f2f9742d4d Fix multiple formatting problems in HTML docs
The rule generating the HTML docs passing the --html flag
to xsltproc. This makes it use the legacy HTML parser, which
either ignores or tries to fix all sorts of broken XML tags.
There's no reason why we should be writing broken XML in
the first place, so removing --html and adding the XHTML
doctype to all files forces us to create good XML.

This adds the XHTML doc type and fixes many, many XML tag
problems it exposes.

1e7cd39511 esx: Update version checks for vSphere 5.1
Also remove warnings for upcoming versions. There hadn't been any
compatibility problems with new ESX version over the whole lifetime
of the ESX driver, so I don't expect any in the future.

Update documentation to mention vSphere 5.x support.

23247a1efd esx: Support folders in the path of vpx:// connection URIs
Allow the datacenter and compute resource parts of the path
to be prefixed with folders. Therefore, the way the path is
parsed has changed. Before, it was split in 2 or 3 items and
the items' meanings were determined by their positions. Now
the path can have 2 or more items and the the vCenter server
is asked whether a folder, datacenter of compute resource
with the specified name exists at the current hierarchy level.

Before the datacenter and compute resource lookup automatically
traversed folders during lookup. This is logic got removed
and folders have to be specified explicitly.

The proper datacenter path including folders is now used when
accessing a datastore over HTTPS. This makes virsh dumpxml
and define work for datacenters in folders.

e5adda7e6b website: Point main page links to libvirt driver pages
The "libvirt supports:" section on the main page of libvirt.org
contains a list of hypervisors with links that point to the sites of
the underlying virt technologies.  The entry for KVM points to
http://www.linux-kvm.org/, for example.  People coming to libvirt.org
for the first time are likely to know about those sites, and they're
probably interested in how libvirt manages those technologies.  This
patch points those links to the libvirt driver pages instead.  It also
consolidates KVM and QEMU as there is only one libvirt driver page for
them.  Finally, it adds a line about networking support.

v2: incorporate Eric's feedback adding project links to driver pages.

website: Add project links to KVM/QEMU driver page
website: Add project links to Xen driver page
website: Add project links to LXC driver page
website: Add project links to OpenVZ driver page
website: Add project links to UML driver page
website: Add project links to Virtualbox driver page
website: Add project links to ESX driver page
website: Add project links to VMware driver page

e4938ce2f1 esx: Restrict vpx:// to handle a single host in a vCenter
Now a vpx:// connection has an explicitly specified host. This
allows to enabled several functions for a vpx:// connection
again, like host UUID, hostname, general node info, max vCPU
count, free memory, migration and defining new domains.

Lookup datacenter, compute resource, resource pool and host
system once and cache them. This simplifies the rest of the
code and reduces overall HTTP(S) traffic a bit.

esx:// and vpx:// can be mixed freely for a migration.

Ensure that migration source and destination refer to the
same vCenter. Also directly encode the resource pool and
host system object IDs into the migration URI in the prepare
function. Then directly build managed object references in
the perform function instead of re-looking up already known
information.

3827f7f087 esx: Add vpx:// scheme to allow direct connection to a vCenter
Add a pointer to the primary context of a connection and use it in all
driver functions that don't dependent on the context type. This includes
almost all functions that deal with a virDomianPtr. Therefore, using
a vpx:// connection allows you to perform all the usual domain related
actions like start, destroy, suspend, resume, dumpxml etc.

Some functions that require an explicitly specified ESX server don't work
yet. This includes the host UUID, the hostname, the general node info, the
max vCPU count and the free memory. Also not working yet are migration and
defining new domains.

d72d92565b esx: Add support for the controller element
Also don't abuse the disk driver name to specify the SCSI controller
model anymore:

  <driver name='buslogic'/>

Use the newly added model attribute of the controller element for this:

  <controller type='scsi' index='0' model='buslogic'/>

The disk driver name approach is deprecated now, but still works for
backward compatibility reasons.

Update the documentation and tests accordingly.

Fix usage of the words controller and id in the VMX handling code. Use
controller, bus and unit properly.

4acab37f56 esx: Allow 'lsisas1068' as SCSI controller type
Extend tests to cover all SCSI controller types and document the
new type.

The lsisas1068 SCSI controller type was added in ESX 4.0. The VMX
parser reports an error when this controller type is present. This
makes virsh dumpxml fail for every domain that uses this controller
type.

This patch fixes this and adds lsisas1068 to the list of accepted
SCSI controller types.

96ceb12443 esx: Fix 'vpx' MAC address range and allow arbitrary MAC addresses
The MAC addresses with 00:50:56 prefix are split into several ranges:

  00:50:56:00:00:00 - 00:50:56:3f:ff:ff  'static' range (manually assigned)
  00:50:56:80:00:00 - 00:50:56:bf:ff:ff  'vpx' range (assigned by a VI Client)

Erroneously the 'vpx' range was assumed to be larger and to occupy the
remaining addresses of the 00:50:56 prefix that are not part of the 'static'
range.

00:50:56 was used as prefix for generated MAC addresses, this is not possible
anymore, because there are gaps in the allowed ranges. Therefore, change the
prefix to 00:0c:29 which is the prefix for auto generated MAC addresses anyway.

Allow arbitrary MAC addresses to be used and set the checkMACAddress VMX option
to false in case the MAC address doesn't fall into any predefined range.

* docs/drvesx.html.in: update website accordingly
* src/esx/esx_driver.c: set the auto generation prefix to 00:0c:29
* src/esx/esx_vmx.c: fix MAC address range handling and allow arbitrary MAC
  addresses
