This patch adds parsing/formatting code as well as documentation for shared memory devices. This will currently be only accessible in QEMU using it's ivshmem device, but is designed as generic as possible to allow future expansion for other hypervisors. In the devices section in the domain XML users may specify: - For shmem device using a server: <shmem name='shmem0'> <server path='/tmp/socket-ivshmem0'/> <size unit='M'>32</size> <msi vectors='32' ioeventfd='on'/> </shmem> - For ivshmem device not using an ivshmem server: <shmem name='shmem1'> <size unit='M'>32</size> </shmem> Most of the configuration is made optional so it also allows specifications like: <shmem name='shmem1/> <shmem name='shmem2'> <server/> </shmem> Signed-off-by: Maxime Leroy <maxime.leroy@6wind.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Kletzander <mkletzan@redhat.com>
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.

Description
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.
