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.

Add a new xen driver based on libxenlight [1], which is the primary toolstack starting with Xen 4.1.0. The driver is stateful and runs privileged only. Like the existing xen-unified driver, the libxenlight driver is accessed with xen:// URI. Driver selection is based on the status of xend. If xend is running, the libxenlight driver will not load and xen:// connections are handled by xen-unified. If xend is not running *and* the libxenlight driver is available, xen:// connections are deferred to the libxenlight driver. V6: - Address several code style issues noted by Daniel Veillard - Make drive work with xen:/// URI - Hold domain object reference while domain is injected in libvirt event loop. Race found and fixed by Markus Groß. V5: - Ensure events are unregistered when domain private data is destroyed. Discovered and fixed by Markus Groß. V4: - Handle restart of libvirtd, reconnecting to previously started domains - Rebased to current master - Tested against Xen 4.1 RC7-pre (c/s 22961:c5d121fd35c0) V3: - Reserve vnc port within driver when autoport=yes V2: - Update to Xen 4.1 RC6-pre (c/s 22940:5a4710640f81) - Rebased to current master - Plug memory leaks found by Stefano Stabellini and valgrind - Handle SHUTDOWN_crash domain death event [1] http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2009-11/msg00436.html |

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.
