3fc65ae9e2 tools: Add domsetlaunchsecstate virsh command
After attesting a domain with the help of domlaunchsecinfo,
domsetlaunchsecstate can be used to set a secret in the guest
domain's memory prior to running the vcpus.

f3b422d9cc docs: Clarify 'burst' units for QoS
The burst attribute for bandwidth specifies how much bytes can be
transmitted in a single burst. Therefore, the unit is in
multiples of 1024 (thus kibibytes) not SI-like 1000. It has
always been like that.

The 'tc' output is still confusing though, for instance:

  # tc class add dev $DEV parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 1000kbps burst 2097152
  # tc class show dev vnet2
  class htb 1:1 root rate 8Mbit ceil 8Mbit burst 2Mb cburst 1600b

Please note that 2097152 = 2*1024*1024. Even the man page is
confusing. From tc(8):

  kb or k        Kilobytes
  mb or m        Megabytes

But I guess this is because 'tc' predates IEC standardisation of
binary multiples and thus can't change without breaking scripts
parsing its output.

And while at it, adjust _virNetDevBandwidthRate struct member
description, to make it obvious which members use SI/IEC units.

66566e84b8 storage: Introduce 'extended_l2' feature for storage volume
QCOW2 images now support 'extended_l2' which splits the default clusters
into 32 subcluster allocation units. This allows the allocation units to
be smaller without increasing the size of L2 table too much and thus also
the cache requirements for holding the full L2 table in memory.

Unfortunately it's incompatible with qemu versions older than 5.2 thus
can't be used as default.

06f405c627 qemu: Explicitly forbid live changing nodeset for strict numatune
Let's imagine a guest that's configured with strict numatune:

  <numatune>
    <memory mode='strict' nodeset='0'/>
  </numatune>

For guests with NUMA:
Depending on machine type used (see commit v6.4.0-rc1~75) we
generate either:

  1) -object '{"qom-type":"memory-backend-ram","id":"ram-node0",\
               "size":20971520,"host-nodes":[0],"policy":"preferred"}' \
     -numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0,memdev=ram-node0

or

  2) -numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0,mem=20480

Later, when QEMU boots up and cpuset CGroup controller is
available we further restrict QEMU there too. But there's a
behaviour difference hidden: while in case 1) QEMU is restricted
from beginning, in case 2) it is not and thus it may happen that
it will allocate memory from different NUMA node and even though
CGroup will try to migrate it, it may fail to do so (e.g. because
memory is locked). Therefore, one can argue that case 2) is
broken. NB, case 2) is exactly what mode 'restrictive' is for.
However, in case 1) we are unable to update QEMU with new
host-nodes, simply because it's lacking a command to do so.

For guests without NUMA:
It's very close to case 2) from above. We have commit
v7.10.0-rc1~163 that prevents us from outputting host-nodes when
generating memory-backend-* for system memory, but that simply
allows QEMU to allocate memory anywhere and then relies on
CGroups to move it to desired location.

Due to all of this, there is no reliable way to change nodeset
for mode 'strict'. Let's forbid it.

cd4e917760 conf: add support for setting SEV kernel hashes
Normally the SEV measurement only covers the firmware
loader contents. When doing a direct kernel boot, however,
with new enough OVMF it is possible to ask for the
measurement to cover the kernel, ramdisk and command line.

It can't be done automatically as that would break existing
guests using direct kernel boot with old firmware, so there
is a new XML setting allowing this behaviour to be toggled.

Non-shared storage migration of guests which are disk I/O intensive and

to dirty the disk faster than it can be copied.

This patch introduces a new flag
'VIR_MIGRATE_NON_SHARED_SYNCHRONOUS_WRITES' which will instruct
hypervisors to synchronize local I/O writes with the writes to remote
storage used for migration so that the guest can't overwhelm the
migration. This comes at a cost of decreased local I/O performance for
guests which behave well on average.
