13579d4544 Add 'nbd' as a valid filesystem driver type
The <filesystem> element can now accept a <driver type='nbd'/>
as an alternative to 'loop'. The benefit of NBD is support
for non-raw disk image formats.

ada14b86cc Add support for storage format in FS <driver>
Extend the <driver> element in filesystem devices to
allow a storage format to be set. The new attribute
uses 'format' to reflect the storage format. This is
different from the <driver> element in disk devices
which use 'type' to reflect the storage format. This
is because the 'type' attribute on filesystem devices
is already used for the driver backend, for which the
disk devices use the 'name' attribute. Arggggh.

Anyway for disks we have

   <driver name="qemu" type="raw"/>

And for filesystems this change means we now have

   <driver type="loop" format="raw"/>

442d6a0527 Implement support for <hostdev caps=net>
This allows a container-type domain to have exclusive access to one of
the host's NICs.

Wire <hostdev caps=net> with the lxc_controller - when moving the newly
created veth devices into a new namespace, also look for any hostdev
devices that should be moved. Note: once the container domain has been
destroyed, there is no code that moves the interfaces back to the
original namespace. This does happen, though, probably due to default
cleanup on namespace destruction.

b5def001cc virCaps: get rid of emulatorRequired
This patch removes the emulatorRequired field and associated
infrastructure from the virCaps object. Instead the driver specific
callbacks are used as this field isn't enforced by all drivers.

This patch implements the appropriate callbacks in the qemu and lxc
driver and moves to check to that location.

aae0fc2a92 Add support for <hostdev mode="capabilities">
The <hostdev> device type has long had a redundant "mode"
attribute, which has always been "subsys". This finally
introduces a new mode "capabilities", which will be used
by the LXC driver for device assignment. Since container
based virtualization uses a single kernel, the idea of
assigning physical PCI devices doesn't make sense. It is
still reasonable to assign USB devices, but for assigning
arbitrary nodes in /dev, the new 'capabilities' mode is
to be used.

The first capability support is 'storage', which is for
assignment of block devices. Functionally this is really
pretty similar to the <disk> support. The only difference
is the device node name is identical in both host and
container namespaces.

    <hostdev mode='capabilities' type='storage'>
      <source>
        <block>/dev/sdf1</block>
      </source>
    </hostdev>

The second capability support is 'misc', which is for
assignment of character devices. There is no existing
parallel to this. Again the device node is the same
inside & outside the container.

    <hostdev mode='capabilities' type='misc'>
      <source>
        <char>/dev/input/event3</char>
      </source>
    </hostdev>

The reason for keeping the char & storage devices
separate in the domain XML, is to mirror the split
in the node device XML. NB the node device XML does
not yet report character devices, but that's another
new patch to come

d70f2e117a numad: Always output 'placement' of <vcpu>
<vcpu> is not an optional node. The value for its 'placement'
actually always defaults to 'static' in the underlying codes.
(Even no 'cpuset' and 'placement' is specified, the domain
process will be pinned to all the available pCPUs).
