Use capabilities to allow a driver to register a default <init> if none is specified in the XML. Openvz was already open-coding this to be /sbin/init LXC currently falls over if no init is specified, so an explicit error is an improvement IMO. (Side note: I don't think we can set a default value for LXC. If we use /sbin/init but the user doesn't specify a separate root FS for their guest, the container will rerun the host's init which can be traumatic :). For virt-install I'm thinking of defaulting to /sbin/init if a root FS has been specified, otherwise require the user to manually specify <init>)
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.
