For qemu names the primary vga as "qxl-vga":
1) if vram is specified for 2nd qxl device:
-vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=$SIZE \
-device qxl,id=video1,vram_size=$SIZE,...
2) if vram is not specified for 2nd qxl device, (use the default
set by global):
-vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=$SIZE \
-device qxl,id=video1,...
For qemu names all qxl devices as "qxl":
1) if vram is specified for 2nd qxl device:
-vga qxl -global qxl.vram_size=$SIZE \
-device qxl,id=video1,vram_size=$SIZE ...
2) if vram is not specified for 2nd qxl device:
-vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=$SIZE \
-device qxl,id=video1,...
"-global" is the only way to define vram_size for the primary qxl
device, regardless of how qemu names it, (It's not good a good
way, as original idea of "-global" is to set a global default for
a driver property, but to specify vram for first qxl device, we
have to use it).
For other qxl devices, as they are represented by "-device", could
specify it directly and seperately for each, and it overrides the
default set by "-global" if specified.
v1 - v2:
* modify "virDomainVideoDefaultRAM" so that it returns 16M as the
default vram_size for qxl device.
* vram_size * 1024 (qemu accepts bytes for vram_size).
* apply default vram_size for qxl device for which vram_size is
not specified.
* modify "graphics-spice" tests (more sensiable vram_size)
* Add an argument of virDomainDefPtr type for qemuBuildVideoDevStr,
to use virDomainVideoDefaultRAM in qemuBuildVideoDevStr).
v2 - v3:
* Modify default video memory size for qxl device from 16M to 24M
* Update codes to be consistent with changes on qemu_capabilities.*

Explanation
qemu's virtio-net-pci driver allows setting the algorithm used for tx
packets to either "bh" or "timer". This is done by adding ",tx=bh" or
",tx=timer" to the "-device virtio-net-pci" commandline option.
'bh' stands for 'bottom half'; when this is set, packet tx is all done
in an iothread in the bottom half of the driver. (In libvirt, this
option is called the more descriptive "iothread".)
'timer' means that tx work is done in qemu, and if there is more tx
data than can be sent at the present time, a timer is set before qemu
moves on to do other things; when the timer fires, another attempt is
made to send more data. (libvirt retains the name "timer" for this
option.)
The resulting difference, according to the qemu developer who added
the option is:
bh makes tx more asynchronous and reduces latency, but potentially
causes more processor bandwidth contention since the cpu doing the
tx isn't necessarily the cpu where the guest generated the
packets.
Solution
This patch provides a libvirt domain xml knob to change the option on
the qemu commandline, by adding a new attribute "txmode" to the
<driver> element that can be placed inside any <interface> element in
a domain definition. It's use would be something like this:
<interface ...>
...
<model type='virtio'/>
<driver txmode='iothread'/>
...
</interface>
I chose to put this setting as an attribute to <driver> rather than as
a sub-element to <tune> because it is specific to the virtio-net
driver, not something that is generally usable by all network drivers.
(note that this is the same placement as the "driver name=..."
attribute used to choose kernel vs. userland backend for the
virtio-net driver.)
Actually adding the tx=xxx option to the qemu commandline is only done
if the version of qemu being used advertises it in the output of
qemu -device virtio-net-pci,?
If a particular txmode is requested in the XML, and the option isn't
listed in that help output, an UNSUPPORTED_CONFIG error is logged, and
the domain fails to start.
qemu allows the user to choose what io storage api should be used,
either the default (threads) or native (linux aio) which in the latter
case can result in better performance.
Based on a patch originally by Matthias Dahl.

This supports the '-vga qxl' parameter in upstream QEMU/KVM
which has SPICE support added. This isn't particularly useful
until you get the next patch for -spice support. Also note that
while the libvirt XML supports multiple video devices, this
patch only supports a single one. A later patch can add support
for 2nd, 3rd, etc PCI devices for QXL

Additionally, an explicit qemuxml2argvtest for scsi disks is added.

Add a new element to the <os> block:
<bootmenu enable="yes|no"/>
Which maps to -boot,menu=on|off on the QEMU command line.
I decided to use an explicit 'enable' attribute rather than just make the
bootmenu element boolean. This allows us to treat lack of a bootmenu element
as 'use hypervisor default'.
* virStorageEncryptionFormat is called from both
virDomainDiskDefFormat and virStorageVolTargetDefFormat. The proper
indentation in the generated XML depends on the caller. My earlier
patch to fix the incorrect indentation for the domain XML broke the
indentation for the storage XML. This patch adopts Laine's
suggestion of requring the caller of virStorageEncryptionFormat to
provide an unsigned int with the number of spaces the output should
be indented. The patch modifies both callers to provide the
additional argument.

Add support for virtio-serial by defining a new 'virtio' channel target type
and a virtio-serial controller. Allows the following to be specified in a
domain:
<controller type='virtio-serial' index='0' ports='16' vectors='4'/>
<channel type='pty'>
<target type='virtio' name='org.linux-kvm.port.0'/>
<address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0'/>

The current QEMU code allocates PCI addresses incrementally starting
at 4. This is not satisfactory because the user may have given some
addresses in their XML config, which need to be skipped over when
allocating addresses to remaining devices.
It is thus neccessary to maintain a list of already allocated PCI
addresses and then only allocate ones that remain unused. This is
also required for domain device hotplug to work properly later.
* src/qemu/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu/qemu_conf.h: Add APIs for creating
list of existing PCI addresses, and allocating new addresses.
Refactor address assignment to use this code
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Pull PCI address assignment up into the
qemuStartVMDaemon() method, as a prelude to moving it into the
'define' method. Update list of allocated addresses when connecting
to a running VM at daemon startup.
* tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c, tests/qemuargv2xmltest.c,

When parsing the <disk> element specification, if no <address>
is provided for the disk, then automatically assign one based on
the <target dev='sdXX'/> device name. This provides for backwards
compatability with existing applications using libvirt, while also
allowing new apps to have complete fine grained control.
* src/conf/domain_conf.h, src/conf/domain_conf.c,
src/libvirt_private.syms: Add virDomainDiskDefAssignAddress()
for assigning a controller/bus/unit address based on disk target
