Peter Krempa 5747dff5f7 docs: drvqemu: Document overriding of device properties
Upcoming patches will add possibility to override configuration of a
device with custom properties as a more versatile replacement to using
QEMU's '-set' parameter, which doesn't work when we use JSON to
instantiate devices.

Describe the XML used for the override as well as expectations of
upstream support in case something breaks.

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.
