Jonathon Jongsma 14026db9b0 nodedev: update mdevs from the mdevctl thread
Rather than directly executing mdevctl from the udev event thread when
we determine that we need to re-query, schedule the mdevctl thread to
run. This also helps to coalesce multiple back-to-back updates into a
single one when there are multiple updates in a row or at startup when a
host has a very large number of mdevs.

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.
