Sparse LVM volumes do not behave in the way one would naively expect.
The allocation does not automatically increase (which is different from
how sparse files work).
'virsh capabilities' will now include a new <memory> element
per <cell> of the topology, as in:
<topology>
<cells num='2'>
<cell id='0'>
<memory unit='KiB'>12572412</memory>
<cpus num='12'>

There is some controversy[1] on the qemu list on whether qemu should
have ever allowed arbitrary file name passthrough, or whether it
should be restricted to JUST /dev/random and /dev/hwrng. It is
always easier to add support for additional filenames than it is
to remove support for something once released, so this patch
restricts libvirt 1.0.3 (where the virtio-random backend was first
supported) to just the two uncontroversial names, letting us defer
to a later date any decision on whether supporting arbitrary files
makes sense. Additionally, since qemu 1.4 does NOT support
/dev/fdset/nnn fd passthrough for the backend, limiting to just
two known names means that we don't get tempted to try fd
passthrough where it won't work.

This reverts commit 383ebc4694.
We decided the xml for this feature needed more thought to make sure
we are doing it the best way, in particular wrt option values that
have multiple items.
Add qed for dirfs pool.
Add ocfs2 for disk pool.
Add lvm2 for disk and logical pool.
Add cifs and glusterfs for netfs pool.
Note: POOL_DISK_LVM2 can not be created by "parted mklabel", but is only
returned from auto-detection on disk pools.

This reverts commit 24aa7f8d11.
The implementation to match the documentation is not complete yet,
and the final design might change the name of the 'schid' attribute.
virStrToLong(..., 8, ...) already requires the mode to be octal.
Change the relax-ng schema to check for octal as well.

This patch documents XML elements used for (basic) support of virtual
RNG devices.
In the devices section in the domain XML users may specify:
For the default 'random' backend:
<devices>
<rng model='virtio'>
<backend model='random'>/dev/urandom</backend>
</rng>
</devices>
For the slightly more advanced EGD backend:
<devices>
<rng model='virtio'>
<backend model='egd' type='udp'>
<!-- this is a definition of a character device -->
<source mode='bind' service='1234'/>
<source mode='connect' host='1.2.3.4' service='1234'/>
<!-- or other valid character device configuration -->
</backend>
</rng>
</devices>
For the planned random daemon/pool:
<devices>
<rng model='virtio'>
<backend model='pool' pool='poolname'>class</backend>
</rng>
</devices>
to enable the RNG device for guests.
Originally, only a host name was used to associate a
DHCPv6 request with a specific IPv6 address. Further testing
demonstrates that this is an unreliable method and, instead,
a client-id or DUID needs to be used. According to DHCPv6
standards, this id can be a duid-LLT, duid-LL, or duid-UUID
even though dnsmasq will accept almost any text string.
Although validity checking of a specified string makes sure it is
hexadecimal notation with bytes separated by colons, there is no
rigorous check to make sure it meets the standard.
Documentation and schemas have been updated.

can be optionally omitted.

This patch adds support for a new <option>-Tag in the <dhcp> block of
network configs, based on a subset of the fifth proposal by Laine
Stump in the mailing list discussion at
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-November/msg01054.html.
Any such defined option will result in a dhcp-option=<number>,"<value>"
statement in the generated dnsmasq configuration file.
Currently, DHCP options can be specified by number only and there is
no whitelisting or blacklisting of option numbers, which should
probably be added.

The native bus for s390 I/O is called CCW (channel command word).
As QEMU has added basic support for the CCW bus, i.e. the
ability to assign CCW devnos (bus addresses) to devices.
Domains with the new machine type s390-ccw-virtio can use the
CCW bus. Currently QEMU will only allow to define virtio
devices on the CCW bus.
Here we add the new machine type and the new device address to the
schema definition and add a new paragraph to the domain XML
documentation.

Commit 6094ad7b (0.9.3 release) promoted several functions from
internal to public, but forgot to fix the documentation generator
to provide details about those functions.

Hosts for rbd are ceph monitor daemons. These have fixed IP addresses,
so they are often referenced by IP rather than hostname for
convenience, or to avoid relying on DNS. Using IPv4 addresses as the
host name works already, but IPv6 addresses require rbd-specific
escaping because the colon is used as an option separator in the
string passed to qemu.
Escape these colons, and enclose the IPv6 address in square brackets
so it is distinguished from the port, which is currently mandatory.

This patch adds RNG schemas for adding more information in the topology
output of the NUMA section in the capabilities XML.
The added elements are designed to provide more information about the
placement and topology of the processors in the system to management
applications.
A demonstration of supported XML added by this patch:

The socket_id field represents identification of the physical socket the
CPU is plugged in. This ID may not be identical to the physical socket
ID reported by the kernel.
The core_id identifies a core within a socket. Also this field may not
accurately represent physical ID's.
The core_id is guaranteed to be unique within a cell and a socket. There
may be duplicates between sockets. Only cores sharing core_id within one
cell and one socket can be considered as threads. Cores sharing core_id
within sparate cells are distinct cores.
The siblings field is a list of CPU id's the cpu id's the CPU is sibling
with - thus a thread. The list is in the cpuset format.
Adds a "ram" attribute globally to the video.model element, that changes
the resulting qemu command line only if video.type == "qxl".
<video>
<model type='qxl' ram='65536' vram='65536' heads='1'/>
</video>
That attribute gets a default value of 64*1024. The schema is unchanged
for other video element types.
The resulting qemu command line change is the addition of
-global qxl-vga.ram_size=<ram>*1024
or
-global qxl.ram_size=<ram>*1024
For the main and secondary qxl devices respectively.
The default for the qxl ram bar is 64*1024 kilobytes (the same as the
default qxl vram bar size).
