Assuming that the backing image format is raw is wrong when doing image
detection:
1) In -drive mode qemu will still probe the image format of the backing
image. This means it will try to open a backing file of the image
which will fail if a more advanced security model is in use.
2) In blockdev mode the image will be opened as raw actually which is
wrong since it might be qcow. Not opening the backing images will
also end up in the guest seeing corrupted data.
Rather than attempt to solve various corner cases when us assuming the
storage file being raw and actually being right forbid startup when the
guest image doesn't have the format specified in the metadata.

This function will be called for every virCgroup(Allow|Deny)* API in
order to prepare BPF program for guest. Since libvirtd can be restarted
at any point we will first try to detect existing progam, if there is
none we will create a new empty BPF program and lastly if we don't have
any space left in the existing BPF map we will create a new copy of the
BPF map with more space and attach a new program with that map into the
guest cgroup.
This solution allows us to start with reasonably small BPF map consuming
only small amount of memory and if needed we can easily extend the BPF
map if there is a lot of host devices used in guest or if user wants to
hot-plug a lot of devices once the guest is running.
Since there is no way how to reallocate existing BPF map we need to
create a new copy if we run out of space in current BPF map.
This overcomes all the limitations in BPF:
- map used in program has to be created before the program is loaded
into kernel
- once map is created you cannot change its size
- you cannot replace map in existing program
- you cannot use an array of maps because it can store FD to maps
of one specific size so we would not be able to use it to overcome
the second issue

for devices. The old program will be closed and removed from kernel.
There are two possible ways how to create BPF program:
- One way is to write simple C-like code which can by compiled into
BPF object file which can be loaded into kernel using elfutils.
- The second way is to define macros which look like assembler
instructions and can be used directly to create BPF program that
can be directly loaded into kernel.
Since the program is not too complex we can use the second option.
If there is no program, all devices are allowed, if there is some
program it is executed and based on the exit status the access is
denied for 0 and allowed for 1.
Our program will follow these rules:
- first it will try to look for the specific key using major and
minor to see if there is any rule for that specific device
- if there is no specific rule it will try to look for any rule that
matches only major of the device
- if there is no match with major it will try the same but with
minor of the device
- as the last attempt it will try to look for rule for all devices

When libvirt first implemented a stable and configurable MAC address
for the bridges created for libvirt virtual networks (commit
5754dbd56d, in libvirt v0.8.8) most distro stable releases didn't
support explicitly setting the MAC address of a bridge; the bridge
just always assumed the lowest numbered MAC of all attached
interfaces. Because of this, we stabilized the bridge MAC address by
creating a "dummy" tap interface with a MAC address guaranteed to be
lower than any of the guest tap devices' MACs (which all started with
0xFE, so it's not difficult to do) and attached it to the bridge -
this was the inception of the "virbr0-nic" device that has confused so
many people over the years.
Even though the linux kernel had recently gained support for
explicitly setting a bridge MAC, we deemed it unnecessary to set the
MAC that way, because the other (indirect) method worked everywhere.
But recently there have been reports that the bridge MAC address was
not following the setting in the network config, and mismatched the
MAC of the dummy tap device (which was still correct). It turns out
that this is due to a change in systemd-242 that persists whatever MAC
address is set for a bridge when it's initially started. According to
the systemd NEWS file entry for version 242
(https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/NEWS):
"if a bridge interface is created without any slaves, and gains
a slave later, then now the bridge does not inherit slave's MAC."
This change was the result of:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/3374
(apparently if there is no MAC saved for a bridge by the name of a
bridge being created, the random MAC generated during creation is
saved, and then that same MAC is used to explicitly set the MAC each
time it is created). Once a bridge has an explicitly set MAC, the "use
the lowest numbered MAC of attached devices" rule is ignored, so our
dummy tap device is like the goggles - it does nothing! (well, almost).
We could whine about changes in default behavior, etc. etc., but
because the change was in response to actual user problems, that seems
likely a fruitless task. Fortunately, time has marched on, and even
distro releases that are old enough that they are no longer supported
by upstream libvirt (e.g. RHEL6) have support for explicitly setting a
bridge device MAC address, either during creation or with a separate
ioctl after creation, so we can now do that.
To enable explicitly setting the mac during bridge creation, we add a
mac arg to virNetDevBridgeCreate(). In the case of platforms where
the bridge is created with a netlink RTM_NEWLINK message, we just add
that mac to the message. For platforms that still use an ioctl (either
SIOCBRADDBR or SIOCIFCREATE2), we make a separate call to
virNetDevSetMAC() after creating the bridge.
(NB: I was unable to test the calling of virNetDevSetMAC() from the
SIOCIFCREATE2 (BSD) version of virNetDevBridgeCreate(); even though I
managed to get a FreeBSD system setup and libvirt built there, when I
tried to start the default network the SIOCIFCREATE2 ioctl itself
failed, so it never even got to the virNetDevSetMAC(). That leaves the
FreeBSD implementation untested.)
This makes the dummy tap pointless for purposes of setting the MAC
address, but it is still useful for IPv6 DAD initialization (which
apparently requires at least one interface to be attached to the
bridge and online), as well as for setting an initial MTU for the
bridge, so it hasn't been removed.
(NB: we can safely *always* call virNetDevBridgeCreate() with
&def->mac from the network driver because, in spite of the existence
of a "mac_specified" bool in the config suggesting that it may not
always be present, in reality a mac address will always be added to
any network that doesn't have one - this is guaranteed in all cases by
commit a47ae7c004)

Although until now, any use of the extra_args argument (a pointer to a
struct containing extra attributes to add the the RTM_NEWLINK message)
would always have the ifindex and mac set, so the code could assume it
was safe to add both to the message if extra_args != NULL. There is
now a use for setting a MAC address in the RTM_NEWLINK without setting
the ifindex, so we should check each of these separately.

Now that we don't have to deal with errors of virBuffer we can also make
this function void.

The function now does not return an error so we can drop it fully.
