This introduces support for the QEMU audio settings that are common to
all audio backends. These are expressed in the QAPI schema as settings
common to all backends, but in reality some backends ignore some of
them. For example, some backends are output only. The parser isn't
attempting to apply restrictions that QEMU itself doesn't apply.
<audio id='1' type='pulseaudio'>
<input mixingEngine='yes' fixedSettings='yes' voices='1' bufferLength='100'>
<settings frequency='44100' channels='2' format='s16'/>

<output mixingEngine='yes' fixedSettings='yes' voices='2' bufferLength='100'>
<settings frequency='22050' channels='4' format='f32'/>
</output>

The current <audio> element only allows an "OSS" audio backend, as this
is all that BHyve needed. This is now extended to cover most QEMU audio
backends. These backends all have a variety of attributes they support,
but this initial impl does the bare minimum, relying on built-in
defaults for everything. The only QEMU backend omitted is "dsound" since
the libvirt QEMU driver is not built on Windows platforms.
The SDL audio driver names are based on the SDL 2.0 drivers. It is not
intended to support SDL 1.2 drivers.

This patch adds delay time (steal time inside guest) to libvirt
domain per-vcpu stats. Delay time is an important performance metric.
It is a consequence of the overloaded CPU. Knowledge of the delay
time of a virtual machine helps to understand if it is affected and
estimate the impact.
As a result, it is possible to react exactly when needed and
rebalance the load between hosts. This is used by cloud providers
to provide quality of service, especially when the CPU is
oversubscribed.
It's more convenient to work with this metric in a context of a
libvirt domain. Any monitoring software may use this information.

The <graphics type="vnc" .... powerControl="yes"/> option instructs the
VNC server to enable an extension that lets the client perform a
graceful shutdown, reboot and hard reset.
This is enabled by default since it cannot be assumed that the VNC
client user has administrator rights over the guest OS. In the case
where the VNC user is a guest administrator though, it is reasonable
to allow direct power control host side too.

The <teaming> element in <interface> allows pairing two interfaces
together as a simple "failover bond" network device in a guest. One of
the devices is the "transient" interface - it will be preferred for
all network traffic when it is present, but may be removed when
necessary, in particular during migration, when traffic will instead
go through the other interface of the pair - the "persistent"
interface. As it happens, in the QEMU implementation of this teaming
pair (called "virtio failover" in QEMU) the transient interface is
always a host network device assigned to the guest using VFIO (aka
"hostdev"); the persistent interface is always an emulated virtio NIC.
When support was initially added for <teaming>, it was written to
require that the transient/hostdev device be defined using <interface
type='hostdev'>; this was done because the virtio failover
implementation in QEMU and the virtio guest driver demands that the
two interfaces in the pair have matching MAC addresses, and the only
way libvirt can guarantee the MAC address of a hostdev network device
is to use <interface type='hostdev'>, whose main purpose is to
configure the device's MAC address before handing the device to
QEMU. (note that <interface type='hostdev'> in turn requires that the
network device be an SRIOV VF (Virtual Function), as that is the only
type of network device whose MAC address we can set in a way that will
survive the device's driver init in the guest).
It has recently come up that some users are unable to use <teaming>
because they are running in a container environment where libvirt
doesn't have the necessary privileges or resources to set the VF's MAC
address (because setting the VF MAC is done via the same device's PF
(Physical Function), and the PF is not exposed to libvirt's container).
At the same time, these users *are* able to set the VF's MAC address
themselves in advance of staring up libvirt in the container. So they
could theoretically use the <teaming> feature if libvirt just skipped
the "setting the MAC address" part.
Fortunately, that is *exactly* the difference between <interface
type='hostdev'> (which must be a "hostdev VF") and <hostdev> (a "plain
hostdev" - it could be *any* PCI device; libvirt doesn't know what type
of PCI device it is, and doesn't care).
But what is still needed is for libvirt to provide a small bit of
information on the QEMU commandline argument for the hostdev, telling
QEMU that this device will be part of a team ("failover pair"), and
the id of the other device in the pair.
To make both of those goals simultaneously possible, this patch adds
support for the <teaming> element to plain <hostdev> - libvirt doesn't
try to set any MAC addresses, and QEMU gets the extra commandline
argument it needs)
(actually, this patch adds only the parsing/formatting of the
<teaming> element in <hostdev>. The next patch will actually wire that
into the qemu driver.)

When running on host with systemd we register VMs with machined.
In this case systemd creates the root VM cgroup for us. This has some
implications where one of them is that systemd owns all files inside
the root VM cgroup and we should not touch them.
We already use DBus calls for some of the APIs but for the remaining
ones we will continue accessing the files directly. Systemd doesn't
support threaded cgroups so we need to do this.
The reason why we don't use DBus for most of the APIs is that we already
have a code that works with files and we would have to check if systemd
supports each API.
This change introduces new topology on systemd hosts:
$ROOT
|
+- machine.slice
|
+- machine-qemu\x2d1\x2dvm1.scope
|
+- libvirt
|
+- emulator
+- vcpu0
+- vcpu0

For emulated guest this exposes the maximum featureset supported by

The virtio-pmem is a virtio variant of NVDIMM and just like
NVDIMM virtio-pmem also allows accessing host pages bypassing
guest page cache. The difference is that if a regular file is
used to back guest's NVDIMM (model='nvdimm') the persistence of
guest writes might not be guaranteed while with virtio-pmem it
is.
To express this new model at domain XML level, I've chosen the
following:
<memory model='virtio-pmem' access='shared'>
<source>
<path>/tmp/virtio_pmem</path>
</source>
<target>
<size unit='KiB'>524288</size>
</target>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/>
</memory>
Another difference between NVDIMM and virtio-pmem is that while
the former supports NUMA node locality the latter doesn't. And
also, the latter goes onto PCI bus and not into a DIMM module.
