ed769e1854 Remove probing of CPU models when launching QEMU guests
When launching a QEMU guest the binary is probed to discover
the list of supported CPU names. Remove this probing with a
simple lookup of CPU models in the qemuCapsPtr object. This
avoids another invocation of the QEMU binary during the
startup path.

As a nice benefit we can now remove all the nasty hacks from
the test suite which were done to avoid having to exec QEMU
on the test system. The building of the -cpu command line
can just rely on data we pre-populate in qemuCapsPtr.

d70f2e117a numad: Always output 'placement' of <vcpu>
<vcpu> is not an optional node. The value for its 'placement'
actually always defaults to 'static' in the underlying codes.
(Even no 'cpuset' and 'placement' is specified, the domain
process will be pinned to all the available pCPUs).

265457845f xml: output memory unit for clarity
Make it obvious to 'dumpxml' readers what unit we are using,
since our default of KiB for memory (1024) differs from qemu's
default of MiB; and differs from our use of bytes for storage.

Tests were updated via:

$ find tests/*data tests/*out -name '*.xml' | \
  xargs sed -i 's/<\(memory\|currentMemory\|hard_limit\|soft_limit\|min_guarantee\|swap_hard_limit\)>/<\1 unit='"'KiB'>/"
$ find tests/*data tests/*out -name '*.xml' | \
  xargs sed -i 's/<\(capacity\|allocation\|available\)>/<\1 unit='"'bytes'>/"

followed by a few fixes for the stragglers.

Note that with this patch, the RNG for <memory> still forbids
validation of anything except unit='KiB', since the code silently
ignores the attribute; a later patch will expand <memory> to allow
scaled input in the code and update the RNG to match.

4288b22fb2 conf: Introduce new attribute for device address format
* src/conf/domain_conf.h: Add new member "target" to struct
  _virDomainDeviceDriveAddress.

* src/conf/domain_conf.c: Parse and format "target"

* Lots of tests (.xml) in tests/domainsnapshotxml2xmlout,
  tests/qemuxml2argvdata, tests/qemuxml2xmloutdata, and
  tests/vmx2xmldata/ are modified for newly introduced
  attribute "target" for address of "drive" type.

42043afcdc domain: add implicit USB controller
Some tools, such as virt-manager, prefers having the default USB
controller explicit in the XML document. This patch makes sure there
is one. With this patch, it is now possible to switch from USB1 to
USB2 from the release 0.9.1 of virt-manager.

Fix tests to pass with this change.

f7dd3a4e62 Add support for cpu mode attribute
The mode can be either of "custom" (default), "host-model",
"host-passthrough". The semantics of each mode is described in the
following examples:

- guest CPU is a default model with specified topology:
    <cpu>
      <topology sockets='1' cores='2' threads='1'/>
    </cpu>

- guest CPU matches selected model:
    <cpu mode='custom' match='exact'>
      <model>core2duo</model>
    </cpu>

- guest CPU should be a copy of host CPU as advertised by capabilities
  XML (this is a short cut for manually copying host CPU specification
  from capabilities to domain XML):
    <cpu mode='host-model'/>

  In case a hypervisor does not support the exact host model, libvirt
  automatically falls back to a closest supported CPU model and
  removes/adds features to match host. This behavior can be disabled by
    <cpu mode='host-model'>
      <model fallback='forbid'/>
    </cpu>

- the same as previous returned by virDomainGetXMLDesc with
  VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU flag:
    <cpu mode='host-model' match='exact'>
      <model fallback='allow'>Penryn</model>       --+
      <vendor>Intel</vendor>                         |
      <topology sockets='2' cores='4' threads='1'/>  + copied from
      <feature policy='require' name='dca'/>         | capabilities XML
      <feature policy='require' name='xtpr'/>        |
      ...                                          --+
    </cpu>

- guest CPU should be exactly the same as host CPU even in the aspects
  libvirt doesn't model (such domain cannot be migrated unless both
  hosts contain exactly the same CPUs):
    <cpu mode='host-passthrough'/>

- the same as previous returned by virDomainGetXMLDesc with
  VIR_DOMAIN_XML_UPDATE_CPU flag:
    <cpu mode='host-passthrough' match='minimal'>
      <model>Penryn</model>                        --+ copied from caps
      <vendor>Intel</vendor>                         | XML but doesn't
      <topology sockets='2' cores='4' threads='1'/>  | describe all
      <feature policy='require' name='dca'/>         | aspects of the
      <feature policy='require' name='xtpr'/>        | actual guest CPU
      ...                                          --+
    </cpu>

a6f88cbd2d cpu: Optionally forbid fallback CPU models
In case a hypervisor doesn't support the exact CPU model requested by a
domain XML, we automatically fallback to a closest CPU model the
hypervisor supports (and make sure we add/remove any additional features
if needed). This patch adds 'fallback' attribute to model element, which
can be used to disable this automatic fallback.
