Currently it's only possible to set this parameter during domain
creation via QEMU commandline passthrough feature.
With the new delay attribute it's also possible to set this
parameter if you want to attach a new NBD disk
using "virsh attach-device domain device.xml" e.g.:
<disk type='network' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source protocol='nbd' name='foo'>
<host name='example.org' port='6000'/>
<reconnect delay='10'/>

Introduce crypto device like:
<crypto model='virtio' type='qemu'>
<backend model='builtin' queues='1'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x0a' function='0x0'/>

<crypto model='virtio' type='qemu'>
<backend model='lkcf'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x0b' function='0x0'/>
</crypto>
Currently, crypto model supports virtio only, type supports qemu only
(vhost-user in the plan). For the qemu type, backend supports modle
builtin/lkcf, and the queues is optional.

- docs: formatdomain.rst
- schemas: domaincommon.rng
- conf: crypto related domain conf

This attribute was added to support setting the --interface option for
passt, but in a post-push/pre-9.0-release review, danpb pointed out
that it would be better to use the existing <source dev='xxx'/>
attribute to set --interface rather than creating a new attribute (in
the wrong place). So we remove backend/upstream, and change the passt
commandline creation to grab the name for --interface from source/dev.

This implements XML config to represent a subset of the features
supported by 'passt' (https://passt.top), which is an alternative
backend for emulated network devices that requires no elevated
privileges (similar to slirp, but "better").
Along with setting the backend to use passt (via <backend
type='passt'/> when the interface type='user'), we also support
passt's --log-file and --interface options (via the <backend>
subelement logFile and upstream attributes) and its --tcp-ports and
--udp-ports options (which selectively forward incoming connections to
the host on to the guest) via the new <portForward> subelement of
<interface>. Here is an example of the config for a network interface
that uses passt to connect:
<interface type='user'>
<mac address='52:54:00:a8:33:fc'/>
<ip address='192.168.221.122' family='ipv4'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<backend type='passt' logFile='/tmp/xyzzy.log' upstream='eth0'/>
<portForward address='10.0.0.1' proto='tcp' dev='eth0'>
<range start='2022' to='22'/>
<range start='5000' end='5099' to='1000'/>
<range start='5010' end='5029' exclude='yes'/>
</portForward>
<portForward proto='udp'>
<range start='10101'/>
</portForward>
</interface>
In this case:
* the guest will be offered address 192.168.221.122 for its interface
via DHCP
* the passt process will write all log messages to /tmp/xyzzy.log
* routes to the outside for the guest will be derived from the
addresses and routes associated with the host interface "eth0".
* incoming tcp port 2022 to the host will be forwarded to port 22
on the guest.
* incoming tcp ports 5000-5099 (with the exception of ports 5010-5029)
to the host will be forwarded to port 1000-1099 on the guest.
* incoming udp packets on port 10101 will be forwarded (unchanged) to
the guest.

Normally when an UEFI firmware is marked as read-only, an associated
NVRAM file will be created. Some builds of UEFI firmware, however, wish
to remain stateless and so will be read-only, but never have any NVRAM

is introduced on the <loader/> element.
There are rather a large number of permutations to consider.

Add the ability to configure a qemu-vdagent in guest domains. This
device is similar to the spice vdagent channel except that qemu handles
the spice-vdagent protocol messages itself rather than routing them over
a spice protocol channel.
The qemu-vdagent device has two notable configuration options which
determine whether qemu will handle particular vdagent features:
'clipboard' and 'mouse'.
The 'clipboard' option allows qemu to synchronize its internal clipboard
manager with the guest clipboard, which enables client<->guest clipboard
synchronization for non-spice guests such as vnc.
The 'mouse' option allows absolute mouse positioning to be sent over the
vdagent channel rather than using a usb or virtio tablet device.
Sample configuration:
<channel type='qemu-vdagent'>
<target type='virtio' name='com.redhat.spice.0'/>
<source>
<clipboard copypaste='yes'/>
