There is no 1:1 mapping between ports and redirected devices and
qemu and spicy client couldn't decide into which usbredir ports
the client can 'plug' redirected devices. So it make sense to apply
all of filter rules global to all existing usb redirection devices.

-1 can be used to allow any value for a field. Except allow attribute

After discussion with DB we decided to rename the new iolimit
element as it creates the impression it would be there to
limit (i.e. throttle) I/O instead of specifying immutable
characteristics of a block device.
This is also backed by the fact that the term I/O Limits has
vanished from newer storage admin documentation.

virDomainVcpuPinAdd does a realloc on vcpupin_list if the new vcpu pin
definition doesn't fit into the array. The list is an array of pointers
but the function definition didn't support returning the changed pointer
to the caller if it was realloced. This caused segfaults if realloc
would change the base pointer.
The name 'virDomainDiskSnapshot' didn't fit in with our normal
conventions of using a prefix hinting that it is related to a
virDomainSnapshotPtr. Also, a future patch will reuse the

The following config elements now support a <vlan> subelements:
within a domain: <interface>, and the <actual> subelement of <interface>
within a network: the toplevel, as well as any <portgroup>
Each vlan element must have one or more <tag id='n'/> subelements. If
there is more than one tag, it is assumed that vlan trunking is being
requested. If trunking is required with only a single tag, the
attribute "trunk='yes'" should be added to the toplevel <vlan>
element.
Some examples:
<interface type='hostdev'/>
<vlan>
<tag id='42'/>
</vlan>
<mac address='52:54:00:12:34:56'/>
...
</interface>
<network>
<name>vlan-net</name>
<vlan trunk='yes'>
<tag id='30'/>
</vlan>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'/>
</network>
<interface type='network'/>
<source network='vlan-net'/>
...
</interface>
<network>
<name>trunk-vlan</name>
<vlan>
<tag id='42'/>
<tag id='43'/>
</vlan>
...
</network>
<network>
<name>multi</name>
...
<portgroup name='production'/>
<vlan>
<tag id='42'/>
</vlan>
</portgroup>
<portgroup name='test'/>
<vlan>
<tag id='666'/>
</vlan>
</portgroup>
</network>
<interface type='network'/>
<source network='multi' portgroup='test'/>
...
</interface>
IMPORTANT NOTE: As of this patch there is no backend support for the
vlan element for *any* network device type. When support is added in
later patches, it will only be for those select network types that
support setting up a vlan on the host side, without the guest's
involvement. (For example, it will be possible to configure a vlan for
a guest connected to an openvswitch bridge, but it won't be possible
to do that for one that is connected to a standard Linux host bridge.)
virtPortProfile is now used by 4 different types of network devices
(NETWORK, BRIDGE, DIRECT, and HOSTDEV), and it's getting cumbersome to
replicate so much code in 4 different places just because each type
has the virtPortProfile in a slightly different place. This patch puts
a single virtPortProfile in a common place (outside the type-specific
union) in both virDomainNetDef and virDomainActualNetDef, and adjusts
the parse and format code (and the few other places where it is used)
accordingly.
Note that when a <virtualport> element is found, the parse functions
verify that the interface is of a type that supports one, otherwise an
error is generated (CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED in the case of <interface>, and
INTERNAL in the case of <actual>, since the contents of <actual> are
always generated by libvirt itself).

device to that guest.
Libvirt adds a USB controller to the guest even if the user does not
specify any in the XML. This is due to back-compat reasons.
To allow disabling USB for a guest this patch adds a new USB controller
type "none" that disables USB support for the guest.

Until now, it was possible to crash libvirtd when defining domain with
channel device with missing source element.
When creating new virDomainChrDef, target.port is set to -1, but
unfortunately it is an union with addresses that virDomainChrDefFree
tries to free in case the deviceType is channel. Having the port set
to -1 is intended, however the cleanest way to get around the problems
with the crash seems to be renumbering the VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_CHANNEL_
target types to cover new NONE type (with value 0) being the default
(no target type yet).
Now that domain listing is a thin wrapper around child listing,

Now that I am about to add more complexity to snapshot listing, it
makes sense to avoid code duplication and special casing for domain
listing (all snapshots) vs. snapshot listing (descendants); adding
a metaroot reduces the number of code lines by having the domain
listing turn into a descendant listing of the metaroot.
Note that this has one minor pessimization - if we are going to list
ALL snapshots without filtering, then virHashForeach is more efficient
than recursing through the child relationships; restoring that minor
optimization will occur in the next patch.

This patch stores existence of the image in the object. At start of the
daemon the state is checked and then updated in key moments in domain
lifecycle.
The virDomainDeviceInfoIsSet API was only checking if an
address or alias was set in the struct. Thus if only a
rom bar setting / filename, boot index, or USB master
value was set, they could be accidentally dropped when
formatting XML
<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).
Though numad will manage the memory allocation of task dynamically,
it wants management application (libvirt) to pre-set the memory
policy according to the advisory nodeset returned from querying numad,
(just like pre-bind CPU nodeset for domain process), and thus the
performance could benefit much more from it.
This patch introduces new XML tag 'placement', value 'auto' indicates
whether to set the memory policy with the advisory nodeset from numad,
and its value defaults to the value of <vcpu> placement, or 'static'
if 'nodeset' is specified. Example of the new XML tag's usage:
<numatune>
<memory placement='auto' mode='interleave'/>
</numatune>
Just like what current "numatune" does, the 'auto' numa memory policy
setting uses libnuma's API too.
If <vcpu> "placement" is "auto", and <numatune> is not specified
explicitly, a default <numatume> will be added with "placement"
set as "auto", and "mode" set as "strict".
The following XML can now fully drive numad:
1) <vcpu> placement is 'auto', no <numatune> is specified.
<vcpu placement='auto'>10</vcpu>
2) <vcpu> placement is 'auto', no 'placement' is specified for
<numatune>.
<vcpu placement='auto'>10</vcpu>
<numatune>
<memory mode='interleave'/>
</numatune>
And it's also able to control the CPU placement and memory policy
independently. e.g.
1) <vcpu> placement is 'auto', and <numatune> placement is 'static'
<vcpu placement='auto'>10</vcpu>
<numatune>
<memory mode='strict' nodeset='0-10,^7'/>
</numatune>
2) <vcpu> placement is 'static', and <numatune> placement is 'auto'
<vcpu placement='static' cpuset='0-24,^12'>10</vcpu>
<numatune>
<memory mode='interleave' placement='auto'/>
</numatume>
A follow up patch will change the XML formatting codes to always output
'placement' for <vcpu>, even it's 'static'.
qemu's behavior in this case is to change the spice server behavior to
require secure connection to any channel not otherwise specified as
being in plaintext mode. libvirt doesn't currently allow requesting this
(via plaintext-channel=<channel name>).

In order to track a block copy job across libvirtd restarts, we
need to save internal XML that tracks the name of the file
holding the mirror. Displaying this name in dumpxml might also
be useful to the user, even if we don't yet have a way to (re-)
start a domain with mirroring enabled up front. This is done
with a new <mirror> sub-element to <disk>, as in:
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/original.img'/>
<mirror file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/copy.img' format='qcow2' ready='yes'/>
...
</disk>
For now, the element is output-only, in live domains; it is ignored
when defining a domain or hot-plugging a disk (since those contexts
use VIR_DOMAIN_XML_INACTIVE in parsing). The 'ready' attribute appears
when libvirt knows that the job has changed from the initial pulling
phase over to the mirroring phase, although absence of the attribute
is not a sure indicator of the current phase. If we come up with a way
to make qemu start with mirroring enabled, we can relax the xml
restriction, and allow <mirror> (but not attribute 'ready') on input.
Testing active-only XML meant tweaking the testsuite slightly, but it
was worth it.

Since Xen 3.1 the clock=variable semantic is supported. In addition to
qemu/kvm Xen also knows about a variant where the offset is relative to
'localtime' instead of 'utc'.
Extends the libvirt structure with a flag 'basis' to specify, if the
offset is relative to 'localtime' or 'utc'.
Extends the libvirt structure with a flag 'reset' to force the reset
behaviour of 'localtime' and 'utc'; this is needed for backward
compatibility with previous versions of libvirt, since they report
incorrect XML.

numad is an user-level daemon that monitors NUMA topology and
processes resource consumption to facilitate good NUMA resource
alignment of applications/virtual machines to improve performance
and minimize cost of remote memory latencies. It provides a
pre-placement advisory interface, so significant processes can
be pre-bound to nodes with sufficient available resources.
More details: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/numad
"numad -w ncpus:memory_amount" is the advisory interface numad
provides currently.
This patch add the support by introducing a new XML attribute
for <vcpu>. e.g.
<vcpu placement="auto">4</vcpu>
<vcpu placement="static" cpuset="1-10^6">4</vcpu>
The returned advisory nodeset from numad will be printed
in domain's dumped XML. e.g.
<vcpu placement="auto" cpuset="1-10^6">4</vcpu>
If placement is "auto", the number of vcpus and the current
memory amount specified in domain XML will be used for numad
command line (numad uses MB for memory amount):
numad -w $num_of_vcpus:$current_memory_amount / 1024
The advisory nodeset returned from numad will be used to set
domain process CPU affinity then. (e.g. qemuProcessInitCpuAffinity).
If the user specifies both CPU affinity policy (e.g.
(<vcpu cpuset="1-10,^7,^8">4</vcpu>) and placement == "auto"
the specified CPU affinity will be overridden.
Only QEMU/KVM drivers support it now.
See docs update in patch for more details.
Even though we say in documentation setting (tls-)port to -1 is legacy
compat style for enabling autoport, we're roughly doing this for VNC.
However, in case of SPICE auto enable autoport iff both port & tlsPort
are equal -1 as documentation says autoport plays with both.
There are several functions in domain_conf.c that remove a device
object from the domain's list of that object type, but don't free the
object or return it to the caller to free. In many cases this isn't a
problem because the caller already had a pointer to the object and
frees it afterward, but in several cases the removed object was just
left floating around with no references to it.
In particular, the function qemuDomainDetachDeviceConfig() calls
functions to locate and remove net (virDomainNetRemoveByMac), disk
(virDomainDiskRemoveByName()), and lease (virDomainLeaseRemove())
devices, but neither it nor its caller qemuDomainModifyDeviceConfig()
ever obtain a pointer to the device being removed, much less free it.
This patch modifies the following "remove" functions to return a
pointer to the device object being removed from the domain device
arrays, to give the caller the option of freeing the device object
using that pointer if needed. In places where the object was
previously leaked, it is now freed:
virDomainDiskRemove
virDomainDiskRemoveByName
virDomainNetRemove
virDomainNetRemoveByMac
virDomainHostdevRemove
virDomainLeaseRemove
virDomainLeaseRemoveAt
The functions that had been leaking:
libxlDomainDetachConfig - leaked a virDomainDiskDef
qemuDomainDetachDeviceConfig - could leak a virDomainDiskDef,
a virDomainNetDef, or a
virDomainLeaseDef
qemuDomainDetachLease - leaked a virDomainLeaseDef
Some members are generated during XML parse (e.g. MAC address of
an interface); However, with current implementation, if we
are plugging a device both to persistent and live config,
we parse given XML twice: first time for live, second for config.
This is wrong then as the second time we are not guaranteed
to generate same values as we did for the first time.
To prevent that we need to create a copy of DeviceDefPtr;
This is done through format/parse process instead of writing
functions for deep copy as it is easier to maintain:
adding new field to any virDomain*DefPtr doesn't require change
of copying function.
Using 'unsigned long' for memory values is risky on 32-bit platforms,
as a PAE guest can have more than 4GiB memory. Our API is
(unfortunately) locked at 'unsigned long' and a scale of 1024, but
the rest of our system should consistently use 64-bit values,
especially since the previous patch centralized overflow checking.

Make it obvious to 'dumpxml' readers what unit we are using,
since our default of KiB for memory (1024) differs from qemu's

This is the new interface type that sets up an SR-IOV PCI network
device to be assigned to the guest with PCI passthrough after
initializing some network device-specific things from the config
(e.g. MAC address, virtualport profile parameters). Here is an example
of the syntax:
<interface type='hostdev' managed='yes'>
<source>
<address type='pci' domain='0' bus='0' slot='4' function='3'/>
</source>
<mac address='00:11:22:33:44:55'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0' bus='0' slot='7' function='0'/>
</interface>
This would assign the PCI card from bus 0 slot 4 function 3 on the
host, to bus 0 slot 7 function 0 on the guest, but would first set the
MAC address of the card to 00:11:22:33:44:55.
NB: The parser and formatter don't care if the PCI card being
specified is a standard single function network adapter, or a virtual
function (VF) of an SR-IOV capable network adapter, but the upcoming
code that implements the back end of this config will work *only* with
SR-IOV VFs. This is because modifying the mac address of a standard
network adapter prior to assigning it to a guest is pointless - part
of the device reset that occurs during that process will reset the MAC
address to the value programmed into the card's firmware.
Although it's not supported by any of libvirt's hypervisor drivers,
usb network hostdevs are also supported in the parser and formatter
for completeness and consistency. <source> syntax is identical to that
for plain <hostdev> devices, except that the <address> element should
have "type='usb'" added if bus/device are specified:
<interface type='hostdev'>
<source>
<address type='usb' bus='0' device='4'/>
</source>
<mac address='00:11:22:33:44:55'/>
</interface>
If the vendor/product form of usb specification is used, type='usb'
is implied:
<interface type='hostdev'>
<source>
<vendor id='0x0012'/>
<product id='0x24dd'/>
</source>
<mac address='00:11:22:33:44:55'/>
</interface>
Again, the upcoming patch to fill in the backend of this functionality
will log an error and fail with "Unsupported Config" if you actually
try to assign a USB network adapter to a guest using <interface
type='hostdev'> - just use a standard <hostdev> entry in that case
(and also for single-port PCI adapters).
Three new functions useful in other files:
virDomainHostdevInsert:
Add a new hostdev at the end of the array. This would more sensibly be
called virDomainHostdevAppend, but the existing functions for other
types of devices are called Insert.
virDomainHostdevRemove:
Eliminates one entry from the hostdevs array, but doesn't free it;
patterned after the code at the end of the two
qemuDomainDetachHostXXXDevice functions (and also other pre-existing
virDomainXXXRemove functions for other device types).
virDomainHostdevFind:
This function is patterned from the search loops at the top of
qemuDomainDetachHostPciDevice and qemuDomainDetachHostUsbDevice, and
will be used to re-factor those (and other detach-related) functions.
To shorten some new code that accesses the many fields within the
subsys struct of a hostdev, create a separate toplevel, typedefed
virDomainHostdevSubsys struct so that we can define temporary pointers
to the subsys part.
The parent can be any type of device. It defaults to type=none, and a
NULL pointer. The intent is that if a hostdevdef is contained in the
def for a higher level device (e.g. virDomainNetDef), hostdev->parent
will point to the higher level device, and type will be set to that
type of device. This way, during attach and detach of the device,
parent can be checked, and appropriate callouts made to do higher
level device initialization (e.g. setting MAC address).
Also, although these hostdevs with parents will be added to a domain's
hostdevs list, they will be treated slightly differently when
traversing the list, e.g. virDomainHostdefDefFree for a hostdev that
has a parent doesn't need to be called (and will be a NOP); it will
simply be removed from the list (since the parent device object is in
its own type-specific list, and will be freed from there).
In order to allow for a virDomainHostdevDef that uses the
virDomainDeviceInfo of a "higher level" device (such as a
virDomainNetDef), this patch changes the virDomainDeviceInfo in the
HostdevDef into a virDomainDeviceInfoPtr. Rather than adding checks
all over the code to check for a null info, we just guarantee that it
is always valid. The new function virDomainHostdevDefAlloc() allocates
a virDomainDeviceInfo and plugs it in, and virDomainHostdevDefFree()
makes sure it is freed.
There were 4 places allocating virDomainHostdevDefs, all of them
parsers of one sort or another, and those have all had their
VIR_ALLOC(hostdev) changed to virDomainHostdevDefAlloc(). Other than
that, and the new functions, all the rest of the changes are just
mechanical removals of "&" or changing "." to "->".
There will be cases where the iterator callback will need to know the
type of the device whose info is being operated on, and possibly even
need to use some of the device's config. This patch adds a
virDomainDeviceDefPtr to the args of every callback, and fills it in
appropriately as the devices are iterated through.
This patch is only code movement + adding some forward definitions of
typedefs.
virDomainHostdevDef (not just a pointer to it, but an actual object)
will be needed in virDomainNetDef and virDomainActualNetDef, so it
must be relocated earlier in the file.
Likewise, virDomainDeviceDef will be needed in virDomainHostdevDef, so
it must be moved up even earlier. This, in turn, creates a forward
reference problem, but fortunately only with pointers to other device
types, so their typedefs can be moved up in the file, eliminating the
problem.
Not all device types were represented in virDomainDeviceType, so some
types of devices couldn't be represented in a virDomainDeviceDef
(which requires a different type of pointer in the union for each
different kind of device).
Since serial, parallel, channel, and console devices are all
virDomainChrDef, and the virDomainDeviceType is never used to produce
a string from the type (and only used in the other direction
internally to code, never to produce XML), I only added one "CHR"
type, which is associated with "virDomainChrDefPtr chr" in the union.
No thanks to 64-bit windows, with 64-bit pid_t, we have to avoid
constructs like 'int pid'. Our API in libvirt-qemu cannot be
changed without breaking ABI; but then again, libvirt-qemu can
only be used on systems that support UNIX sockets, which rules
out Windows (even if qemu could be compiled there) - so for all
points on the call chain that interact with this API decision,
we require a different variable name to make it clear that we
audited the use for safety.
Adding a syntax-check rule only solves half the battle; anywhere
that uses printf on a pid_t still needs to be converted, but that
will be a separate patch.

This patch allows libvirt to add interfaces to already
existing Open vSwitch bridges. The following syntax in
domain XML file can be used:
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='52:54:00:d0:3f:f2'/>
<source bridge='ovsbr'/>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'>
<parameters interfaceid='921a80cd-e6de-5a2e-db9c-ab27f15a6e1d'/>
</virtualport>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
or if libvirt should auto-generate the interfaceid use
following syntax:
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='52:54:00:d0:3f:f2'/>
<source bridge='ovsbr'/>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'>
</virtualport>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
</interface>
It is also possible to pass an optional profileid. To do that
use following syntax:
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='ovsbr'/>
<mac address='00:55:1a:65:a2:8d'/>
<virtualport type='openvswitch'>
<parameters interfaceid='921a80cd-e6de-5a2e-db9c-ab27f15a6e1d'
profileid='test-profile'/>
</virtualport>
</interface>
To create Open vSwitch bridge install Open vSwitch and
run the following command:
ovs-vsctl add-br ovsbr
This eliminates the warning message reported in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=624447
It was caused by a failure to open an image file that is not
accessible by root (the uid libvirtd is running as) because it's on a
root-squash NFS share, owned by a different user, with permissions of
660 (or maybe 600).
The solution is to use virFileOpenAs() rather than open(). The
codepath that generates the error is during qemuSetupDiskCGroup(), but
the actual open() is in a lower-level generic function called from
many places (virDomainDiskDefForeachPath), so some other pieces of the
code were touched just to add dummy (or possibly useful) uid and gid
arguments.
Eliminating this warning message has the nice side effect that the
requested operation may even succeed (which in this case isn't
necessary, but shouldn't hurt anything either).
Curently security labels can be of type 'dynamic' or 'static'.
If no security label is given, then 'dynamic' is assumed. The
current code takes advantage of this default, and avoids even
saving <seclabel> elements with type='dynamic' to disk. This
means if you temporarily change security driver, the guests
can all still start.
With the introduction of sVirt to LXC though, there needs to be
a new default of 'none' to allow unconfined LXC containers.
This patch introduces two new security label types
- default: the host configuration decides whether to run the
guest with type 'none' or 'dynamic' at guest start
- none: the guest will run unconfined by security policy
The 'none' label type will obviously be undesirable for some
deployments, so a new qemu.conf option allows a host admin to
mandate confined guests. It is also possible to turn off default
confinement
security_default_confined = 1|0 (default == 1)
security_require_confined = 1|0 (default == 0)
* src/conf/domain_conf.c, src/conf/domain_conf.h: Add new

This re-introduces parsing & formatting for per device seclabels.
There is a new virDomainDeviceSeclabelPtr struct and corresponding
APIs for parsing/formatting.

This patch adds a new attribute "rawio" to the "disk" element
of domain XML. Valid values of "rawio" attribute are "yes"
and "no".
rawio='yes' indicates the disk is desirous of CAP_SYS_RAWIO.
If you specify the following XML:
<disk type='block' device='lun' rawio='yes'>
...
</disk>
the domain will be granted CAP_SYS_RAWIO.
(of course, the domain have to be executed with root privilege)
NOTE:
- "rawio" attribute is only valid when device='lun'
- At the moment, any other disks you won't use rawio can use rawio.

This patch addresses: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=781562
Along with the "rombar" option that controls whether or not a boot rom
is made visible to the guest, qemu also has a "romfile" option that
allows specifying a binary file to present as the ROM BIOS of any
emulated or passthrough PCI device. This patch adds support for
specifying romfile to both passthrough PCI devices, and emulated
network devices that attach to the guest's PCI bus (just about
everything other than ne2k_isa).
One example of the usefulness of this option is described in the
bugzilla report: 82576 sriov network adapters don't provide a ROM BIOS
for the cards virtual functions (VF), but an image of such a ROM is
available, and with this ROM visible to the guest, it can PXE boot.
In libvirt's xml, the new option is configured like this:
<hostdev>
...
<rom file='/etc/fake/boot.bin'/>
...
</hostdev
(similarly for <interface>).
To help consolidate the commonality between virDomainHostdevDef and
virDomainNetDef into as few members as possible (and because I
think it makes sense), this patch moves the rombar and bootIndex
members into the "info" member that is common to both (and to all the
other structs that use them).
It's a bit problematic that this gives rombar and bootIndex to many
device types that don't use them, but this is already the case for the
master and mastertype members of virDomainDeviceInfo, and is properly
commented as such in the definition.
Note that this opens the door to supporting rombar for other devices
that are attached to the guest PCI bus - virtio-blk-pci,
virtio-net-pci, various other network adapters - which which have that
capability in qemu, but previously had no support in libvirt.
Add kvmclock timer to documentation, schema and parsers. Keep the

There are several reasons for doing this:
- the CPU specification is out of libvirt's control so we cannot
guarantee stable guest ABI
- not every feature of a CPU may actually work as expected when
advertised directly to a guest
- migration between two machines with exactly the same CPU may work but
no guarantees can be made
- this mode is not supported and its use is at one's own risk

The new introduced optional attribute "copy_on_read</code> controls
whether to copy read backing file into the image file. The value can
be either "on" or "off". Copy-on-read avoids accessing the same backing
file sectors repeatedly and is useful when the backing file is over a
slow network. By default copy-on-read is off.
In the past, generic SCSI commands issued from a guest to a virtio
disk were always passed through to the underlying disk by qemu, and
the kernel would also pass them on.
As a result of CVE-2011-4127 (see:
http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2011/q4/536), qemu now honors its
scsi=on|off device option for virtio-blk-pci (which enables/disables
passthrough of generic SCSI commands), and the kernel will only allow
the commands for physical devices (not for partitions or logical
volumes). The default behavior of qemu is still to allow sending
generic SCSI commands to physical disks that are presented to a guest
as virtio-blk-pci devices, but libvirt prefers to disable those
commands in the standard virtio block devices, enabling it only when
specifically requested (hopefully indicating that the requester
understands what they're asking for). For this purpose, a new libvirt
disk device type (device='lun') has been created.
device='lun' is identical to the default device='disk', except that:
1) It is only allowed if bus='virtio', type='block', and the qemu
version is "new enough" to support it ("new enough" == qemu 0.11 or
better), otherwise the domain will fail to start and a
CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED error will be logged).
2) The option "scsi=on" will be added to the -device arg to allow
SG_IO commands (if device !='lun', "scsi=off" will be added to the
-device arg so that SG_IO commands are specifically forbidden).
Guests which continue to use disk device='disk' (the default) will no
longer be able to use SG_IO commands on the disk; those that have
their disk device changed to device='lun' will still be able to use SG_IO
commands.
*docs/formatdomain.html.in - document the new device attribute value.

*tests/* - update the args of several existing tests to add scsi=off, and

*src/qemu/qemu_(command|driver|hotplug).c - treat
VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_DEVICE_LUN *almost* identically to

Note that no support for this new device value was added to any
hypervisor drivers other than qemu, because it's unclear what it might
mean (if anything) to those drivers.
