Historically we had two top level XSL files for top level and nested
documents which only differ in what they pass for 'href_base' to the
main 'page.xsl' file.
We can instead pass the variable as argument from the build system so
that we have just one XSL file and also allow for more nested document
trees in the future.
The '404' page is special even with the current XSL way so we add a
special case for it.

Instead of creating an empty object and then setting keys one
at a time, it is possible to pass a dict object to
configuration_data(). This is nicer because it doesn't require
repeating the name of the cfg_data object over and over.
There is one exception: the 'conf' object, where we store values
that are used directly by C code. In that case, using a dict
object is not feasible for two reasons: first of all, replacing
the set_quoted() calls would result in awkward code with a lot
of calls to format(); moreover, since code that modifies it is
sprinkled all over the place, refactoring it would probably
make things more complicated rather than simpler.

When invoking 'virsh guestinfo $VM' without explicitly specifying a

This is desired in situations when you are okay with stats being missing

Let's imagine a guest that's configured with strict numatune:
<numatune>
<memory mode='strict' nodeset='0'/>
</numatune>
For guests with NUMA:
Depending on machine type used (see commit v6.4.0-rc1~75) we
generate either:
1) -object '{"qom-type":"memory-backend-ram","id":"ram-node0",\
"size":20971520,"host-nodes":[0],"policy":"preferred"}' \
-numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0,memdev=ram-node0
or
2) -numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0,mem=20480
Later, when QEMU boots up and cpuset CGroup controller is
available we further restrict QEMU there too. But there's a
behaviour difference hidden: while in case 1) QEMU is restricted
from beginning, in case 2) it is not and thus it may happen that
it will allocate memory from different NUMA node and even though
CGroup will try to migrate it, it may fail to do so (e.g. because
memory is locked). Therefore, one can argue that case 2) is
broken. NB, case 2) is exactly what mode 'restrictive' is for.
However, in case 1) we are unable to update QEMU with new
host-nodes, simply because it's lacking a command to do so.
For guests without NUMA:
It's very close to case 2) from above. We have commit
v7.10.0-rc1~163 that prevents us from outputting host-nodes when
generating memory-backend-* for system memory, but that simply
allows QEMU to allocate memory anywhere and then relies on
CGroups to move it to desired location.
Due to all of this, there is no reliable way to change nodeset
for mode 'strict'. Let's forbid it.

Non-shared storage migration of guests which are disk I/O intensive and
have fast local storage may actually never converge if the guest happens
to dirty the disk faster than it can be copied.
This patch introduces a new flag
'VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_SYNCHRONOUS_WRITES' which will instruct
hypervisors to synchronize local I/O writes with the writes to remote
storage used for migration so that the guest can't overwhelm the
migration. This comes at a cost of decreased local I/O performance for
guests which behave well on average.

Issuing simple QMP commands is pain as they need to be wrapped by the

and optionally also:

For simple commands without arguments we can add syntax sugar to virsh
which allows simple usage of QMP and additionally prepares also for
passing through of the 'arguments' section:
virsh qemu-monitor-command $VM query-status
is equivalent to
virsh qemu-monitor-command $VM '{"execute":"query-status"}'
and
virsh qemu-monitor-command $VM query-named-block-nodes '{"flat":true}'
or
virsh qemu-monitor-command $VM query-named-block-nodes '"flat":true'
