abca72faa4 qemu: Support multiqueue virtio-blk
qemu 2.7.0 introduces multiqueue virtio-blk(commit 2f27059).
This patch introduces a new attribute "queues". An example of
the XML:

<disk type='file' device='disk'>
  <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2' queues='4'/>

The corresponding QEMU command line:

-device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,num-queues=4,id=virtio-disk0

6885b51e5f qemu: Add TLS support for Veritas HyperScale (VxHS)
Alter qemu command line generation in order to possibly add TLS for
a suitably configured domain.

Sample TLS args generated by libvirt -

    -object tls-creds-x509,id=objvirtio-disk0_tls0,dir=/etc/pki/qemu,\
    endpoint=client,verify-peer=yes \
    -drive file.driver=vxhs,file.tls-creds=objvirtio-disk0_tls0,\
    file.vdisk-id=eb90327c-8302-4725-9e1b-4e85ed4dc251,\
    file.server.type=tcp,file.server.host=192.168.0.1,\
    file.server.port=9999,format=raw,if=none,\
    id=drive-virtio-disk0,cache=none \
    -device virtio-blk-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,\
    id=virtio-disk0

Update the qemuxml2argvtest with a couple of examples. One for a
simple case and the other a bit more complex where multiple VxHS disks
are added where at least one uses a VxHS that doesn't require TLS
credentials and thus sets the domain disk source attribute "tls = 'no'".

Update the hotplug to be able to handle processing the tlsAlias whether
it's to add the TLS object when hotplugging a disk or to remove the TLS
object when hot unplugging a disk.  The hot plug/unplug code is largely
generic, but the addition code does make the VXHS specific checks only
because it needs to grab the correct config directory and generate the
object as the command line would do.

f170548502 util: Add TLS attributes to virStorageSource
Add an optional virTristateBool haveTLS to virStorageSource to
manage whether a storage source will be using TLS.

Sample XML for a VxHS disk:

<disk type='network' device='disk'>
  <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none'/>
  <source protocol='vxhs' name='eb90327c-8302-4725-9e1b-4e85ed4dc251' tls='yes'>
    <host name='192.168.0.1' port='9999'/>
  </source>
  <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
</disk>

Additionally add a tlsFromConfig boolean to control whether the TLS
setting was due to domain configuration or qemu.conf global setting
in order to decide whether to Format the haveTLS setting for either
a live or saved domain configuration file.

Update the qemuxml2xmltest in order to add a test to show the proper
parsing.

Also update the docs to describe the tls attribute.

Alter the example to remove the <auth> from:

  <disk type='volume' device='disk'>

    <auth username='myuser'>
      <secret type='iscsi' usage='libvirtiscsi'/>
    </auth>
    <target dev='vdc' bus='virtio'/>
  </disk>

The reality is, it's not even used. For a <source pool> the authdef
from the storage source pool will supercede whatever is in the <disk>
definition during virStorageTranslateDiskSourcePool processing. In fact,
if the pool doesn't have/need authentication, then the authdef would
be removed anyway as the storage pool would be handling things.

The "proof" for this is in the adjustment to the test to add an
<auth> for a disk. The resulting .args file won't add what normally
would be added "myname:encodedpassword@" prior to the hostname in
the IQN (e.g. iscsi://myname:encodedpassword@iscsi.example.org:3260/...

f64f03b5b1 qemu: Provide default LUN=0 for iSCSI if not provided
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1477880

If the "/#" is missing from the provided iSCSI path, then we need
to provide the default LUN of /0; otherwise, QEMU will fail to parse
the URL causing a failure to either create the guest or hotplug
attach the storage.

During post parse, for any iSCSI disk or hostdev, scan the source
path looking for the presence of '/', if found, then we can assume
the LUN is provided.  If not found, alter the input XML to add the
"/0".  This will cause the generated XML to have the generated
value when the domain config is saved after post parse.

e255cf02b2 qemuBuildMemoryBackendStr: Handle one more corner case

This code is so complicated because we allow enabling the same
bits at many places. Just like in this case: huge pages can be
enabled by global <hugepages/> element under <memoryBacking> or
on per <memory/> basis. To complicate things a bit more, users
are allowed to omit the page size which case the default page
size is used. And this is what is causing this bug. If no page
size is specified, @pagesize is keeping value of zero throughout
whole function. Therefore we need yet another boolean to hold
[use, don't use] information as we can't sue @pagesize for that.

e5a0579996 qemu: Enable NUMA node tag in pci-root for PPC64
This patch addresses the same aspects on PPC the bug 1103314 addressed
on x86.

PCI expander bus creates multiple primary PCI busses, where each of these
busses can be assigned a specific NUMA affinity, which, on x86 is
advertised through ACPI on a per-bus basis.

For SPAPR, a PHB's NUMA affinities are assigned on a per-PHB basis, and
there is no mechanism for advertising NUMA affinities to a guest on a
per-bus basis. So, even if qemu-ppc manages to get some sort of multi-bus
topology working using PXB, there is no way to expose the affinities
of these busses to the guest. It can only be exposed on a per-PHB/per-domain
basis.

So patch enables NUMA node tag in pci-root controller on PPC.

The way to set the NUMA node is through the numa_node option of
spapr-pci-host-bridge device. However for the implicit PHB, the only way
to set the numa_node is from the -global option. The -global option applies
to all the PHBs unless explicitly specified with the option on the
respective PHB of CLI. The default PHB has the emulated devices only, so
the patch prevents setting the NUMA node for the default PHB.

Up until now, it has done so using either pci-bridge, for machine

based on PCI Express. Neither choice is good for pSeries guests,
where PHBs (pci-root) should be used instead.

396ca36cb0 qemu: Enforce ACPI, UEFI requirements
Depending on the architecture, requirements for ACPI and UEFI can
be different; more specifically, while on x86 UEFI requires ACPI,
on aarch64 it's the other way around.

Enforce these requirements when validating the domain, and make
the error message more accurate by mentioning that they're not
necessarily applicable to all architectures.

Several aarch64 test cases had to be tweaked because they would
have failed the validation step otherwise.

1696806ff1 test: Add some test cases for our test suite regarding the mdevs
For now, these only cover the unmanaged, i.e. user pre-created devices.

96f54b86d6 tests: Test generic PCIe Root Ports
We want pcie-root-ports to be used when available in QEMU,
but at the same time we need to ensure that hosts running
older QEMU releases keep working and that the user can
override the default at any time.

Add a comment for the original pcie-root-port test cases
to make it clear how these new test cases are different.

e433546bef qemu: Introduce label-size for NVDIMMs
For NVDIMM devices it is optionally possible to specify the size
of internal storage for namespaces. Namespaces are a feature that
allows users to partition the NVDIMM for different uses.

80af11d3dd conf: Introduce @access to <memory/>
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.

b4e8a49f8d Introduce NVDIMM memory model
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.

checked; in other cases, the capabilities set differed.
