Now that NVDIMM has found its way into libvirt, users might want
to fine tune some settings for each module separately. One such
setting is 'share=on|off' for the memory-backend-file object.
This setting - just like its name suggest already - enables
sharing the nvdimm module with other applications. Under the hood
it controls whether qemu mmaps() the file as MAP_PRIVATE or
MAP_SHARED.
Yet again, we have such config knob in domain XML, but it's just
an attribute to numa <cell/>. This does not give fine enough
tuning on per-memdevice basis so we need to have the attribute
for each device too.

NVDIMM is new type of memory introduced into QEMU 2.6. The idea
is that we have a Non-Volatile memory module that keeps the data
persistent across domain reboots.
At the domain XML level, we already have some representation of
'dimm' modules. Long story short, NVDIMM will utilize the
existing <memory/> element that lives under <devices/> by adding
a new attribute 'nvdimm' to the existing @model and introduce a
new <path/> element for <source/> while reusing other fields. The
resulting XML would appear as:
<memory model='nvdimm'>
<source>
<path>/tmp/nvdimm</path>
</source>
<target>
<size unit='KiB'>523264</size>
<node>0</node>
</target>
<address type='dimm' slot='0'/>
</memory>
So far, this is just a XML parser/formatter extension. QEMU
driver implementation is in the next commit.

bhyve supports 'gop' video device that allows clients to connect
to VMs using VNC clients. This commit adds support for that to
the bhyve driver:
- Introducr 'gop' video device type
- Add capabilities probing for the 'fbuf' device that's
responsible for graphics
- Update command builder routines to let users configure
domain's VNC via gop graphics.

With that users could access files outside /dev/shm. That itself
isn't a security problem, but might cause some errors we want to
avoid. So let's forbid slashes as we do with domain and volume names
and also mention that in the schema.

This part introduces new xml elements for file based
memorybacking support and their parsing.
(It allows vhost-user to be used without hugepages.)
New xml elements:
<memoryBacking>
<source type="file|anonymous"/>
<access mode="shared|private"/>
<allocation mode="immediate|ondemand"/>
</memoryBacking>
Example:
<network>
...
<mtu size='9000'/>
...
If mtu is unset, it's assumed that we want the default for whatever is
the underlying transport (usually this is 1500).
This setting isn't yet wired in, so it will have no effect.
This partially resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1224348
So far we allow to set MTU for libvirt networks. However, not all
domain interfaces have to be plugged into a libvirt network and
even if they are, they might want to have a different MTU (e.g.
for testing purposes).

fabric_name is one of many fc_host attributes in Linux that is optional

Add new fields to the fchost structure to allow creation of a vHBA via
the storage pool when a parent_wwnn/parent_wwpn or parent_fabric_wwn is
supplied in the storage pool XML.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1349696
When creating a vHBA, the process is to feed XML to nodeDeviceCreateXML
that lists the <parent> scsi_hostX to use to create the vHBA. However,
between reboots, it's possible that the <parent> changes its scsi_hostX
to scsi_hostY and saved XML to perform the creation will either fail or
create a vHBA using the wrong parent.
So add the ability to provide "wwnn" and "wwpn" or "fabric_wwn" to
the <parent> instead of a name of the scsi_hostN that is the parent.
The allowed XML will thus be:
<parent>scsi_host3</parent> (current)
or
<parent wwnn='$WWNN' wwpn='$WWPN'/>
or
<parent fabric_wwn='$WWNN'/>
Using the wwnn/wwpn or fabric_wwn ensures the same 'scsi_hostN' is
selected between hardware reconfigs or host reboots. The fabric_wwn
Using the wwnn/wwpn pair will provide the most specific search option,
while fabric_wwn will at least ensure usage of the same SAN, but maybe
not the same scsi_hostN.
This patch will add the new fields to the nodedev.rng for input purposes
only since the input XML is essentially thrown away, no need to Format
the values since they'd already be printed as part of the scsi_host
data block.
New API virNodeDeviceGetParentHostByWWNs will take the parent "wwnn" and
"wwpn" in order to search the list of devices for matching capability
data fields wwnn and wwpn.
New API virNodeDeviceGetParentHostByFabricWWN will take the parent "fabric_wwn"
in order to search the list of devices for matching capability data field
fabric_wwn.
Similarly to localOnly DNS domain, localPtr attribute can be used to
tell the DNS server not to forward reverse lookups for unknown IPs which

With the QEMU components in place, provide the XML parsing to
invoke that code when given the following XML snippet:
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi_host'>
<source protocol='vhost' wwpn='naa.501234567890abcd'/>
</hostdev>
An optional address element can be specified within the hostdev
(pick CCW or PCI as necessary):
<address type='ccw' cssid='0xfe' ssid='0x0' devno='0x0625'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/>
Add basic vhost-scsi tests which were cloned from hostdev-scsi-virtio-scsi
in both xml2argv and xml2xml. Added ones for both vhost-scsi-ccw and
vhost-scsi-pci since the syntaxes are slightly different between them.
Also adjusted the docs to describe the changes.

Add an optional "tls='yes|no'" attribute for a TCP chardev.
For QEMU, this will allow for disabling the host config setting of the
'chardev_tls' for a domain chardev channel by setting the value to "no" or
to attempt to use a host TLS environment when setting the value to "yes"
when the host config 'chardev_tls' setting is disabled, but a TLS environment
is configured via either the host config 'chardev_tls_x509_cert_dir' or

Add a new secret usage type known as "tls" - it will handle adding the
secret objects for various TLS objects that need to provide some sort
of passphrase in order to access the credentials.
The format is:
<secret ephemeral='no' private='no'>
<description>Sample TLS secret</description>
<usage type='tls'>
<name>mumblyfratz</name>
</usage>
</secret>
Once defined and a passphrase set, future patches will allow the UUID
to be set in the qemu.conf file and thus used as a secret for various
TLS options such as a chardev serial TCP connection, a NBD client/server
connection, and migration.
