7d48cb9bbb news: Add an empty <change> to each <section>
The generated HTML will contain <ul></ul> otherwise, which

The proper fix would be not to generate the problematic
HTML in the first place but, while I'm working on it, this
workaround will do.

The guest CPU definition has always been updated automatically during

1c06d0faba qemu: Forbid slashes in shmem name
With that users could access files outside /dev/shm.  That itself
isn't a security problem, but might cause some errors we want to
avoid.  So let's forbid slashes as we do with domain and volume names
and also mention that in the schema.

1d9ab0f04a qemu: Allow empty script path to <interface/>
Before 9c17d665fd (v1.3.2 - I know, right?) it was possible to
have the following interface configuration:

  <interface type='ethernet'/>
    <script path=''/>
  </interface>

This resulted in -netdev tap,script=,.. Fortunately, qemu helped
us to get away with this as it just ignored the empty script
path. However, after the commit mentioned above it's libvirtd
who is executing the script. Unfortunately without special
case-ing empty script path.

68a42bf6f7 conf: support configuring mtu size in a virtual network
Example:

  <network>
     ...
     <mtu size='9000'/>
     ...

If mtu is unset, it's assumed that we want the default for whatever is
the underlying transport (usually this is 1500).

This setting isn't yet wired in, so it will have no effect.

This partially resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1224348

54eaf639a5 docs: Release notes should be updated in a separate commit
Updating docs/news.xml in the same commit that performs the
documented change makes backports needlessly complicated,
both for mainteinance branches and downstream distributions,
because it introduces additional potential for merge
conflicts.

Document in the contributor guidelines that the release notes
should be updated in a separate commit instead, so that it's
easy to backport just the code change.

666bee3973 nodedev: Fabric name must not be required for fc_host capability
fabric_name is one of many fc_host attributes in Linux that is optional
and left to the low-level driver to decide if it is implemented.
The zfcp device driver does not provide a fabric name for an fcp host.

This patch removes the requirement for a fabric name by making it optional.

0d157b3fed disk: Fixup error handling path for devmapper when part_separator='yes'
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1346566

If libvirt_parthelper is erroneously told to append the partition
separator 'p' onto the generated output for a disk pool using device
mapper that has 'user_friendly_names' set to true, then the error
recovery path will fail to find volume resulting in the pool being
in an unusable state.

So, augment the documentation to provide the better hint that the
part_separator='yes' should be set when user_friendly_names are not
being used. Additionally, once we're in the error path where the
returned name doesn't match the expected partition name try to see
if the reason is because the 'p' was erroneosly added. If so alter
the about to be removed vol->target.path so that the DiskDeleteVol
code can find the partition that was created and remove it.

For HVM domains, pae is only set in libxl_domain_build_info when
explicitly specified in the hypervisor <features> config. This is
fine for i686 machines, but is incorrect behavior for x86_64 machines
where pae must always be enabled. See the following discussion for
additional details
