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.

Peter Krempa 4bc82cd7eb conf: domain: Insert auto-added controllers in same order as in XML parser
'virDomainDefAddController' which is used in code-paths which auto-add
controllers to the definition such as 'virDomainDefMaybeAddController',
'virDomainDefAddUSBController', 'qemuDomainDefAddDefaultDevices' was
adding the controller at the end of the list. However that is not how
the XML parser would order the controller in the list as it uses
virDomainControllerInsert grouping them by type and additional
properties.

This would cause that auto-added controllers would re-order:
 - between first and any subsequent run of the VM (even on commandline)
 - after a libvirtd/virtqemud restart
 - after any update of the definition based on the 'define' operation
   (e.g. virsh edit)

To ensure that the ordering of controllers is identical always use
virDomainControllerInsert.

Libvirt API for virtualization

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.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
