This device is identical to qemu's "intel-hda" device (known as "ich6"
in libvirt), but has a different PCI device ID (which matches the ID
of the hda audio built into the ich9 chipset, of course). It's not
supported in earlier versions of qemu, so it requires a capability
bit.
The xml files are generated in build directory and thus docs/newapi.xsl
was not able to find them in a VPATH build.

Currently the XML parser already allows the following syntax:
<disk type='block' device='cdrom'>
<source startupPolicy='optional'/>
<target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
</disk>
But it if the dev value is NULL then it would not have the leading
"<source ", resulting in invalid XML.
qemu/KVM also supports a tftp URL while specifying the cdrom ISO image.
The xml should be as following:
<disk type='network' device='cdrom'>
<source protocol='tftp' name='/url/path'>
<host name='host.name' port='69'/>

According to VMWare's documentation 'cdrom-raw' is an acceptable value
for deviceType for a CD-ROM drive. The documentation states that the VMX
configuration for a CD-ROM deviceType is as follows:
ide|scsi(n):(n).deviceType = "cdrom-raw|atapi-cdrom|cdrom-image"
From the documentation it appears the following is true:
- cdrom-image = Provides the ISO to the VM
- atapi-cdrom = Provides a NEC emulated ATAPI CD-ROM on top of the host
CD-ROM
- cdrom-raw = Passthru for a host CD-ROM drive. Allows CD-R burning from
within the guest.
A CD-ROM prior to this patch would always provide an 'atapi-cdrom' is
modeled as:
<disk type='block' device='cdrom'>
<source dev='/dev/scd0'/>
<target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
</disk>
This patch allows the 'device' attribute to be set to 'lun' for a raw
acccess CD-ROM such as:
<disk type='block' device='lun'>
<source dev='/dev/scd0'/>
<target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
</disk>
This corresponds to '-sd' and '-drive if=sd' on the qemu command line.
Needed for many ARM boards which don't provide any other way to
pass in storage.
