This allows strings to be transported between client and server
in the context of name-type-value virTypedParameter functions.
For compatibility,
o new clients will not send strings to old servers, based on
a feature check
o new servers will not send strings to old clients without the
flag VIR_TYPED_PARAM_STRING_OKAY; this will be enforced at
the RPC layer in the next patch, so that drivers need not
worry about it in general. The one exception is that
virDomainGetSchedulerParameters lacks a flags argument, so
it must not return a string; drivers that forward that
function on to virDomainGetSchedulerParametersFlags will
have to pay attention to the flag.
o the flag VIR_TYPED_PARAM_STRING_OKAY is set automatically,
based on a feature check (so far, no driver implements it),
so clients do not have to worry about it
Future patches can then enable the feature on a per-driver basis.
This patch also ensures that drivers can blindly strdup() field
names (previously, a malicious client could stuff 80 non-NUL bytes
into field and cause a read overrun).

To support "managed" mode of host PCI device, we record the original
states (unbind_from_stub, remove_slot, and reprobe) so that could
reattach the device to host with original driver. But there is no XML
for theses attrs, and thus after daemon is restarted, we lose the
original states. It's easy to reproduce:
1) virsh start domain
2) virsh attach-device dom hostpci.xml (in 'managed' mode)
3) service libvirtd restart
4) virsh destroy domain
You will see the device won't be bound to the original driver
if there was one.
This patch is to solve the problem by introducing internal XML
(won't be dumped to user, only dumped to status XML). The XML is:
<origstates>
<unbind/>
<remove_slot/>
<reprobe/>
</origstates>
Which will be child node of <hostdev><source>...</souce></hostdev>.
(only for PCI device).
A new struct "virDomainHostdevOrigStates" is introduced for the XML,
and the according members are updated when preparing the PCI device.
And function "qemuUpdateActivePciHostdevs" is modified to honor
the original states. Use of qemuGetPciHostDeviceList is removed
in function "qemuUpdateActivePciHostdevs", and the "managed" value of
the device config is honored by the change. This fixes another problem
alongside:
qemuGetPciHostDeviceList set the device as "managed" force
regardless of whether the device is configured as "managed='yes'"
or not in XML, which is not right.

Every time we write XML into a file we call virEmitXMLWarning to write a
warning that the file is automatically generated. virXMLSaveFile
simplifies this into a single step and makes rewriting existing XML file
safe by using virFileRewrite internally.
When saving config files we just overwrite old content of the file. In
case something fails during that process (e.g. disk gets full) we lose
both old and new content. This patch makes the process more robust by
writing the new content into a separate file and only if that succeeds
the original file is atomically replaced with the new one.
If a disk source gets dropped because it is not accessible,
mgmt application might want to be informed about this. Therefore
we need to emit an event. The event presented in this patch
is however a bit superset of what written above. The reason is simple:
an intention to be easily expanded, e.g. on 'user ejected disk
in guest' events. Therefore, callback gets source string and disk alias
(which should be unique among a domain) and reason (an integer);
This attribute says what to do with cdrom (or floppy) if
the source is missing. It accepts:
- mandatory - fail if missing for any reason (the default)
- requisite - fail if missing on boot up, drop if missing on
migrate/restore/revert
- optional - drop if missing at any start attempt.
However, this patch introduces only XML part of this new
functionality.

When failing on starting a domain, it tries to reattach all the PCI
devices defined in the domain conf, regardless of whether the devices
are still used by other domain. This will cause the devices to be deleted
from the list qemu_driver->activePciHostdevs, thus the devices will be
thought as usable even if it's not true. And following commands
nodedev-{reattach,reset} will be successful.
How to reproduce:
1) Define two domains with same PCI device defined in the confs.
2) # virsh start domain1
3) # virsh start domain2
4) # virsh nodedev-reattach $pci_device
You will see the device will be reattached to host successfully.
As pciDeviceReattach just check if the device is still used by
other domain via checking if the device is in list driver->activePciHostdevs,
however, the device is deleted from the list by step 2).
This patch is to prohibit the bug by:
1) Prohibit a domain starting or device attachment right at
preparation period (qemuPrepareHostdevPCIDevices) if the
device is in list driver->activePciHostdevs, which means
it's used by other domain.
2) Introduces a new field for struct _pciDevice, (const char *used_by),
it will be set as the domain name at preparation period,
(qemuPrepareHostdevPCIDevices). Thus we can prohibit deleting
the device from driver->activePciHostdevs if it's still used by
other domain when stopping the domain process.

No one was using virDomainSnapshotHasChildren, but that was an
O(n) function. Exposing and tracking a bit more metadata for each
snapshot will allow the same query to be made with an O(1) query
of the member field. For single snapshot operations (create,
delete), callers can be trusted to maintain the metadata themselves,
but for reloading, we can't compute parents as we go since there
is no guarantee that parents were parsed before children, so we also
provide a function to refresh the relationships, and which can
be used to detect if the user has ignored our warnings and been
directly modifying files in /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/snapshot. This
patch only adds metadata; later patches will actually use it.
This layout intentionally hardcodes the size of each snapshot struct,
by tracking sibling pointers, rather than having to deal with the
headache of yet more memory management by directly sticking a
dynamically sized child[] on each parent.

When support for was added for PCI multifunction cards (in commit
9f8baf, first included in libvirt 0.9.3), it was done by always
turning on the multifunction bit for all PCI devices. Since that time
it has been realized that this is not an ideal solution, and that the
multifunction bit must be selectively turned on. For example, see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=728174
and the discussion before and after
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-September/msg01036.html
This patch modifies multifunction support so that the multifunction=on
option is only added to the qemu commandline for a device if its PCI
<address> definition has the attribute "multifunction='on'", e.g.:
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
slot='0x04' function='0x0' multifunction='on'/>
In practice, the multifunction bit should only be turned on if
function='0' AND other functions will be used in the same slot - it
usually isn't needed for functions 1-7 (although there are apparently
some exceptions, e.g. the Intel X53 according to the QEMU source
code), and should never be set if only function 0 will be used in the
slot. The test cases have been changed accordingly to illustrate.
With this patch in place, if a user attempts to assign multiple
functions in a slot without setting the multifunction bit for function
0, libvirt will issue an error when the domain is defined, and the
define operation will fail. In the future, we may decide to detect
this situation and automatically add multifunction=on to avoid the
error; even then it will still be useful to have a manual method of
turning on multifunction since, as stated above, there are some
devices that excpect it to be turned on for all functions in a slot.
A side effect of this patch is that attempts to use the same PCI
address for two different devices will now log an error (previously
this would cause the domain define operation to fail, but there would
be no log message generated). Because the function doing this log was
almost completely rewritten, I didn't think it worthwhile to make a
separate patch for that fix (the entire patch would immediately be
obsoleted).
This patch was made in response to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=738095
In short, qemu's default for the rombar setting (which makes the
firmware ROM of a PCI device visible/not on the guest) was previously
0 (not visible), but they recently changed the default to 1
(visible). Unfortunately, there are some PCI devices that fail in the
guest when rombar is 1, so the setting must be exposed in libvirt to
prevent a regression in behavior (it will still require explicitly
setting <rom bar='off'/> in the guest XML).
rombar is forced on/off by adding:
<rom bar='on|off'/>
inside a <hostdev> element that defines a PCI device. It is currently
ignored for all other types of devices.
At the moment there is no clean method to determine whether or not the
rombar option is supported by QEMU - this patch uses the advice of a
QEMU developer to assume support for qemu-0.12+. There is currently a
patch in the works to put this information in the output of "qemu-kvm
-device pci-assign,?", but of course if we switch to keying off that,
we would lose support for setting rombar on all the versions of qemu
between 0.12 and whatever version gets that patch.
Qemu sends STOP event as part of the shutdown process. Detect such STOP
event and consider shutdown to be reason of emitting such event. That's
the best we can do until qemu provides us the reason directly in STOP
event. This allows us to report shutdown reason for paused state so that
apps can detect domains that failed to finish the shutdown process
(e.g., because qemu is buggy and doesn't exit on SIGTERM or it is
blocked in flushing disk buffers).

I got confused when 'virsh domblkinfo dom disk' required the

This one's nasty. Ever since we fixed virHashForEach to prevent
nested hash iterations for safety reasons (commit fba550f6),
virDomainSnapshotDelete with VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_DELETE_CHILDREN
has been broken for qemu: it deletes children, while leaving
grandchildren intact but pointing to a no-longer-present parent.
But even before then, the code would often appear to succeed to
clean up grandchildren, but risked memory corruption if you have
a large and deep hierarchy of snapshots.
For acting on just children, a single virHashForEach is sufficient.
But for acting on an entire subtree, it requires iteration; and
since we declared recursion as invalid, we have to switch to a
while loop. Doing this correctly requires quite a bit of overhaul,
so I added a new helper function to isolate the algorithm from the
actions, so that callers do not have to reinvent the iteration.
Note that this _still_ does not handle CHILDREN correctly if one
of the children is the current snapshot; that will be next.

This API labels all sockets created until ClearSocketLabel is called in
a way that a vm can access them (i.e., they are labeled with svirt_t
based label in SELinux).
The APIs are designed to label a socket in a way that the libvirt daemon
itself is able to access it (i.e., in SELinux the label is virtd_t based
as opposed to svirt_* we use for labeling resources that need to be
accessed by a vm). The new name reflects this.
Often, we want to use XPath functions on the just-parsed document;
fold this into the parser function for convenience.

(virXMLParseStrHelper, virXMLParseFileHelper): Delete.
(virXMLParseCtxt, virXMLParseStringCtxt, virXMLParseFileCtxt): New

Get rid of the #if __linux__ check in virPidFileReadPathIfAlive that
was preventing a check of a symbolic link in /proc/<pid>/exe on
non-linux platforms against an expected executable. Replace
this with a run-time check testing whether the /proc/<pid>/exe is a
symbolic link and if so call the function doing the comparison
against the expected file the link is supposed to point to.
In some versions of qemu, both virtio-blk-pci and virtio-net-pci
devices can have an event_idx setting that determines some details of
event processing. When it is enabled, it "reduces the number of
interrupts and exits for the guest". qemu will automatically enable
this feature when it is available, but there may be cases where this
new feature could actually make performance worse (NB: no such case
has been found so far).
As a safety switch in case such a situation is encountered in the
field, this patch adds a new attribute "event_idx" to the <driver>
element of both disk and interface devices. event_idx can be set to
"on" (to force event_idx on in case qemu has it disabled by default)
or "off" (for force event_idx off). In the case that event_idx support
isn't present in qemu, the attribute is ignored (this on the advice of
the qemu developer).
docs/formatdomain.html.in: document the new flag (marking it as
"don't mess with this!"

In daemons using pidfiles to protect against concurrent
execution there is a possibility that a crash may leave a stale
pidfile on disk, which then prevents later restart of the daemon.
To avoid this problem, introduce a pair of APIs which make
use of virFileLock to ensure crash-safe & race condition-safe
pidfile acquisition & releae
* src/libvirt_private.syms, src/util/virpidfile.c,
src/util/virpidfile.h: Add virPidFileAcquire and virPidFileRelease
In some cases the caller of virPidFileRead might like extra checks
to determine whether the pid just read is really the one they are
expecting. This adds virPidFileReadIfAlive which will check whether
the pid is still alive with kill(0, -1), and (on linux only) will
look at /proc/$PID/path
* libvirt_private.syms, util/virpidfile.c, util/virpidfile.h: Add
virPidFileReadIfValid and virPidFileReadPathIfValid
* network/bridge_driver.c: Use new APIs to check PID validity
The functions for manipulating pidfiles are in util/util.{c,h}.
We will shortly be adding some further pidfile related functions.
To avoid further growing util.c, this moves the pidfile related
functions into a dedicated virpidfile.{c,h}. The functions are
also all renamed to have 'virPidFile' as their name prefix
* util/util.h, util/util.c: Remove all pidfile code
* util/virpidfile.c, util/virpidfile.h: Add new APIs for pidfile
handling.
* lxc/lxc_controller.c, lxc/lxc_driver.c, network/bridge_driver.c,
qemu/qemu_process.c: Add virpidfile.h include and adapt for API
renames
Add some simple wrappers around the fcntl() discretionary file
locking capability.
* src/util/util.c, src/util/util.h, src/libvirt_private.syms: Add
virFileLock and virFileUnlock APIs
Originally noticed by comparing the xml generated by virDomainSave
with the xml produced by reparsing and redumping that xml, but I
also did an audit of every last use of VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INACTIVE in
domain_conf.c to ensure that no other discrepancies exist.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c (virDomainDeviceInfoIsSet): Add
parameter, and update all callers. Make static.
(virDomainNetDefFormat): Skip generated ifname.
(virDomainDefFormatInternal): Skip default <seclabel>.
(virDomainChrSourceDefParseXML): Skip generated pty path, and add
parameter. Update callers.
* src/conf/domain_conf.h (virDomainDeviceInfoIsSet): Delete.
* src/libvirt_private.syms (domain_conf.h): Update.
Once it's plugged in, the <listen> element will be an optional
replacement for the "listen" attribute that graphics elements already
have. If the <listen> element is type='address', it will have an
attribute called 'address' which will contain an IP address or dns
name that the guest's display server should listen on. If, however,
type='network', the <listen> element should have an attribute called
'network' that will be set to the name of a network configuration to
get the IP address from.
* docs/schemas/domain.rng: updated to allow the <listen> element
* docs/formatdomain.html.in: document the <listen> element and its
attributes.
* src/conf/domain_conf.[hc]:
1) The domain parser, formatter, and data structure are modified to
support 0 or more <listen> subelements to each <graphics>
element. The old style "legacy" listen attribute is also still
accepted, and will be stored internally just as if it were a
separate <listen> element. On output (i.e. format), the address
attribute of the first <listen> element of type 'address' will be
duplicated in the legacy "listen" attribute of the <graphic>
element.
2) The "listenAddr" attribute has been removed from the unions in
virDomainGRaphicsDef for graphics types vnc, rdp, and spice.
This attribute is now in the <listen> subelement (aka
virDomainGraphicsListenDef)
3) Helper functions were written to provide simple access
(both Get and Set) to the listen elements and their attributes.
* src/libvirt_private.syms: export the listen helper functions
* src/qemu/qemu_command.c, src/qemu/qemu_hotplug.c,
src/qemu/qemu_migration.c, src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c,
src/vmx/vmx.c, src/xenxs/xen_sxpr.c, src/xenxs/xen_xm.c
Modify all these files to use the listen helper functions rather
than directly referencing the (now missing) listenAddr
attribute. There can be multiple <listen> elements to a single
<graphics>, but the drivers all currently only support one, so all
replacements of direct access with a helper function indicate index
"0".
* tests/* - only 3 of these are new files added explicitly to test the
new <listen> element. All the others have been modified to reflect
the fact that any legacy "listen" attributes passed in to the domain
parse will be saved in a <listen> element (i.e. one of the
virDomainGraphicsListenDefs), and during the domain format function,
both the <listen> element as well as the legacy attributes will be
output.
Every DomainNetDef has a bandwidth, as does every portgroup.
Whenever a DomainNetDef of type NETWORK is about to be used, a call is
made to networkAllocateActualDevice(). This function chooses the "best"
bandwidth object and places it in the DomainActualNetDef.
From that point on, whenever some code needs to use the bandwidth data
for the interface, it's retrieved with virDomainNetGetActualBandwidth(),
which will always return the "best" info as determined in the
previous step.
These functions parse given XML node and return pointer to the
output. Unknown elements are silently ignored. Attributes must
be integer and must fit in unsigned long long.
Free function frees elements of virBandwidth structure.
This function uses ioctl(SIOCGIFADDR), which limits it to returning
the first IPv4 address of an interface, but that's what we want right
now (the place we're going to use the address only accepts one).
The bind mount setup is about to get more complicated.
To avoid having to deal with several copies, pull it
out into a separate lxcContainerMountFSBind method.
Also pull out the iteration over container filesystems,
so that it will be easier to drop in support for non-bind
mount filesystems
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Pull bind mount code out into
lxcContainerMountFSBind
When an operation started by virDomainBlockPull completes (either with
success or with failure), raise an event to indicate the final status.
This API allow users to avoid polling on virDomainGetBlockJobInfo if
they would prefer to use an event mechanism.
* daemon/remote.c: Dispatch events to client
* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in: Define event ID and callback signature
* src/conf/domain_event.c, src/conf/domain_event.h,
src/libvirt_private.syms: Extend API to handle the new event
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Connect to the QEMU monitor event
for block_stream completion and emit a libvirt block pull event
* src/remote/remote_driver.c: Receive and dispatch events to application
* src/remote/remote_protocol.x: Wire protocol definition for the event
* src/remote_protocol-structs: structure definitions for protocol verification

from QEMU monitor
O_DIRECT has stringent requirements. Rather than make lots of changes
at each site that wants to use O_DIRECT, it is easier to offload
the work through a helper process that mirrors the I/O between a
pipe and the actual direct fd, so that the other end of the pipe
no longer has to worry about constraints.
Plus, if the kernel ever gains better posix_fadvise support, then we
only have to touch a single file to let all callers benefit from a
more efficient way to avoid file system caching.
* src/util/virfile.h (virFileDirectFdFlag, virFileDirectFdNew)
(virFileDirectFdClose, virFileDirectFdFree): New prototypes.
* src/util/virdirect.c: Implement new wrapper object.
* src/libvirt_private.syms (virfile.h): Export new symbols.
* cfg.mk (useless_free_options): Add to list.
* po/POTFILES.in: Add new translations.
The network XML is updated in the following ways:
1) The <forward> element can now contain a list of forward interfaces:
<forward .... >
<interface dev='eth10'/>
<interface dev='eth11'/>
<interface dev='eth12'/>
<interface dev='eth13'/>
</forward>
The first of these takes the place of the dev attribute that is
normally in <forward> - when defining a network you can specify
either one, and on output both will be present. If you specify
both on input, they must match.
2) In addition to forward modes of 'nat' and 'route', these new modes
are supported:
private, passthrough, vepa - when this network is referenced by a
domain's interface, it will have the same effect as if the
interface had been defined as type='direct', e.g.:
<interface type='direct'>
<source mode='${mode}' dev='${dev}>
...
</interface>
where ${mode} is one of the three new modes, and ${dev} is an interface
selected from the list given in <forward>.
bridge - if a <forward> dev (or multiple devs) is defined, and
forward mode is 'bridge' this is just like the modes 'private',
'passthrough', and 'vepa' above. If there is no forward dev
specified but a bridge name is given (e.g. "<bridge
name='br0'/>"), then guest interfaces using this network will use
libvirt's "host bridge" mode, equivalent to this:
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='${bridge-name}'/>
...
</interface>
3) A network can have multiple <portgroup> elements, which may be
selected by the guest interface definition (by adding
"portgroup='${name}'" in the <source> element along with the
network name). Currently a portgroup can only contain a
virtportprofile, but the intent is that other configuration items
may be put there int the future (e.g. bandwidth config). When
building a guest's interface, if the <interface> XML itself has no
virtportprofile, and if the requested network has a portgroup with
a name matching the name given in the <interface> (or if one of the
network's portgroups is marked with the "default='yes'" attribute),
the virtportprofile from that portgroup will be used by the
interface.
4) A network can have a virtportprofile defined at the top level,
which will be used by a guest interface when connecting in one of
the 'direct' modes if the guest interface XML itself hasn't
specified any virtportprofile, and if there are also no matching
portgroups on the network.
the domain XML <interface> element is updated in the following ways:
1) <virtualportprofile> can be specified when source type='network'
(previously it was only valid for source type='direct')
2) A new attribute "portgroup" has been added to the <source>
element. When source type='network' (the only time portgroup is
recognized), extra configuration information will be taken from the
<portgroup> element of the given name in the network definition.
3) Each virDomainNetDef now also potentially has a
virDomainActualNetDef which is a private object (never
exported/imported via the public API, and not defined in the RNG) that
is used to maintain information about the physical device that was
actually used for a NetDef of type VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_NETWORK.
The virDomainActualNetDef will only be parsed/formatted if the
parse/format function is called with the
VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INTERNAL_ACTUAL_NET flag set (which is only needed when
saving/loading a running domain's state info to the stateDir).
virtPortProfiles are currently only used in the domain XML, but will
soon also be used in the network XML. To prepare for that change, this
patch moves the structure definition into util/network.h and the parse
and format functions into util/network.c (I decided that this was a
better choice than macvtap.h/c for something that needed to always be
available on all platforms).
Add virtkey lib for usage-improvment and keycode translating.
Add 4 internal API for the aim
const char *virKeycodeSetTypeToString(int codeset);
int virKeycodeSetTypeFromString(const char *name);

* .gitignore: add generated virkeymaps.h
When using virCommandRunAsync and saving the pid for later, it
is useful to be able to reap that pid in the same way that it
would have been auto-reaped by virCommand if we had passed
NULL for the pid argument in the first place.
* src/util/command.c (virPidWait, virPidAbort): New functions,
created from...
(virCommandWait, virCommandAbort): ...bodies of these.
(includes): Drop duplicate <stdlib.h>. Ensure that our pid_t
assumptions hold.

* src/util/command.h (virPidWait, virPidAbort): New prototypes.
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Export them.
* docs/internals/command.html.in: Document them.
Getting metadata on storage allocates a memory (path) which need to
be freed after use otherwise it gets leaked. This means after use of
virStorageFileGetMetadataFromFD or virStorageFileGetMetadata one
must call virStorageFileFreeMetadata to free it. This function frees
structure internals and structure itself.
When passing through filesystems from the host to a guest, the
host filesystem passed must be audited
* src/conf/domain_audit.{c,h}: Add virDomainAuditFS
The LXC and UML drivers can both make use of auditing. Move
the qemu_audit.{c,h} files to src/conf/domain_audit.{c,h}
* src/conf/domain_audit.c: Rename from src/qemu/qemu_audit.c
* src/conf/domain_audit.h: Rename from src/qemu/qemu_audit.h

src/util/util.h: Add virFileReadPidPath
* src/qemu/qemu_domain.h: Add pidfile field

This option accepts 3 values:
-keep, to keep current client connected (Spice+VNC)
-disconnect, to disconnect client (Spice)
-fail, to fail setting password if there is a client connected (Spice)
The next patch wants to adjust an end pointer to trim trailing
spaces but without modifying the underlying string, but a more
generally useful ability to trim trailing spaces in place is
also worth providing.
* src/util/util.h (virTrimSpaces, virSkipSpacesBackwards): New
prototypes.
* src/util/util.c (virTrimSpaces, virSkipSpacesBackwards): New
functions.
* src/libvirt_private.syms (util.h): Export new functions.
Inspired by a patch by Minoru Usui.
Most clients of virSkipSpaces don't want to omit backslashes.
Also, open-coding the list of spaces is not as nice as using
c_isspace.
* src/util/util.c (virSkipSpaces): Use c_isspace.
(virSkipSpacesAndBackslash): New function.

We already have a public virDomainPinVcpu, which implies that
Pin and Vcpu are treated as separate words. Unreleased commit
e261987c introduced virDomainGetVcpupinInfo as the first public

In a second cleanup step this patch makes several interface functions from macvtap.c commonly available by moving them into interface.c and prefixing their names with 'iface'. Those functions taking Linux-specific structures as parameters are only visible on Linux.
ifaceRestoreMacAddress returns the return code from the ifaceSetMacAddr call and display an error message if setting the MAC address did not work. The caller is unchanged and still ignores the return code (which is ok).
In a first cleanup step, make nlComm from macvtap.c commonly available
for other code to use. Since nlComm uses Linux-specific structures as
parameters it's prototype is only visible on Linux.
For virtio disks and interfaces, qemu allows users to enable or disable
ioeventfd feature. This means, qemu can execute domain code, while
another thread waits for I/O event. Basically, in some cases it is win,
in some loss. This feature is available via 'ioeventfd' attribute in disk
and interface <driver> element. It accepts 'on' and 'off'. Leaving this
attribute out defaults to hypervisor decision.
The following patch addresses the problem that when a PASSTHROUGH
mode DIRECT NIC connection is made the MAC address of the NIC is
not automatically set and reset to the configured VM MAC and
back again.
The attached patch fixes this problem by setting and resetting the MAC
while remembering the previous setting while the VM is running.
This also works if libvirtd is restarted while the VM is running.
the patch passes make syntax-check
Since we virEventRegisterDefaultImpl is now a public API, callers need
a way to invoke the default registered Handle and Timeout functions. We
already have general functions for these internally, so promote
them to the public API.
v2:
Actually add APIs to libvirt.h
