With this patch, it's possible to shut down guests in parallel. Parallel
startup was possible before, but this functionality was not documented
properly.
To enable parallel startup set the START_DELAY to 0.
Parallel shutdown has a configurable parameter PARALLEL_SHUTDOWN that
defines the number of machines being shut down in parallel. Enabling
this feature changes the semantics of SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT parameter that is
applied as a cumulative timeout to shutdown all guests on a URI.
This patch adds a check to the libvirt-guests script to check for the
URI to be alive before attempting any calls. This avoids nasty error
messages and allows us to fail gracefully and continue on other URIs
configured in the script.
The libvirt-guests script tried to do a managed save of transient guest
that failed. This patch notifies which guests are transient (and not
being saved) and saves only the persistent ones.
This patch adds documentation to functions defined in the libvirt-guests
init script and changes use of virsh's new commands to make the script
easier.
libvirt-guests is a perfect use case for bypassing the file system
cache - lots of filesystem traffic done at system shutdown, where
caching is pointless, and startup, where reading large files only
once just gets in the way. Make this a configurable option in the
init script, but defaulting to existing behavior.
* tools/libvirt-guests.sysconf (BYPASS_CACHE): New variable.
* tools/libvirt-guests.init.sh (start, suspend_guest): Use it.
At least protect the $uri variable against further expansion by properly
quoting it. While doing that, also quote all other variables to protect
against shell meta characters.

awk splits the line on consecutive spaces, which breaks getting the name
of a domain whose name contains spaces. Use sed instead to strip the
"Name:" prefix from the line
