ea4769a1b5 news: Make changes understandable for users
When reading release notes, patch summary is not always the best
description of what users can expect in new version.  I propose
changing it slightly so that it describes what exactly happens and
when.

However, we do not have to add every single code change to the news
file, that would be ridiculous and unreadable for users.  If the patch
subject needs changes like this one, I'm rather tempted to say that
such changes should not be in the news file at all.  So that would be
the other way how to fix this.

b101101d09 docs: make interface start mode element optional
This brings the libvirt version of this RNG file in line with the same
file in netcf (as soon as the corresponding patch there is ACKed and
pushed).

There's no reason to require it when defining an interface (the config
option it corresponds to is optional), and it isn't even output in the
status of an interface.

ec783d7c77 conf: Introduce new hostdev device type mdev
A mediated device will be identified by a UUID (with 'model' now being
a mandatory <hostdev> attribute to represent the mediated device API) of
the user pre-created mediated device. We also need to make sure that if
user explicitly provides a guest address for a mdev device, the address
type will be matching the device API supported on that specific mediated
device and error out with an incorrect XML message.

The resulting device XML:
<devices>
  <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='mdev' model='vfio-pci'>
    <source>
      <address uuid='c2177883-f1bb-47f0-914d-32a22e3a8804'>
    </source>
  </hostdev>

df769041c2 domain_capabilities: Don't report machine type for bhyve
For some drivers the domain's machine type makes no sense. They
just don't use it. A great example is bhyve driver. Therefore it
makes very less sense to report machine in domain capabilities
XML.

3c647ee4bb Switch to GSSAPI (kerberos) instead of the insecure DIGEST-MD5
RFC 6331 documents a number of serious security weaknesses in
the SASL DIGEST-MD5 mechanism. As such, libvirtd should not
by using it as a default mechanism. GSSAPI is the only other
viable SASL mechanism that can provide secure session encryption
so enable that by defalt as the replacement.

80af11d3dd conf: Introduce @access to <memory/>
Now that NVDIMM has found its way into libvirt, users might want
to fine tune some settings for each module separately. One such
setting is 'share=on|off' for the memory-backend-file object.
This setting - just like its name suggest already - enables
sharing the nvdimm module with other applications. Under the hood
it controls whether qemu mmaps() the file as MAP_PRIVATE or
MAP_SHARED.

Yet again, we have such config knob in domain XML, but it's just
an attribute to numa <cell/>. This does not give fine enough
tuning on per-memdevice basis so we need to have the attribute
for each device too.

b4e8a49f8d Introduce NVDIMM memory model
NVDIMM is new type of memory introduced into QEMU 2.6. The idea
is that we have a Non-Volatile memory module that keeps the data
persistent across domain reboots.

At the domain XML level, we already have some representation of
'dimm' modules. Long story short, NVDIMM will utilize the
existing <memory/> element that lives under <devices/> by adding
a new attribute 'nvdimm' to the existing @model and introduce a
new <path/> element for <source/> while reusing other fields. The
resulting XML would appear as:

    <memory model='nvdimm'>
      <source>
        <path>/tmp/nvdimm</path>
      </source>
      <target>
        <size unit='KiB'>523264</size>
        <node>0</node>
      </target>
      <address type='dimm' slot='0'/>
    </memory>

So far, this is just a XML parser/formatter extension. QEMU
driver implementation is in the next commit.
