As there are two possible approaches to define a domain's memory size - one used with legacy, non-NUMA VMs configured in the <memory> element and per-node based approach on NUMA machines - the user needs to make sure that both are specified correctly in the NUMA case. To avoid this burden on the user I'd like to replace the NUMA case with automatic totaling of the memory size. To achieve this I need to replace direct access to the virDomainMemtune's 'max_balloon' field with two separate getters depending on the desired size. The two sizes are needed as: 1) Startup memory size doesn't include memory modules in some hypervisors. 2) After startup these count as the usable memory size. Note that the comments for the functions are future aware and document state that will be present after a few later patches. |

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.
