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.

Daniel P. Berrange 097e07a63a Remote driver & daemon impl of new event API
This wires up the remote driver to handle the new events APIs.
The public API allows an application to request a callback filters
events to a specific domain object, and register multiple callbacks
for the same event type. On the wire there are two strategies for
this

 - Register multiple callbacks with the remote daemon, each
   with filtering as needed
 - Register only one callback per event type, with no filtering

Both approaches have potential inefficiency. In the first scheme,
the same event gets sent over the wire many times if multiple
callbacks are registered. With the second scheme, unneccessary
events get sent over the wire if a per-domain filter is set on
the client. The second scheme is far easier to implement though,
so this patch takes that approach.

* daemon/dispatch.h: Don't export remoteRelayDomainEvent since it
  is no longer needed for unregistering callbacks, instead the
  unique callback ID is used
* daemon/libvirtd.c, daemon/libvirtd.h: Track and unregister
  callbacks based on callback ID, instead of function pointer
* daemon/remote.c: Switch over to using virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny
  instead of legacy virConnectDomainEventRegister function. Refactor
  remoteDispatchDomainEventSend() to cope with arbitrary event types
* src/driver.h, src/driver.c: Move verify() call into source file
  instead of header, to avoid polluting the global namespace with
  the verify function name
* src/remote/remote_driver.c: Implement new APIs for event
  registration. Refactor processCallDispatchMessage() to cope
  with arbitrary incoming event types. Merge remoteDomainQueueEvent()
  into processCallDispatchMessage() to avoid duplication of code.
  Rename remoteDomainReadEvent() to remoteDomainReadEventLifecycle()
* src/remote/remote_protocol.x: Define wire format for the new
  virConnectDomainEventRegisterAny and virConnectDomainEventDeregisterAny
  functions

         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.
