Laine Stump 73c0a148af qemu: support event_idx parameter for virtio disk and net devices
In some versions of qemu, both virtio-blk-pci and virtio-net-pci
devices can have an event_idx setting that determines some details of
event processing. When it is enabled, it "reduces the number of
interrupts and exits for the guest". qemu will automatically enable
this feature when it is available, but there may be cases where this
new feature could actually make performance worse (NB: no such case
has been found so far).

As a safety switch in case such a situation is encountered in the
field, this patch adds a new attribute "event_idx" to the <driver>
element of both disk and interface devices. event_idx can be set to
"on" (to force event_idx on in case qemu has it disabled by default)
or "off" (for force event_idx off). In the case that event_idx support
isn't present in qemu, the attribute is ignored (this on the advice of
the qemu developer).

docs/formatdomain.html.in: document the new flag (marking it as
   "don't mess with this!"

src/conf/domain_conf.[ch]: add event_idx to parser and formatter
src/libvirt_private.syms: export
   virDomainVirtioEventIdx(From|To)String
src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.[ch]: detect and report event_idx in
   disk/net
src/qemu/qemu_command.c: add event_idx parameter to qemu commandline
    when appropriate.
