There is one limitation for using this API, when the guest is started
with all actions set to "destroy" we put "-no-reboot" on the QEMU
command line. That cannot be changed while QEMU is running and
the QEMU process is always terminated no matter what is configured
for any action.

Interestingly enough, we don't document the point of view of the
interface statistics. Therefore it's unknown to users if for
instance rx_packets is the number of packets received by domain or
received by host (from domain). Document this explicitly.

Seeing a log message saying 'flags=93' is ambiguous & confusing unless
you happen to know that libvirt always prints flags as hex. Change our
debug messages so that they always add a '0x' prefix when printing flags,
and '0' prefix when printing mode. A few other misc places gain a '0x'
prefix in error messages too.

The API docs for the various vir$OBJECTGetConnect functions
contain a warning
WARNING: When writing libvirt bindings in other languages, do
not use this function. Instead, store the connection and
the domain object together.
There is no reason why language bindings should not use this
method, and indeed the Perl, Python, and Go bindings all use
these methods.
This warning was originally added back in
commit 3edb4bc9fb

IIUC, the rational was that these APIs do not need to be
directly exposed to the non-C language, as the language
can expose the same concept itself by storing the original
virConnectPtr object alongside the virDomainPtr. There's
no reason to mandate such an approach though - it is valid
for languages to expose this directly if that suits their
needs better.

It's obvious that unsigned long long is 64 bit and also our web page
generator would misplace the comment after the return value due to the
way it's parsing them.
Use ATTRIBUTE_FALLTHROUGH, introduced by commit
5d84f5961b, instead of comments to
indicate that the fall through is an intentional behavior.

Allow starting the block-copy job for a persistent domain if a user
declares by using a flag that the job will not be recovered if the VM is
switched off while the job is active.
This allows to use the block-copy job with persistent VMs under the same
conditions as would apply to transient domains.
qemu requires that the topology equals to the maximum vcpu count.
Document this along with the API to set maximum vcpu count and the XML
element.

Management tools may want to check whether the threshold is still set if
they missed an event. Add the data to the bulk stats API where they can
also query the current backing size at the same time.
Similarly to domainSetGuestVcpus this commit adds API which allows to
modify state of individual vcpus rather than just setting the count.
This allows to enable CPUs in specific guest NUMA nodes to achieve any
necessary configuration.
This patch adds support and documentation for
a generalized hardware cache event called cache_l1d
perf event.

Adjust the spacing a bit in order to generate 'cleaner' looking output.
This matches what virDomainMemoryStats does and it creates text/code boxes
in order to list each of the stats for each category.
Only the latest APIs are fully documented and the documentation of the
older variants (which are just limited versions of the new APIs anyway)
points to the newest APIs.

During offline migration, no storage is copied. Nor disks, nor
NVRAM file, nor anything. We use qemu for that and because domain
is not running there's nobody to copy that for us.
We should document this to avoid confusing users.

Apparently, some management applications use the following code
pattern when waiting for a block job to finish:
while (1) {
virDomainGetBlockJobInfo(dom, disk, info, flags);
if (info.cur == info.end)
break;
sleep(1);
}
Problem with this approach is in its corner cases. In case of
QEMU, libvirt merely pass what has been reported on the monitor.
However, if the block job hasn't started yet, qemu reports cur ==
end == 0 which tricks mgmt apps into thinking job is complete.
The solution is to mangle cur/end values as described here [1].

To allow finer-grained control of vcpu state using guest agent this API
can be used to individually set the state of the vCPU.
This will allow to better control NUMA enabled guests and/or test
various vCPU configurations.
