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.

Eric Blake 40ad7160a2 blockjob: turn on qemu capability bit for active commit
Use the probing functionality added in the last patch to turn on
a capability bit when active commit is present, and gate active
commit on that capability.

For my own reference: the difference between BLOCKJOB_SYNC and
BLOCKJOB_ASYNC is whether qemu generated an event at the
conclusion of blockpull; basically, RHEL 6.2 was the only release
of qemu that has the sync semantics and lacks the event.  RHEL
6.3 added blockcopy, but also picked up on the upstream style
of qemu generating events.  As no one is likely to backport
active commit to RHEL 6.2, it's safe for blockcommit to always
require async blockjob support.

Modifying qemucapabilitiestest is painful; the .replies files would
be so much easier if they had comments correlating which command
generated the given reply.  Maybe I'll fix that up later...

* src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.h (QEMU_CAPS_ACTIVE_COMMIT): New
capability.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockCommit): Use the new bit
* src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c (virQEMUCaps): Name the new bit.
(virQEMUCapsProbeQMPCommands): Set it.
* tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_1.3.1-1.replies: Update.
* tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_1.4.2-1.replies: Likewise.
* tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_1.5.3-1.replies: Likewise.
* tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_1.6.0-1.replies: Likewise.
* tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_1.6.50-1.replies: Likewise.

         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.
