Unfortunately, mdevctl supports defining more than one mdev with the
same UUID as long as they have different parent devices. (Only one of
these devices can be active at any given time).
This means that we can't use the UUID alone as a way to uniquely
identify mdev node devices. Append the parent address to ensure
uniqueness. For example:
Before: mdev_88a6b868_46bd_4015_8e5b_26107f82da38
After: mdev_88a6b868_46bd_4015_8e5b_26107f82da38_0000_00_02_0

Commit 51fbbfdce8 attempted to get the proper nodedev name for the
parent of an defined mdev by traversing the filesystem and looking for a
device that had the appropriate sysfs path. This works, but it would be
cleaner to to avoid mucking around in the filesystem and instead just
just examine the list of devices we have in memory.
We already had a function nodeDeviceFindAddressByName() which constructs
an address for parent device in a format that can be used with mdevctl.
So if we refactor this function into a a function that simply formats an
address for an arbitrary virNodeDeviceObj*, then we can use this
function as a predicate for our new virNodeDeviceObjListFind() function
from the previous commit. This will search our list of devices for one
whose address matches the address we get from mdevctl.
One nice benefit of this approach is that our test cases will now
display xml output with the proper parent name for mdevs (assuming that
we've added the appropriate mock parent devices to the test driver).
Previously they just displayed 'computer' for the parent because the
alternative would have required specially constructing a mock filesystem
environment with a sysfs that mapped to the appropriate parent.

Commit e9b534905f introduced an error when parsing an empty list
returned from mdevctl.
This occurs e.g. if nodedev-undefine is used to undefine the last
defined mdev which causes the following error messages
libvirtd[33143]: internal error: Unexpected format for mdevctl response

Inactive mdevs were simply formatting their parent name as the value
received from mdevctl rather than looking up the libvirt nodedev name of
the parent device. This resulted in a parent value of e.g.
'0000:5b:00.0' instead of 'pci_0000_5b_00_0'. This prevented defining a
new mdev device from the output of nodedev-dumpxml.
Unfortunately, it's not simple to fix this comprehensively due to the
fact that mdevctl supports defining (inactive) mdevs for parent devices
that do not actually exist on the host (yet). So for those persistent
mdev definitions that do not have a valid parent in the device list, the
parent device will be set to the root "computer" device.
Unfortunately, because the value of the 'parent' field now depends on
the configuration of the host, the mdevctl parsing test will output
'computer' for all test devices. Fixing this would require a more
extensive mock test environment.

Due to a rather unfortunate misunderstanding, we were parsing the list
of defined devices from mdevctl incorrectly. Since my primary
development machine only has a single device capable of mdevs, I
apparently neglected to test multiple parent devices and made some
assumptions based on reading the mdevctl code. These assumptions turned
out to be incorrect, so the parsing failed when devices from more than
one parent device were returned.
The details: mdevctl returns an array of objects representing the
defined devices. But instead of an array of multiple objects (with each
object representing a parent device), the array always contains only a
single object. That object has a separate property for each parent
device.

We supported autostart of node devices via an xml element, but this
is not consistent with other libvirt objects which use an explicit API
for setting autostart status. So revert this and implement it as an
official API in a future commit.
The initial support was refactored after merging, so this commit reverts
both of those previous commits.
Revert "virNodeDevCapMdevParseXML: Use virXMLPropEnum() for ./start/@type"
This reverts commit 9d4cd1d1cd.

"start" in libvirt means - "take this object and create an
instance out of it"
"create" in libvirt most of the time means - "take and XML description,
make an object out of it and use it to create an instance"
This gets confusing with mdevctl which uses "start" for both. So, this
patch proposes to use virMdevctlStart in cases where from libvirt's POV
we're starting a defined device (unlike mdevctl). Similarly, use
virMdevctlCreate in scenarios where XML description is passed to
libvirt and a transient device is supposed to be created.
