The virCaps structure gathered a ton of irrelevant data over time that. The original reason is that it was propagated to the XML parser functions. This patch aims to create a new data structure virDomainXMLConf that will contain immutable data that are used by the XML parser. This will allow two things we need: 1) Get rid of the stuff from virCaps 2) Allow us to add callbacks to check and add driver specific stuff after domain XML is parsed. This first attempt removes pointers to private data allocation functions to this new structure and update all callers and function that require them.
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.
