Michal Privoznik 3010a69226 qemu_command: Generate -mem-prealloc in one corner case more
When guest has NUMA nodes and QEMU is new enough to report
default RAM ID then ideally we would use -numa memdev= combined
with memory-backend-* combo becasue -mem-path/-mem-prealloc/-numa
mem are deprecated. Well, there is one problem - the .memdev=
attribute is machine type dependent (just look at arguments of
virQEMUCapsGetMachineNumaMemSupported()) and to ensure backwards
compatibility we prefer -numa mem= over -numa memdev=.

But there was one corner case when -mem-prealloc was requested
but not generated on the cmd line. It all starts with
qemuBuildMemCommandLine() which generates just '-m XXX' and
because it sees defaultRAMid and guest NUMA nodes greater than
zero it does nothing more.

Then, qemuBuildNumaCommandLine() sees that -numa mem= is still
supported for given machine type and nothing else set
@needBackend thus qemuBuildMemPathStr() is called which output
-mem-prealloc only in a few cases assuming it was outputted
earlier.

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.
