It's useful to have virt-admin around when debugging issues
with libvirtd, and since it's a tiny binary we can simply
include it in the -daemon package to ensure it's always going

Commit 95f8e3237e which introduced XML schema validation
for snapshot XMLs always asserted the validation for the XML generated
by 'virsh snapshot-create-as' on the basis that it's libvirt-generated,
thus valid.
This unfortunately isn't true as users can influence certain bits of the
XML such as the disk image path which must be a full path. Thus if a
user tries to invoke virsh as:
$ virsh snapshot-create-as upstream --diskspec vda,file=relative.qcow2
error: XML document failed to validate against schema: Unable to validate doc against /path/to/domainsnapshot.rng
Extra element disks in interleave
Element domainsnapshot failed to validate content
They get a rather useless error from the libxml2 RNG validator.
With this fix applied, we get to the XML parser in libvirtd which has a
more reasonable error:
$ virsh snapshot-create-as upstream --diskspec vda,file=relative.qcow2
error: XML error: disk snapshot image path 'relative.qcow2' must be absolute
Instead users can force validation of the XML generated by 'virsh
snapshot-create-as' by passing the '--validate' flag.

Historically, we declared pointer type to our types:
typedef struct _virXXX virXXX;
typedef virXXX *virXXXPtr;
But usefulness of such declaration is questionable, at best.
Unfortunately, we can't drop every such declaration - we have to
carry some over, because they are part of public API (e.g.
virDomainPtr). But for internal types - we can do drop them and
use what every other C project uses 'virXXX *'.
This change was generated by a very ugly shell script that
generated sed script which was then called over each file in the

The

evidenced by fact that we use a single struct field to store both
attributes, while needlessly introducing an error scenario. The XML can
just be simplified to:
<os firmware='efi'>
<firmware>
<feature enabled='no' name='enrolled-keys'/>
</firmware>
</os>
which also means that we don't need to emit the empty element
<firmware type='efi'/> for all existing configs too.

There were a number of occurrences where we used nested inline markup
(verbatim + refs) which is currently not possible with RST syntax [1].
There is a possible workaround involving substitution definitions like
.. |virConnectPtr| replace:: ``virConnectPtr``
.. _virConnectPtr: /html/libvirt-libvirt-host.html#virConnectPtr
Substitutions cannot be made generic, hence we cannot create a template
for substitution and use a single template everywhere, so we'd end up
with a lot of clutter and convolution. Therefore, we can make an
exception and just link the data type without further style markup.
