b33c14b342 graphics: make address attribute for listen type='address' optional
We support omitting listen attribute of graphics element so we should
also support omitting address attribute of listen element.  This patch
also updates libvirt to always add a listen element into domain XML
except for VNC graphics if socket attribute is specified.

75db9997a0 util: set vlan tag for macvtap passthrough mode on SRIOV VFs
SRIOV VFs used in macvtap passthrough mode can take advantage of the
SRIOV card's transparent vlan tagging. All the code was there to set
the vlan tag, and it has been used for SRIOV VFs used for hostdev
interfaces for several years, but for some reason, the vlan tag for
macvtap passthrough devices was stubbed out with a -1.

This patch moves a bit of common validation down to a lower level
(virNetDevReplaceNetConfig()) so it is shared by hostdev and macvtap
modes, and updates the macvtap caller to actually send the vlan config
instead of -1.

600977e293 qemu: support configuring usb3 controller port count
This adds a ports= attribute to usb controller XML, like

  <controller type='usb' model='nec-xhci' ports='8'/>

This maps to:

  qemu -device nec-usb-xhci,p2=8,p3=8

Meaning, 8 ports that support both usb2 and usb3 devices. Gerd
suggested to just expose them as one knob.

d855465452 qemu: add panic device support for S390
If a panic device is being defined without a model in a domain
the default value is always overwritten with model ISA. An ISA
bus does not exist on S390 and therefore specifying a panic device
results in an unsupported configuration.
Since the S390 architecture inherently provides a crash detection
capability the panic device should be defined in the domain xml.

This patch adds an s390 panic device model and prevents setting a
device address on it.

This reverts commit 690969af9c, which
added the domain config parts to support a "peer" attribute in domain
interface <ip> elements.

It's being removed temporarily for the release of libvirt 1.3.4
because the feature doesn't work, and there are concerns that it may
need to be modified in an externally visible manner which could create
backward compatibility problems.

67f2b72723 conf: Drop restrictions on rng backend path
Currently we only allow /dev/random and /dev/hwrng as host input

various upstream discussions in commit 4932ef45

However this restriction has generated quite a few complaints over
the years, so a new discussion was initiated:

http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-April/msg00987.html

Several people suggested removing the restriction, and nobody really
spoke up to defend it. So this patch drops the path restriction
entirely

bc07251f59 conf: new pci controller model pcie-expander-bus
This controller provides a single PCIe port on a new root. It is
similar to pci-expander-bus, intended to provide a bus that can be
associated with a guest-identifiable NUMA node, but is for
machinetypes with PCIe rather than PCI (e.g. q35-based machinetypes).

Aside from PCIe vs. PCI, the other main difference is that a
pci-expander-bus has a companion pci-bridge that is automatically
attached along with it, but pcie-expander-bus has only a single port,
and that port will only connect to a pcie-root-port, or to a
pcie-switch-upstream-port. In order for the bus to be of any use in
the guest, it must have either a pcie-root-port or a
pcie-switch-upstream-port attached (and one or more
pcie-switch-downstream-ports attached to the
pcie-switch-upstream-port).

52f3d0a4d2 conf: new pci controller model pci-expander-bus
This is a standard PCI root bus (not a bridge) that can be added to a
440fx-based domain. Although it uses a PCI slot, this is *not* how it
is connected into the PCI bus hierarchy, but is only used for
control. Each pci-expander-bus provides 32 slots (0-31) that can
accept hotplug of standard PCI devices.

The usefulness of pci-expander-bus relative to a pci-bridge is that
the NUMA node of the bus can be specified with the <node> subelement
of <target>. This gives guest-side visibility to the NUMA node of
attached devices (presuming that management apps only assign a device
to a bus that has a NUMA node number matching the node number of the
device on the host).

Each pci-expander-bus also has a "busNr" attribute. The expander-bus
itself will take the busNr specified, and all buses that are connected
to this bus (including the pci-bridge that is automatically added to
any expander bus of model "pxb" (see the next commit)) will use
busNr+1, busNr+2, etc, and the pci-root (or the expander-bus with next
lower busNr) will use bus numbers lower than busNr.

7068b56c85 conf: qemu: Add support for more HyperV Enlightenment features
This patch adds support for "vpindex", "runtime", "synic",
"stimer", and "vendor_id" features available in qemu 2.5+.

- When Hyper-V "vpindex" is on, guest can use MSR HV_X64_MSR_VP_INDEX
to get virtual processor ID.

- Hyper-V "runtime" enlightement feature allows to use MSR
HV_X64_MSR_VP_RUNTIME to get the time the virtual processor consumes
running guest code, as well as the time the hypervisor spends running
code on behalf of that guest.

- Hyper-V "synic" stands for Synthetic Interrupt Controller, which is
lapic extension controlled via MSRs.

- Hyper-V "stimer" switches on Hyper-V SynIC timers MSR's support.
Guest can setup and use fired by host events (SynIC interrupt and
appropriate timer expiration message) as guest clock events

- Hyper-V "reset" allows guest to reset VM.

- Hyper-V "vendor_id" exposes hypervisor vendor id to guest.

9d243e0895 conf: add 'state' attribute to <hap> feature
Most hypervisors use Hardware Assisted Paging by default and don't
require specifying the feature in domain conf. But some hypervisors
support disabling HAP on a per-domain basis. To enable HAP by default
yet provide a knob to disable it, extend the <hap> feature with a
'state=on|off' attribute, similar to <pvspinlock> and <vmport> features.

In the absence of <hap>, the hypervisor default (on) is used. <hap>
without the state attribute would be the same as <hap state='on'/> for
backwards compatibility. And of course <hap state='off'/> disables hap.

b4a5fd95f7 qemu: introduce vram64 attribute for QXL video device
This attribute is used to extend secondary PCI bar and expose it to the
guest as 64bit memory.  It works like this: attribute vram is there to
set size of secondary PCI bar and guest sees it as 32bit memory,
attribute vram64 can extend this secondary PCI bar.  If both attributes
are used, guest sees two memory bars, both address the same memory, with
the difference that the 32bit bar can address only the first part of the
whole memory.

6343018fac rbd: Do not append Ceph monitor port number 6789 if not provided
If no port number was provided for a storage pool libvirt defaults to
port 6789; however, librbd/librados already default to 6789 when no port
number is provided.

In the future Ceph will switch to a new port for the Ceph monitors since
port 6789 is already assigned to a different application by IANA.

Port 6789 is assigned to SMC-HTTPS and Ceph now has port 3300 assigned as
the 'Ceph monitor' port.

In this case it is the best solution to not hardcode any port number into
libvirt and let librados handle the connection.

Only if a user specifies a different port number we pass it down to librados,
otherwise we leave it blank.

Adds a new interface type using UDP sockets, this seems only applicable
to QEMU but have edited tree-wide to support the new interface type.

The interface type required the addition of a "localaddr" (local
address), this then maps into the following xml and qemu call.

<interface type='udp'>
  <mac address='52:54:00:5c:67:56'/>
  <source address='127.0.0.1' port='11112'>
    <local address='127.0.0.1' port='22222'/>
  </source>
  <model type='virtio'/>
  <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/>
</interface>

QEMU call:
	-net socket,udp=127.0.0.1:11112,localaddr=127.0.0.1:22222

Notice the xml "local" entry becomes the "localaddr" for the qemu call.
