If probing capabilities via QMP fails, we now have a check
that prevents us falling back to -help parsing. Unfortunately
the error message
"Failed to probe capabilities for /usr/bin/qemu-kvm:
unsupported configuration: QEMU 2.1.2 is too new for help parsing"
is proving rather unhelpful to the user. We need to be telling
them why QMP failed (the root cause), rather than they can't
use -help (the side effect).
To do this we should capture stderr during QMP probing, and
if -help parsing then sees a new QEMU version, we know that
QMP should have worked, and so we can show the messages from
stderr. The message thus becomes
"Failed to probe capabilities for /usr/bin/qemu-kvm:
internal error: QEMU / QMP failed: Could not access
KVM kernel module: No such file or directory
failed to initialize KVM: No such file or directory"
Since QEMU 1.2.0, we switched to QMP probing instead of parsing -help
(and other commands, such as -cpu ?) output. However, if QMP probing
failed, we still tried starting QEMU with various options and parsing
the output, which was guaranteed to fail because the output changed.
Let's just refuse parsing -help for QEMU >= 1.2.0.

Quite a long time ago, (apparently between qemu 0.12 and 0.13) qemu
quietly began supporting the optional specification of a domain in the
host-side address of all pci passthrough commands (by simply
prepending it to the bus:slot.function format, as
"dddd:bb:ss.f"). Since machines with multiple PCI domains are very
rare, this never came up in practice, so libvirt was never updated to
support it.
This patch takes the first step to supporting specification of a non-0
domain in the host-side address of PCI devices being assigned to a
domain, by adding a capability bit to indicate support
"QEMU_CAPS_HOST_PCI_MULTIDOMAIN", and detect it. Since this support
was added in a version prior to the minimum version required for
QMP-style capabilities detection, the capability is always enabled for
any qemu that uses QMP for capabilities detection. For older qemus,
the only clue that a domain can be specified in the host pci address
is the presence of the string "[seg:]" in the help string for
-pcidevice. (Ironically, libvirt will not be modified to support
specification of domain for -pcidevice, since any qemu new enough for
us to care about also supports "-device pci-assign" or "-device
vfio-pci", which are greatly preferred).
The test case average timing code has not been used by any test
case ever. Delete it to remove complexity.

Add an attribute named 'removable' to the 'target' element of disks,
which controls the removable flag. For instance, on a Linux guest it
controls the value of /sys/block/$dev/removable. This option is only
valid for USB disks (i.e. bus='usb'), and its default value is 'off',
which is the same behaviour as before.
To achieve this, 'removable=on' (or 'off') is appended to the '-device
usb-storage' parameter sent to qemu when adding a USB disk via
'-disk'. A capability flag QEMU_CAPS_USB_STORAGE_REMOVABLE was added
to keep track if this option is supported by the qemu version used.

The source code base needs to be adapted as well. Some files
include virutil.h just for the string related functions (here,
the include is substituted to match the new file), some include
virutil.h without any need (here, the include is removed), and
some require both.
Currently, -machine option is used only when dump-guest-core is set.
To use options defined in machine option for newer version of QEMU,
it needs to use -machine xxx, and to be compatible with older version
-M, this patch adds QEMU_CAPS_MACHINE_OPT capability for newer
version which supports -machine option.

Allow migration over IPv6 by listening on [::] instead of 0.0.0.0
when QEMU supports it (QEMU_CAPS_IPV6_MIGRATION) and there is
at least one v6 address configured on the system.
Use virURIParse in qemuMigrationPrepareDirect to allow parsing
IPv6 addresses, which would cause an 'incorrect :port' error
message before.
Move setting of migrateFrom from qemuMigrationPrepare{Direct,Tunnel}
after domain XML parsing, since we need the QEMU binary path from it

The "dtb" option sets the filename for the device tree.
If without this option support, "-dtb file" will be converted into
<qemu:commandline> in domain XML file.
For example, '-dtb /media/ram/test.dtb' will be converted into
<qemu:commandline>
<qemu:arg value='-dtb'/>
<qemu:arg value='/media/ram/test.dtb'/>
</qemu:commandline>
This is not very friendly.
This patchset add special <dtb> tag like <kernel> and <initrd>
which is easier for user to write domain XML file.
<os>
<type arch='ppc' machine='ppce500v2'>hvm</type>

It seems I missed a few -device flags when doing this last time and I
mixed up qemu and qemu-kvm.
Currently it's assumed that qemu always supports VNC, however it is
definitely possible to compile qemu without VNC support so we should at
the very least check for it and handle that correctly.
With the recent introduction of QMP capabilities probing, libvirt failed
to detect support for QXL graphics in QEMU 1.2 and newer. In addition to
fixing that, this patch also causes libvirt to detect QXL support for
qemu-kvm-0.13.0, which doesn't advertise it in -help output but mentions
it in device list. Since qemu-kvm-0.13.0 supported -spice, it looks like
not having qxl in -help was a bug.
Currently the qemuCapsParseDeviceStr method has a bunch of open
coded string searches/comparisons to detect devices and their
properties. Soon this data will be obtained from QMP queries
instead of -device help output. Maintaining the list of device
and properties in two places is undesirable. Thus the existing
qemuCapsParseDeviceStr() method needs to be refactored to
separate the device types and properties from the actual
search code.
Thus the -device help output is now parsed to construct a
list of device names, and device properties. These are then
checked against a set of datatables to set the capability
flags

The "dump-guest-core' option is new option for the machine type
(-machine pc,dump-guest-core) that controls whether the guest memory
will be marked as dumpable.
While testing this, I've found out that the value for the '-M' options
is not parsed correctly when additional parameters are used. However,
when '-machine' is used for the same options, it gets parsed as
expected. That's why this patch also modifies the parsing and creating
of the command line, so both '-M' and '-machine' are recognized. In
QEMU's help there is only mention of the 'machine parameter now with
no sign of the older '-M'.
The current qemu capabilities are stored in a virBitmapPtr
object, whose type is exposed to callers. We want to store
more data besides just the flags, so we need to move to a
struct type. This object will also need to be reference
counted, since we'll be maintaining a cache of data per
binary. This change introduces a 'qemuCapsPtr' virObject
class. Most of the change is just renaming types and
variables in all the callers

QEMU 1.1.0 has been officially released. With 1.1.0 QEMU went back to
three-digits version even for the initial release and I renamed the data

qemu-1.1-rc2 output for now. I will update those files with real
qemu-1.1 output once it is released.
A "ide-drive" device can be either a hard disk or a CD-ROM,
if there is ",media=cdrom" specified for the backend, it's
a CD-ROM, otherwise it's a hard disk.
Upstream qemu splitted "ide-drive" into "ide-hd" and "ide-cd"
since commit 1f56e32, and ",media=cdrom" is not required for
ide-cd anymore. "ide-drive" is still supported for backwards
compatibility, but no doubt we should go foward.
A "scsi-disk" device can be either a hard disk or a CD-ROM,
if there is ",media=cdrom" specified for the backend, it's
a CD-ROM, otherwise it's a hard disk.
But upstream qemu splitted "scsi-disk" into "scsi-hd" and
"scsi-cd" since commit b443ae, and ",media=cdrom" is not
required for scsi-cd anymore. "scsi-disk" is still supported
for backwards compatibility, but no doubt we should go
foward.
