Praveen K Paladugu 51c14df967 ch: Enable hyperv hypervisor
Cloud-Hypervisor is capable of running VMs with kvm or mshv as the
hypervisor on Linux Host. Guest to hypevisor ABI with mshv hypervisor is
the same as in the case of VIR_DOMAIN_VIRT_HYPERV. So, VIR_DOMAIN_VIRT_HYPERV
type will be reused to represent the config with Linux Host and mshv as the
hypervisor.

While initializing ch driver, check if either of /dev/kvm or /dev/mshv
device is present on the host. Before starting ch domains, check if the
requested hypervisor device is present on the host.

Users can specify hypervisor in ch guests's domain definitions like
below:

<domain type='kvm'>

_or_

<domain type='hyperv'>

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.
