1d9ab0f04a qemu: Allow empty script path to <interface/>
Before 9c17d665fd (v1.3.2 - I know, right?) it was possible to
have the following interface configuration:

  <interface type='ethernet'/>
    <script path=''/>
  </interface>

This resulted in -netdev tap,script=,.. Fortunately, qemu helped
us to get away with this as it just ignored the empty script
path. However, after the commit mentioned above it's libvirtd
who is executing the script. Unfortunately without special
case-ing empty script path.

0d157b3fed disk: Fixup error handling path for devmapper when part_separator='yes'
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1346566

If libvirt_parthelper is erroneously told to append the partition
separator 'p' onto the generated output for a disk pool using device
mapper that has 'user_friendly_names' set to true, then the error
recovery path will fail to find volume resulting in the pool being
in an unusable state.

So, augment the documentation to provide the better hint that the
part_separator='yes' should be set when user_friendly_names are not
being used. Additionally, once we're in the error path where the
returned name doesn't match the expected partition name try to see
if the reason is because the 'p' was erroneosly added. If so alter
the about to be removed vol->target.path so that the DiskDeleteVol
code can find the partition that was created and remove it.

be36ea4b52 NEWS: Improve building pipeline
Currently, building the NEWS file involves using a XSLT stylesheet
to extract information from the same HTML file that's used on the
libvirt website.

The process works, but it's quite fiddly in that it requires the
source HTML to be formatted in a very precise way, and a single
missing newline can mess up the resulting plain text considerably.

Moreover, the XSLT stylesheet itself encodes a lot of the details
of converting to plain text in a way that's not necessarily easy
to understand, tweak or fix.

To improve the process, move all existing entries to a new XML
file that contains exactly the information we care about in a
simple structured format, and start generating both the HTML and
plain text versions of the release notes using XSLT stylesheets
that can now afford to be almost trivial.

bb74a7ffeb conf: Add more fchost search fields for storage pool vHBA creation
Add new fields to the fchost structure to allow creation of a vHBA via

2b13361bc7 nodedev: Add the ability to create vHBA by parent wwnn/wwpn or fabric_wwn
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1349696

When creating a vHBA, the process is to feed XML to nodeDeviceCreateXML
that lists the <parent> scsi_hostX to use to create the vHBA. However,
between reboots, it's possible that the <parent> changes its scsi_hostX
to scsi_hostY and saved XML to perform the creation will either fail or
create a vHBA using the wrong parent.

So add the ability to provide "wwnn" and "wwpn" or "fabric_wwn" to
the <parent> instead of a name of the scsi_hostN that is the parent.
The allowed XML will thus be:

  <parent>scsi_host3</parent>  (current)

or

  <parent wwnn='$WWNN' wwpn='$WWPN'/>

or

  <parent fabric_wwn='$WWNN'/>

Using the wwnn/wwpn or fabric_wwn ensures the same 'scsi_hostN' is
selected between hardware reconfigs or host reboots. The fabric_wwn
Using the wwnn/wwpn pair will provide the most specific search option,
while fabric_wwn will at least ensure usage of the same SAN, but maybe
not the same scsi_hostN.

This patch will add the new fields to the nodedev.rng for input purposes
only since the input XML is essentially thrown away, no need to Format
the values since they'd already be printed as part of the scsi_host
data block.

New API virNodeDeviceGetParentHostByWWNs will take the parent "wwnn" and
"wwpn" in order to search the list of devices for matching capability
data fields wwnn and wwpn.

New API virNodeDeviceGetParentHostByFabricWWN will take the parent "fabric_wwn"
in order to search the list of devices for matching capability data field
fabric_wwn.

78661cb1f4 conf: Display <physical> in output of voldef
Although the virStorageBackendUpdateVolTargetInfo will update the
target.physical value, there is no way to provide that information
via the virStorageGetVolInfo API since it only returns the capacity
and allocation of a volume. So as described in commit id '0282ca45',
it should be possible to generate an output only <physical> value
for that purpose.

This patch generates the <physical> value in the volume XML output
for the sole purpose of being able to view/see the value to allow
someone to parse the XML in order to obtain the value.

Update the documentation to describe the output only nature.

5a26d1ce12 Point to the new libvirt-go bindings
The github.com/rgbkrk/libvirt-go bindings were the most complete
bindings historically, but their API coverage stops at 1.2.4,
with exception of a couple of newer APIs.

The new bindings at http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt-go.git;a=log
how have (almost[1]) 100% API coverage all the way to 2.5.0. They also
expose the APIs in a way that allows for much stronger go type
checking by the compiler, and expose typed parameters as explicit
structs. Finally the bindings are able to conditionally compile against
any libvirt version 1.2.0 -> 2.5.0 without use of go build tags.

Change the docs to point to these new bindings, since they'll be
a better bet for users long term.

[1] virEvent & virStream callbacks are still TODO to be fixed
    real soon.

22f7ceb695 nss: Introduce libvirt-guest module
So far the NSS module looks up only hostnames as provided by
guests themselves. However, there are some cases where this is
not enough: e.g. when there's a fresh new guest being installed
(with some generic hostname) say from a live ISO image; or some
(older) systems don't advertise their hostname in DHCP
transactions at all.
In cases like that it would be helpful if we translate domain
name as seen by libvirt too so that users can:

  # virsh start $dom && ssh $dom

In order to achieve that new libvirt-guest module is introduced,
while older libvirt module maintains its current behaviour (that
is translating guest provided names into IP addresses).

ae5d30a0b3 conf: Wire up the vhost-scsi connection from/to XML
With the QEMU components in place, provide the XML parsing to
invoke that code when given the following XML snippet:

    <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi_host'>
      <source protocol='vhost' wwpn='naa.501234567890abcd'/>
    </hostdev>

An optional address element can be specified within the hostdev
(pick CCW or PCI as necessary):

    <address type='ccw' cssid='0xfe' ssid='0x0' devno='0x0625'/>
    <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/>

Add basic vhost-scsi tests which were cloned from hostdev-scsi-virtio-scsi
in both xml2argv and xml2xml. Added ones for both vhost-scsi-ccw and
vhost-scsi-pci since the syntaxes are slightly different between them.

Also adjusted the docs to describe the changes.
