QEMU version 4.2 introduced a performance feature under commit
d645e13287 ("kvm: i386: halt poll control MSR support").
This patch adds a new KVM feature 'poll-control' to set this performance
hint for KVM guests. The feature is off by default.
To enable this hint and have libvirt add "-cpu host,kvm-poll-control=on"
to the QEMU command line, the following XML code needs to be added to the
guest's domain description:
<features>
<kvm>
<poll-control state='on'/>
</kvm>
</features>

page.xsl was adding '<div id="content">' wrapper for the content picked
up from the <body> element from the original input file. Optionally
class="$DOCNAME" was added for some documents taken from <body>.
Since docs generated from RST by docutils have a '<div class='document'
id='$DOCNAME>' we actually don't need an extra wrapper for them.
Additionally if we standardize on one of them we can use the same styles
for both. I've picked the latter because it makes more sense to use the
document name as 'id'.
This patch:
1) Modifies the XSL trasformation to add the wrapper only if it's not
present.
2) Modifies the XSL transformation to use 'id' for document name and
class='document' for the wrapper element.
3) Changes docs.html/index.html/hvsupport.html to use 'id' instead of
'class' for document name.
4) Modifies the main stylesheet to keep styling the elements properly

Use the 'parent' axis to check whether the parent is a div with
class='section' rather than looking for 'toc-backref' anchor to see
whether to generate one of the headerlink alternatives. Both hare
docutils-specific thus apply to docs generated from RST documents.
This adds the links for pages generated from RST documents which don't
have a table of contents (and thus lack the 'toc-backref' anchors) and
thus fixes pages such as hacking.html and news.html to have reasonable

The current udev node device driver ignores all events related to vdpa
devices. Since libvirt now supports vDPA network devices, include these
devices in the device list.
Example output:
virsh # nodedev-list
[...ommitted long list of nodedevs...]
vdpa_vdpa0
virsh # nodedev-dumpxml vdpa_vdpa0
<device>

<driver>
<name>vhost_vdpa</name>
</driver>
<capability type='vdpa'>
<chardev>/dev/vhost-vdpa-0</chardev>
</capability>
</device>
NOTE: normally the 'parent' would be a PCI device instead of 'computer',
but this example output is from the vdpa_sim kernel module, so it
doesn't have a normal parent device.

This patch adds new schema and adds support for parsing and formatting
domain configurations that include vdpa devices.
vDPA network devices allow high-performance networking in a virtual
machine by providing a wire-speed data path. These devices require a
vendor-specific host driver but the data path follows the virtio
specification.
When a device on the host is bound to an appropriate vendor-specific
driver, it will create a chardev on the host at e.g. /dev/vhost-vdpa-0.
That chardev path can then be used to define a new interface with
type='vdpa'.

Meson unfortunately doesn't give us any means to share the code using
xsltproc to output HTMLs processed by our template. This means we will
have to resort to copy&paste engineering.
To make things simpler, let's use the same block of code in
docs/meson.build but also any of the subdirs which generate htmls.
This will be achieved by making it configurable and wrapping it in a
comment that instructs anybody editing it to keep it identical.
We need to be able to configure the template file used and installation
directory. The rest of the processing is same as we do in
docs/meson.build.
This code will then be copied to subdirs to refactor the current
approach used there.

Since we no longer reformat the XSLT-transformed files, there's no need
to use an external script any more.
Unfortunately this hid errors from 'xsltproc' as return value was not
checked and the stderr was piped into xmllints stdin. The result was
that any invalid input file would result into an empty output file.
Since the script's only purpose was to prevent additional temporary
files at the time we were reformatting the output in a pipeline we no
longer need this.
Moving the generation directly into the meson definition makes it more
obvious what's happening and saves readers from having to parse what's
going on. A free bonus is that errors are now properly caught and
reported.
This patch converts the main docs/ directory for now with cleanup of
other comming later.

These XML attributes have been mandatory since the introduction of SEV
support to libvirt. This design decision was based on QEMU's
requirement for these to be mandatory for migration purposes, as
differences in these values across platforms must result in the
pre-migration checks failing (not that migration with SEV works at the
time of this patch).
Expecting the user to specify these is cumbersome and the same XML
cannot be re-used across different revisions of SEV. Since
we have SEV platform information saved in QEMU capabilities, we can
make the attributes optional and should fill them in automatically
in the QEMU driver right before starting it.
