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.

Osier Yang 4bc331c894 Introduce new XMLs to specify disk source using libvirt storage
With this patch, one can specify the disk source using libvirt
storage like:

  <disk type='volume' device='disk'>
    <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none'/>
    <source pool='default' volume='fc18.img'/>
    <target dev='vdb' bus='virtio'/>
  </disk>

"seclabels" and "startupPolicy" are not supported for this new
disk type ("volume"). They will be supported in later patches.

docs/formatdomain.html.in:
  * Add documents for new XMLs
docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng:
  * Add rng for new XMLs;
src/conf/domain_conf.h:
  * New struct for 'volume' type disk source (virDomainDiskSourcePoolDef)
  * Add VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_TYPE_VOLUME for enum virDomainDiskType
src/conf/domain_conf.c:
  * New helper virDomainDiskSourcePoolDefParse to parse the 'volume'
    type disk source.
  * New helper virDomainDiskSourcePoolDefFree to free the source def
    if 'volume' type disk.

         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.
