Currently, we configure QEMU to prealloc memory almost by
default. Well, by default for NVDIMMs, hugepages and if user
asked us to (via memoryBacking <allocation mode="immediate"/>).
However, when guest's NVDIMM is backed by real life NVDIMM this
approach is not the best. In this case users should put <pmem/>
into the <memory/> device <source/>, like this:
<memory model='nvdimm' access='shared'>
<source>
<path>/dev/pmem0</path>
<pmem/>
</source>
</memory>
Instructing QEMU to do prealloc in this case means that each
page of the NVDIMM is "touched" (the first byte is read and
written back - see QEMU commit v2.9.0-rc1~26^2) which cripples
device wear.

During testing of my patch v6.10.0-rc1~221 it was found that
'ovs-vsctl get Interface $name name' or
'ovs-vsctl find Interface options:vhost-server-path=$path'
may return a string in double quotes, e.g. "vhost-user1". Later
investigation of openvswitch code showed, that early versions
(like 1.3.0) have somewhat restrictive set of safe characters
(isalpha() || '_' || '-' || '.'), which is then refined with
increasing version. For instance, version 2.11.4 has: isalnum()
|| '_' || '-' || '.'. If the string that ovs-vsctl wants to
output contains any other character it is escaped. You want to be
looking at ovsdb_atom_to_string() which handles outputting of a
single string and calls string_needs_quotes() and possibly
json_serialize_string() in openvswitch code base.
Since the interfaces are usually named "vhost-userN" we are
facing a problem where with one version we get the name in double
quotes and with another we get plain name without funny business.
Because of json involved I thought, let's make ovs-vsctl output
into JSON format and then use our JSON parser, but guess what -
ovs-vsctl ignores --format=json. But with a little help of
g_strdup_printf() it can be turned into JSON.

In v6.8.0-27-g88957116c9 and friends I've switched the way the
default RAM is specified for QEMU (from plain -m to
memory-backend-*). This means, that even if a guest doesn't have
any NUMA nodes configured we can use memory-backend-* attributes
to translate user config requests. For instance, we can allow
memory to be shared (<access mode='shared'/> under
<memoryBacking/>). But what my original commits are missing is
allowing such configuration in our validator.

Since Xen 4.2 libxl expects device_model_override="/path" instead of

While libxl also recognizes device_model_version="", this knob is not
required for libvirt. A runtime detection exists in libvirt to select
either "qemu-xen" or "qemu-xen-traditional".
Since qemu-xen-traditional is marked as supported just for stubdoms
there is no need to handle it.

Attempting to create a lxc domain with <seclabel type='none'/> fails
virsh --connect lxc:/// create distro_nosec.xml
error: Failed to create domain from distro_nosec.xml
error: unsupported configuration: Security driver model '(null)' is not available
Commit 638ffa2228 adjusted the logic for setting a driver's default
security model.
The lxc driver does not set a default security driver model in the XML
parser config, causing seclabels of type='none' to have a null model.
The lxc driver's security manager is initialized in lxcStateInitialize()
by calling lxcSecurityInit(). Use the model of this manager as the
default in the XML parser config.
For the record, this is a regression caused by commit 638ffa2228, which
changed the logic for setting a driver's default security model. The
qemu driver was adjusted accordingly, but a similar change was missed
in the lxc driver.
