Michal Privoznik 0ba3870406 API: Remove internal impl detail from VIR_DOMAIN_IOTHREAD_THREAD_POOL_{MIN,MAX} description
When introducing VIR_DOMAIN_IOTHREAD_THREAD_POOL_MIN and
VIR_DOMAIN_IOTHREAD_THREAD_POOL_MAX typed parameters, I've made a
shortcut. Since at the monitor level these two are set in two
separate calls and minimum has to be always smaller than maximum
(or equal to it), it may happen that one of the values we want to
set violates this restriction. So I've put a little note in the
public API description warning users about this.

However, the proper solution is to have a logic that checks the
current values and based on that set either minimum or maximum
value first. But until we get there, remove that note from the
public API before it gets released.

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.
