Extend the TPM backend XML with a node 'active_pcr_banks' that allows a
user to specify the PCR banks to activate before starting a VM. Valid
choices for PCR banks are sha1, sha256, sha384 and sha512. When the XML
node is provided, the set of active PCR banks is 'enforced' by running
swtpm_setup before every start of the VM. The activation requires that
swtpm_setup v0.7 or later is installed and may not have any effect
otherwise.

This change introduces a new libvirt sub-element <pci> under
<features> that can be used to configure all pci related features.
Currently the only sub-sub element supported by this sub-element is
'acpi-bridge-hotplug' as shown below:
<features>
<pci>
<acpi-bridge-hotplug state='on|off'/>
</pci>
</features>
The above option is only available for the QEMU driver, for x86 guests
only. It is a global option, affecting all PCI bridge controllers on
the guest.
The 'acpi-bridge-hotplug' option enables or disables ACPI hotplug
support for cold-plugged pci bridges. Examples of bridges include the
PCI-PCI bridge (pci-bridge controller) for pc (i440fx) machinetypes,
or PCIe-PCI bridges and pcie-root-port controllers for q35
machinetypes.
For pc machinetypes in x86, this option has been available in QEMU
since version 2.1. Please see the following changes in qemu repo:
9e047b982452c6 ("piix4: add acpi pci hotplug support")
133a2da488062e ("pc: acpi: generate AML only for PCI0 devices if PCI
bridge hotplug is disabled")
For q35 machinetypes, this was introduced in QEMU 6.1 with the
following changes in qemu repo:
(a) c0e427d6eb5fef ("hw/acpi/ich9: Enable ACPI PCI hot-plug")
(b) 17858a16950860 ("hw/acpi/ich9: Set ACPI PCI hot-plug as default on
Q35")
The reasons for enabling ACPI based hotplug for PCIe (q35) based
machines (as opposed to native hotplug) are outlined in (b). There are
use cases where users would still want to use native
hotplug. Therefore, this config option enables users to choose either
ACPI based hotplug or native hotplug for bridges (for example for pcie
root port controller in q35 machines).
Qemu capability validation checks have also been added along with
related unit tests to exercise the new conf option.

This change introduces libvirt xml support to enable/disable hotplug on the
pci-root controller. It adds a 'target' subelement for the pci-root controller
with a 'hotplug' property. This property can be used to enable or disable
hotplug for the pci-root controller. For example, in order to disable hotplug
on the pci-root controller, one has to use set '<target hotplug='off'>' as
shown below:
<controller type='pci' model='pci-root'>
<target hotplug='off'/>
</controller>
'<target hotplug='on'>' option would enable hotplug for pci-root controller.
This is also the default value. This option is only available for pc machine
types and is applicable for qemu/kvm accelerator only.This feature was
introduced from qemu version 5.2 with the following change in qemu repository:
3d7e78aa7777f ("Introduce a new flag for i440fx to disable PCI hotplug on the root bus")
The above qemu commit describes some reasons why users might to disable hotplug

The virtio-mem has another property that isn't exposed yet:
current size exposed to the guest. Please note, that this is
different to <requested/> because esp. on sizing the memory
down guest may refuse to release some blocks. Therefore, let's
have another size to report in the XML. But because of its
nature, the <current/> won't be parsed and is report only (for
live XMLs).

The virtio-mem is paravirtualized mechanism of adding/removing
memory to/from a VM. A virtio-mem-pci device is split into blocks
of equal size which are then exposed (all or only a requested
portion of them) to the guest kernel to use as regular memory.
Therefore, the device has two important attributes:
1) block-size, which defines the size of a block
2) requested-size, which defines how much memory (in bytes)
is the device requested to expose to the guest.
The 'block-size' is configured on command line and immutable
throughout device's lifetime. The 'requested-size' can be set on
the command line too, but also is adjustable via monitor. In
fact, that is how management software places its requests to
change the memory allocation. If it wants to give more memory to
the guest it changes 'requested-size' to a bigger value, and if it
wants to shrink guest memory it changes the 'requested-size' to a
smaller value. Note, value of zero means that guest should
release all memory offered by the device. Of course, guest has to
cooperate. Therefore, there is a third attribute 'size' which is
read only and reflects how much memory the guest still has. This
can be different to 'requested-size', obviously. Because of name
clash, I've named it 'current' and it is dealt with in future
commits (it is a runtime information anyway).
In the backend, memory for virtio-mem is backed by usual objects:
memory-backend-{ram,file,memfd} and their size puts the cap on
the amount of memory that a virtio-mem device can offer to a
guest. But we are already able to express this info using <size/>
under <target/>.
Therefore, we need only two more elements to cover 'block-size'
and 'requested-size' attributes. This is the XML I've came up
with:
<memory model='virtio-mem'>
<source>
<nodemask>1-3</nodemask>
<pagesize unit='KiB'>2048</pagesize>
</source>
<target>
<size unit='KiB'>2097152</size>
<node>0</node>
<block unit='KiB'>2048</block>
<requested unit='KiB'>1048576</requested>
</target>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/>
</memory>
I hope by now it is obvious that:
1) 'requested-size' must be an integer multiple of
'block-size', and
2) virtio-mem-pci device goes onto PCI bus and thus needs PCI
address.
Then there is a limitation that the minimal 'block-size' is
transparent huge page size (I'll leave this without explanation).

When documenting our public API in some places we use '@' to
refer to the variable. For instance:
* This API tries to set guest time to the given value. The time
* to set (@seconds and @nseconds) should be in seconds relative
* to the Epoch of 1970-01-01 00:00:00 in UTC.
However, when generating HTML documentation these tokens are
copied verbatim. What we can do is drop the '@' character and
wrap the variable in <code/> so that it is formatted properly.
Due to the way we 'parse' docs a token might actually be slightly
more than just '@variable'. For instance in the example above we
will have the following tokens: '(@seconds' and '@nseconds)'.
Thus we need to handle possible substring before and after
variable.

reboots, the guest simply reboots.
For on_poweroff set to 'rename-restart' the following happens:
guest initiated shutdown -> 'destroy'
libvirt initiated shutdown -> 'reboot'
In addition when 'on_reboot' is 'destroy' in addition to 'on_poweroff'
being 'rename-restart' the guest is able to execute instructions after
issuing a reset before libvirt terminates it. This will be addressed
separately later.
