Recently reverted commit id '6f2a0198' showed a need to add extra comments when dealing with filtering of potential "non-issues". Scanning through upstream patch postings indicates early on the reasons for the filtering of specific ioctl failures were provided; however, when converted from causing an error to VIR_DEBUG's the reasons were missing. A future read/change of the code incorrectly assumed they could or should be removed.
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.
