There is plenty of distributions that haven't switched to systemd nor they force their users to (Gentoo, Alpine Linux to name a few). With the daemon split merged their only option is to still use the monolithic daemon which will go away eventually. Provide init scripts for these distros too. For now, I'm not introducing config files which would correspond to the init files except for libvirtd and virtproxyd init scripts where it might be desirable to tweak the command line of corresponding daemons.

Explanation about the how multi-version support
for VirtualBox libvirt driver is implemented.
Since VirtualBox adds multiple new features for each release, it is but
natural that the C API which VirtualBox exposes is volatile across
versions and thus needs a good mechanism to handle multiple versions
during runtime. The solution was something like this:
Firstly the file structure is as below:
vbox_CAPI_v2_2.h
vbox_XPCOMCGlue.h
vbox_XPCOMCGlue.c
These files are C API/glue code files directly taken from the
VirtualBox OSE source and is needed for C API to work as expected.
vbox_driver.h
vbox_driver.c
These files have the main logic for registering the virtualbox driver
with libvirt.
vbox_V2_2.c
The file which has version dependent changes and includes the template
file for given below for all of its functionality.
vbox_tmpl.c
The file contains all version specified codes. It implements the
vboxUniformedAPI for each vbox version.
vbox_common.c
The file implement the common driver, with the uniformed api which
defined in vbox_uniformed_api.h and implemented in vbox_tmpl.c
Now there would be a vbox_V*.c file (for eg: vbox_V2_2.c for V2.2) for
each major virtualbox version which would do some preprocessor magic
and include the template file (vbox_tmpl.c) in it for the functionality
it offers.
