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.

Laine Stump 47b9aae0ae qemu: default to vfio for nodedev-detach
This patch resolves:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1035188

Commit f094aaac48 changed the PCI device assignment in qemu domains
to default to using VFIO rather than legacy KVM device assignment
(when VFIO is available). It didn't change which driver was used by
default for virNodeDeviceDetachFlags(), though, so that API (and the
virsh nodedev-detach command) was still binding to the pci-stub
driver, used by legacy KVM assignment, by default.

This patch publicizes (only within the qemu module, though, so no
additions to the symbol exports are needed) the functions that check
for presence of KVM and VFIO device assignment, then uses those
functions to decide what to do when no driver is specified for
virNodeDeviceDetachFlags(); if the vfio driver is loaded, the device
will be bound to vfio-pci, or if legacy KVM assignment is supported on
this system, the device will be bound to pci-stub; if neither method
is available, the detach will fail.

         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.
