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

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'.

To make things simpler, let's use the same block of code in

This will be achieved by making it configurable and wrapping it in a
comment that instructs anybody editing it to keep it identical.

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

These XML attributes have been mandatory since the introduction of SEV

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.

Hyper-V version numbers are not compatible with the encoding in

For example, the Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V version is 10.0.14393: its
micro is over 14 times larger than the encoding allows.
This commit repacks the Hyper-V version number in order to preserve all
of the digits. The major and minor are concatenated (with minor zero-
padded to two digits) to form the repacked major value. This works
because Microsoft's major and minor versions numbers are unlikely to
exceed 99. The repacked minor value is derived from the digits in the
thousands, ten-thousands, and hundred-thousands places of Hyper-V's
micro. The repacked micro is derived from the digits in the ones, tens,
and hundreds places of Hyper-V's micro.

In [1], changes were made to remove the existing auto-alignment

where the NVDIMM size reported in the domain XML is different
from what QEMU is actually using. We removed the auto-alignment

However, this goes against Libvirt design philosophy of not
tampering with existing guest behavior, as pointed out by Daniel
in [2]. Since we can't know for sure whether there are guests that
are relying on the auto-alignment feature to work, the changes
made in [1] are a direct violation of this rule.

There was one attempt a year ago done by me to drop HAL [1] but it was
never resolved. There was another time when Dan suggested to drop HAL
driver [2] but it was decided to keep it around in case device
assignment will be implemented for FreeBSD and the fact that
virt-manager uses node device driver [3].
I checked git history and code and it doesn't look like bhyve supports
device assignment so from that POV it should not block removing HAL.
The argument about virt-manager is not strong as well because libvirt
installed from FreeBSD packages doesn't have HAL support so it will not
affect these users as well [4].
The only users affected by this change would be the ones compiling
libvirt from GIT on FreeBSD.
I looked into alternatives and there is libudev-devd package on FreeBSD
but unfortunately it doesn't work as it doesn't list any devices when
used with libvirt. It provides libudev APIs using devd.
I also looked into devd directly and it provides some APIs but there are
no APIs for device monitoring and events so that would have to be
somehow done by libvirt.
Main motivation for dropping HAL support is to replace libdbus with GLib
dbus implementation and it cannot be done with HAL driver present in
libvirt because HAL APIs heavily depends on symbols provided by libdbus.

This syntax rule doesn't make much sense, especially if there are so
much exceptions to it. Just remove it and adjust the coding style.

Make channel subsystem (CSS) devices available in the node_device driver.
The CCS devices reside in the computer system and provide CCW devices, e.g.:

+- scsi_host0

+- scsi_target0_0_0

The original author intended to write "different than".
"Different" is commonly followed by "from", "than", and "to".
Globally, "from" is the most common.

This wires up support for using the new virt-ssh-helper binary with the ssh,
libssh and libssh2 protocols.
The new binary will be used preferentially if it is available in $PATH,
otherwise we fall back to traditional netcat.
The "proxy" URI parameter can be used to force use of netcat e.g.
qemu+ssh://host/system?proxy=netcat
or the disable fallback e.g.
qemu+ssh://host/system?proxy=native
With use of virt-ssh-helper, we can now support remote session URIs
qemu+ssh://host/session
and this will only use virt-ssh-helper, with no fallback. This also lets
the libvirtd process be auto-started, and connect directly to the
modular daemons, avoiding use of virtproxyd back-compat tunnelling.

Add some expanded examples for the nat ipv6 introduced with
927acaedec.
Unfortunately while for IPv4 it's well-known what addresses ranges are
useful for NAT, with IPv6 unless you enjoy digging through RFC's going
back-and-forth over unique local addresses and the meaning of the word
"site" it's generally much less obvious. I've tried to add some
details on choosing a range inline with RFC 4193 and then some
pointers for when it maybe doesn't work in the guest as you first
expect despite you doing what the RFC's say!

Even though this was brought up in upstream discussion [1] it
missed my patches: users should prefer <oemStrings/> over fwcfg.
The reason is that fwcfg is considered somewhat internal to QEMU
and it has limited number of slots and neither of these applies
to <oemStrings/>.
While I'm at it, I'm fixing the example too (because it contains
incorrect element name) and clarifying sysfs/ exposure.
