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.

Eric Blake 51c8216594 build: fix build on RHEL 5
On RHEL 5, compilation fails with:

storage/storage_backend.c: In function 'createRawFile':
storage/storage_backend.c:339: warning: implicit declaration of function 'fallocate'
storage/storage_backend.c:339: warning: nested extern declaration of 'fallocate' [-Wnested-externs]

But:

$ grep HAVE_FALLOCATE config.h
/* #undef HAVE_FALLOCATE */

Huh? It turns out that in kernels that old, fallocate() is not
implemented (config.h is correct), but <linux/fs.h> defines
HAVE_FALLOCATE as an empty witness macro for a completely
different purpose.  Since storage_backend.c is including
<linux/fs.h> on RHEL 5, we are hosed by the kernel definition.
Newer kernels no longer pollute the namespace, and it's fairly
easy to convert to an expression that works with both the old
kernel witness and the new-style config.h (undefined or 1).

Problem introduced in commit 532fef3.

* src/storage/storage_backend.c (createRawFile): Avoid namespace
pollution from kernel, by checking HAVE_FALLOCATE for a value.

         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.
