name. I fixed it later, but turned out we don't document our
preference which is camelCase.

A few tweaks were made during the move:
- the error messages were changed to mention 'sata controller'
instead of 'ide controller';
- a check for address type 'drive' was added like it is done
with other bus types. The error message of qemuxml2argdata was
updated to reflect that now, instead of erroring it out from the
common code in virDomainDiskDefValidate(), we're failing earlier
with a different error message.

By default, pfifo_fast queueing discipline (qdisc) is set on
newly created interfaces (including TAPs). This qdisc has three
queues and packets that want to be sent through given NIC are
placed into one of the queues based on TOS field. Queues are then
emptied based on their priority allowing interactive sessions
stay interactive whilst something else is downloading a large
file.
Obviously, this means that kernel has to be involved and some
locking has to happen (when placing packets into queues). If
virtualization is taken into account then the above algorithm
happens twice - once in the guest and the second time in the
host.
This is arguably not optimal as it burns host CPU cycles
needlessly. Guest already made it choice and sent packets in the
order it wants.
To resolve this, Linux kernel offers 'noqueue' qdisc which can be
applied on virtual interfaces and in fact for 'lo' it is by
default:
lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue
Set it for other TAP devices we create for domains too. With this
change I was able to squeeze 1Mbps more from a macvtap attached
to a guest and to my 1Gbps LAN (as measured by iperf3).

Currently setting max_len=0 causes virtlogd to spin in a busy loop. It
is natural to allow this to disable log rollover which can be useful for
developers debugging things.
Note disabling rollover exposes the host to denial of service from a
malicious guest, so must be used with care.

If storage migration is requested, and the destination storage does
not exist on the remote host, qemu's migration support will call
into the libvirt storage driver to precreate the destination storage.
The storage driver virConnectPtr is opened too early though, adding
an unnecessary dependency on the storage driver for several cases
that don't require it. This currently requires kubevirt to install
the storage driver even though they aren't actually using it.
Push the virGetConnectStorage calls to right before the cases they are
actually needed.
