Daniel P. Berrange 0714b2ba4c Run QEMU guests as an unprivileged user
* configure.in: Add --with-qemu-user and --with-qemu-group args
* libvirt.spec.in: use 'qemu' for user/group for Fedora >= 12
* qemud/libvirtd_qemu.arg, qemud/test_libvirtd_qemu.aug,
  src/qemu.conf: Add 'user' and 'group' args for configuration
* src/Makefile.am: Create %localstatedir/cache/libvirt/qemu
* src/qemu_conf.c, src/qemu_conf.h: Load user/group from config
* src/qemu_driver.c: Change user ID/group ID when launching QEMU
  guests. Change user/group ownership on disks/usb/pci devs.
  Put memory dumps in %localstatedir/cache/libvirt/qemu
* src/util.c, src/util.h: Add convenient APIs for converting
  username/groupname to user ID / group ID

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
