When the <gic/> element in not present in the domain XML, use the domain capabilities to figure out what GIC version is usable and choose that one automatically. This allows guests to be created on hardware that only supports GIC v3 without having to update virt-manager and similar tools. Keep using the default GIC version if the <gic/> element has been added to the domain XML but no version has been specified, as not to break existing guests.
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.
