Let us fix the issues with zPCI address validation and auto-generation
on s390.
Currently, there are two issues with handling the ZPCI address
extension. Firstly, when the uid is to be auto-generated with a
specified fid, .i.e.:
...
<address type='pci'>
<zpci fid='0x0000001f'/>
</address>
...
we expect uid='0x0001' (or the next available uid for the domain).
However, we get a parsing error:
$ virsh define zpci.xml
error: XML error: Invalid PCI address uid='0x0000', must be > 0x0000
and <= 0xffff
Secondly, when the uid is specified explicitly with the invalid
numerical value '0x0000', we actually expect the parsing error above.
However, the domain is being defined and the uid value is silently
changed to a valid value.
The first issue is a bug and the second one is undesired behaviour, and
both issues are related to how we (in-band) signal invalid values for
uid and fid. So let's fix the XML parsing to do validation based on what
is actually specified in the XML.
The first issue is also related to the current code behaviour, which
is, if either uid or fid is specified by the user, it is incorrectly
assumed that both uid and fid are specified. This bug is fixed by
identifying when the user specified ZPCI address is incomplete and
auto-generating the missing ZPCI address.

==============================
Libvirt API for virtualization
==============================
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.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management
daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the
API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other
languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as
mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
