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.

Daniel P. Berrange 5f5c6fde00 Allow use of file images for LXC container filesystems
A previous commit gave the LXC driver the ability to mount
block devices for the container filesystem. Through use of
the loopback device functionality, we can build on this to
support use of plain file images for LXC filesytems.

By setting the LO_FLAGS_AUTOCLEAR flag we can ensure that
the loop device automatically disappears when the container
dies / shuts down

* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Raise error if we see a file
  based filesystem, since it should have been turned into
  a loopback device already
* src/lxc/lxc_controller.c: Rewrite any filesystems of
  type=file, into type=block, by binding the file image
  to a free loop device

         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.
