Martin Kletzander 2669b442f9 qemu: Forbid ib700 watchdogs for non-i440fx machine types
We can launch qemu with it, but it will not work since it's not even
probed by the kernel at the mapped address with different machine types
since they are expected to be connected to ISA and not even its newer
LPC counterpart found on q35.  And it does not exist on non-x86
architectures.

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.
