5bdcef13d1 libxl: drop support for Xen < 4.6
Currently the libxl driver claims support for Xen >= 4.4, but
Xen 4.4 and 4.5 are no longer supported upstream. Let's increase
the minimum supported Xen version to 4.6 and change the defined
LIBXL_API_VERSION to 0x040500, which is the API version defined
when Xen 4.6 was released.

Since Xen 4.6 contains a pkgconfig file, drop the now unused code
that falls back to using LIBVIRT_CHECK_LIB in the absence of
pkgconfig file. In addition, bumping the LIBXL_API_VERSION
required adjusting the calls to libxl_set_vcpuaffinity to account
for the extra parameter in the 0x040500 version of the API.

a8ea89d258 xen: encourage use of xen:///system URI as preferred format
Historically we have used a bare xen:/// URI for connecting to the
legacy Xen driver. The new libxl Xen driver follows the new practice
of allowing '/system' as a path, as well as bare '/' for compat with
the old Xen driver.

This documents xen:///system as the preferred format for Xen, leaving
xen:/// as an undocumented feature just for back-compat.

b1c81567c7 docs: switch to using HTML5 doctype declaration
The HTML5 doctype is simply

  <!DOCTYPE html>

no DTD is present because HTML5 is no longer defined as an
extension of SGML.

XSL has no way to natively output a doctype without a public
or system identifier, so we have to use an <xsl:text> hack
instead.

4e42ff6b7e docs: switch to using 'id' attribute instead of 'name' for links
The 'name' attribute on <a...> elements is deprecated in favour
of the 'id' attribute which is allowed on any element. HTML5
drops 'name' support entirely.

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.

dfa1e1dd53 Convert libxl driver to Xen 4.2
Based on a patch originally authored by Daniel De Graaf

  http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2012-05/msg00565.html

This patch converts the Xen libxl driver to support only Xen >= 4.2.
Support for Xen 4.1 libxl is dropped since that version of libxl is
designated 'technology preview' only and is incompatible with Xen 4.2
libxl.  Additionally, the default toolstack in Xen 4.1 is still xend,
for which libvirt has a stable, functional driver.

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
