The virtio-pmem is a virtio variant of NVDIMM and just like
NVDIMM virtio-pmem also allows accessing host pages bypassing
guest page cache. The difference is that if a regular file is
used to back guest's NVDIMM (model='nvdimm') the persistence of
guest writes might not be guaranteed while with virtio-pmem it
is.
To express this new model at domain XML level, I've chosen the
following:
<memory model='virtio-pmem' access='shared'>
<source>
<path>/tmp/virtio_pmem</path>
</source>
<target>
<size unit='KiB'>524288</size>
</target>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/>
</memory>
Another difference between NVDIMM and virtio-pmem is that while
the former supports NUMA node locality the latter doesn't. And
also, the latter goes onto PCI bus and not into a DIMM module.

In v6.8.0-27-g88957116c9 and friends I've switched the way the
default RAM is specified for QEMU (from plain -m to
memory-backend-*). This means, that even if a guest doesn't have
any NUMA nodes configured we can use memory-backend-* attributes
to translate user config requests. For instance, we can allow
memory to be shared (<access mode='shared'/> under
<memoryBacking/>). But what my original commits are missing is
allowing such configuration in our validator.

The validation callback always fetched a fresh copy of 'qemuCaps' to use
for validation which is wrong in cases when the VM is already running,
such as device hotplug. The newly-fetched qemuCaps may contain flags
which weren't originally in use when starting the VM e.g. on a libvirtd
upgrade.
Since the post-parse/validation machinery has a per-run 'parseOpaque'
field filled with qemuCaps of the actual process we can reuse the caps
in cases when we get them.
The code still fetches a fresh copy if parseOpaque doesn't have a
per-run copy to preserve existing functionality.

This patch adds new schema and adds support for parsing and formatting
domain configurations that include vdpa devices.
vDPA network devices allow high-performance networking in a virtual
machine by providing a wire-speed data path. These devices require a
vendor-specific host driver but the data path follows the virtio
specification.
When a device on the host is bound to an appropriate vendor-specific
driver, it will create a chardev on the host at e.g. /dev/vhost-vdpa-0.
That chardev path can then be used to define a new interface with
type='vdpa'.

In [1], changes were made to remove the existing auto-alignment
for pSeries NVDIMM devices. That design promotes strange situations
where the NVDIMM size reported in the domain XML is different
from what QEMU is actually using. We removed the auto-alignment
and relied on standard size validation.
However, this goes against Libvirt design philosophy of not
tampering with existing guest behavior, as pointed out by Daniel
in [2]. Since we can't know for sure whether there are guests that
are relying on the auto-alignment feature to work, the changes
made in [1] are a direct violation of this rule.
This patch reverts [1] entirely, re-enabling auto-alignment for
pSeries NVDIMM as it was before. Changes will be made to ease
the limitations of this design without hurting existing
guests.
This reverts the following commits:
