hypervisor api: new virNodeDeviceDetachFlags
The existing virNodeDeviceDettach() assumes that there is only a single PCI device assignment backend driver appropriate for any hypervisor. This is no longer true, as the qemu driver is getting support for PCI device assignment via VFIO. The new API virNodeDeviceDetachFlags adds a driverName arg that should be set to the exact same string set in a domain <hostdev>'s <driver name='x'/> element (i.e. "vfio", "kvm", or NULL for default). It also adds a flags arg for good measure (and because it's possible we may need it when we start dealing with VFIO's "device groups").
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.

Description
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.
