f4bb7b4807 Introduce <readonly> for hostdev
Since it's generic enough to be used by other types in future, I
put it in <hostdev> as sub-element, though now it's only used by
scsi host device.

5c811dcec5 conf: Generic XMLs for scsi hostdev
An example of the scsi hostdev XML:

    <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi'>
      <source>
        <adapter name='scsi_host0'/>
        <address bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
      </source>
      <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='4' unit='8'/>
    </hostdev>

Controller is implicitly added for scsi hostdev, though the scsi
controller's model defaults to "lsilogic", which might be not what
the user wants (same problem exists for virtio-scsi disk). It's
the existing problem, will be addressed later.

The device address must be specified manually. Later patch will let
libvirt generate it automatically.

This only introduces the generic XMLs for scsi hostdev, later patches
will add other elements, e.g. <readonly>, <shareable>.

c4f63ef080 conf: formatter/parser/RNG/docs for hostdev <driver name='kvm|vfio'/>
A domain's <interface> or <hostdev>, as well as a <network>'s
<forward>, can now have an optional <driver name='kvm|vfio'/>
element. As of this patch, there is no functionality behind this new
knob - this patch adds support to the domain and network
formatter/parser, and to the RNG and documentation.

When the backend is added, legacy KVM PCI device assignment will
continue to be used when no driver name is specified (or if <driver
name='kvm'/> is specified), but if driver name is 'vfio', the new UEFI
Secure Boot compatible VFIO device assignment will be used.

Note that the parser doesn't automatically insert the current default
value of this setting. This is done on purpose because the two
possibilities are functionally equivalent from the guest's point of
view, and we want to be able to automatically start using vfio as the
default (even for existing domains) at some time in the future. This
is similar to what was done with the "vhost" driver option in
<interface>.

bf1888738b Add NVRAM device
For pSeries guest in QEMU, NVRAM is one kind of spapr-vio device.
Users are allowed to specify spapr-vio devices'address.
But NVRAM is not supported in libvirt. So this patch is to
add NVRAM device to allow users to specify its address.

In QEMU, NVRAM device's address is specified by
 "-global spapr-nvram.reg=xxxxx".

In libvirt, XML file is defined as the following:

  <nvram>
    <address type='spapr-vio' reg='0x3000'/>
  </nvram>

0f4f5cb26d rng: tighten up domain <controller> schema
The rng schema for <controller> had been non-specific about which
types of controllers allowed which models, and also allowed the
num_queues attribute (since that hasn't been released yet, should we
rename it to "numQueues"?) and <master> subelement to be included for
any controller type. In reality, half of the models are allowed only
for type='scsi', and the other half only for type='usb', num_queues is
allowed only for type='scsi', and <master> only for type='usb'.

This patch makes a separate <group> for type='scsi' and type='usb',
with each group allowing only the appropriate model values, and
allowing num_queue and <master> only when appropriate.

<interleave> also hadn't been specified, forcing a specific order of
subelements, which should never be done. (Note that the <interleave>
had to surround the main element attributes that are in the <group>
subelements, due to one of the <group>s containing a subelement).

09d2547f96 qemu: Allow the disk wwn to have "0x" prefix
The recent qemu requires "0x" prefix for the disk wwn, this patch
changes virValidateWWN to allow the prefix, and prepend "0x" if
it's not specified. E.g.

qemu-kvm: -device scsi-hd,bus=scsi0.0,channel=0,scsi-id=0,lun=0,\
drive=drive-scsi0-0-0-0,id=scsi0-0-0-0,wwn=6000c60016ea71ad:
Property 'scsi-hd.wwn' doesn't take value '6000c60016ea71ad'

Though it's a qemu regression, but it's nice to allow the prefix,
and doesn't hurt for us to always output "0x".

E.g.

<adapter type='fc_host' parent='scsi_host5' wwnn='20000000c9831b4b' wwpn='10000000c9831b4b'/>

Attribute 'type' can be either 'scsi_host' or 'fc_host', and defaults
to 'scsi_host' if attribute 'name' is specified. I.e. It's optional
for 'scsi_host' adapter, for back-compat reason. However, mandatory

There were unescaped minuses in regular expressions and we were
constraining int (which is by default in the range of [-2^31;2^31-1]
to maximum of 2^32.  But what we wanted was exactly an unsignedInt.

4932ef4502 rng: restrict passthrough names to known-good files
There is some controversy[1] on the qemu list on whether qemu should
have ever allowed arbitrary file name passthrough, or whether it
should be restricted to JUST /dev/random and /dev/hwrng.  It is
always easier to add support for additional filenames than it is
to remove support for something once released, so this patch
restricts libvirt 1.0.3 (where the virtio-random backend was first
supported) to just the two uncontroversial names, letting us defer
to a later date any decision on whether supporting arbitrary files
makes sense. Additionally, since qemu 1.4 does NOT support
/dev/fdset/nnn fd passthrough for the backend, limiting to just
two known names means that we don't get tempted to try fd
passthrough where it won't work.

0b73a763f3 use client id for IPv6 DHCP host definition
Originally, only a host name was used to associate a
DHCPv6 request with a specific IPv6 address.  Further testing
demonstrates that this is an unreliable method and, instead,
a client-id or DUID needs to be used.  According to DHCPv6
standards, this id can be a duid-LLT, duid-LL, or duid-UUID
even though dnsmasq will accept almost any text string.

Although validity checking of a specified string makes sure it is
hexadecimal notation with bytes separated by colons, there is no
rigorous check to make sure it meets the standard.

Documentation and schemas have been updated.

c1509ab47e qemu: escape ipv6 for rbd network disk hosts
Hosts for rbd are ceph monitor daemons. These have fixed IP addresses,
so they are often referenced by IP rather than hostname for
convenience, or to avoid relying on DNS. Using IPv4 addresses as the
host name works already, but IPv6 addresses require rbd-specific
escaping because the colon is used as an option separator in the
string passed to qemu.

Escape these colons, and enclose the IPv6 address in square brackets
so it is distinguished from the port, which is currently mandatory.

828820e2d3 schemas: Add schemas for more CPU topology information in the caps XML
This patch adds RNG schemas for adding more information in the topology
output of the NUMA section in the capabilities XML.

The added elements are designed to provide more information about the
placement and topology of the processors in the system to management
applications.

A demonstration of supported XML added by this patch:
<capabilities>
  <host>
    <topology>
      <cells num='3'>
        <cell id='0'>
          <cpus num='4'> <!-- this is node with Hyperthreading -->
            <cpu id='0' socket_id='0' core_id='0' siblings='0-1'/>
            <cpu id='1' socket_id='0' core_id='0' siblings='0-1'/>
            <cpu id='2' socket_id='0' core_id='1' siblings='2-3'/>
            <cpu id='3' socket_id='0' core_id='1' siblings='2-3'/>
          </cpus>
        </cell>
        <cell id='1'>
          <cpus num='4'> <!-- this is node with modules (Bulldozer) -->
            <cpu id='4' socket_id='0' core_id='2' siblings='4-5'/>
            <cpu id='5' socket_id='0' core_id='3' siblings='4-5'/>
            <cpu id='6' socket_id='0' core_id='4' siblings='6-7'/>
            <cpu id='7' socket_id='0' core_id='5' siblings='6-7'/>
          </cpus>
         </cell>
        <cell id='2'>
          <cpus num='4'> <!-- this is a normal multi-core node -->
            <cpu id='8' socket_id='1' core_id='0' siblings='8'/>
            <cpu id='9' socket_id='1' core_id='1' siblings='9'/>
            <cpu id='10' socket_id='1' core_id='2' siblings='10'/>
            <cpu id='11' socket_id='1' core_id='3' siblings='11'/>
          </cpus>

The socket_id field represents identification of the physical socket the
CPU is plugged in. This ID may not be identical to the physical socket
ID reported by the kernel.

The core_id identifies a core within a socket. Also this field may not
accurately represent physical ID's.

The core_id is guaranteed to be unique within a cell and a socket. There
may be duplicates between sockets. Only cores sharing core_id within one
cell and one socket can be considered as threads. Cores sharing core_id
within sparate cells are distinct cores.

The siblings field is a list of CPU id's the cpu id's the CPU is sibling
with - thus a thread. The list is in the cpuset format.
