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.

We support gluster volumes in domain XML, so we also ought to support them as a storage pool. Besides, a future patch will want to take advantage of libgfapi to handle the case of a gluster device holding qcow2 rather than raw storage, and for that to work, we need a storage backend that can read gluster storage volume contents. This sets up the framework. Note that the new pool is named 'gluster' to match a <disk type='network'><source protocol='gluster'> image source already supported in a <domain>; it does NOT match the <pool type='netfs'><source><target type='glusterfs'>, since that uses a FUSE mount to a local file name rather than a network name. This and subsequent patches have been tested against glusterfs 3.4.1 (available on Fedora 19); there are likely bugs in older versions that may prevent decent use of gfapi, so this patch enforces the minimum version tested. A future patch may lower the minimum. On the other hand, I hit at least two bugs in 3.4.1 that will be fixed in 3.5/3.4.2, where it might be worth raising the minimum: glfs_readdir is nicer to use than glfs_readdir_r [1], and glfs_fini should only return failure on an actual failure [2].

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.
