Peter Krempa 64a69ee242 QEMUHotplugRemoveFDSet: Prepare for proper FD unplug handling
For now we have only one code path ('vdpa' interface) which actually
cleans up the fdset after it's done, but there are more device types
using fdsets.

In order to unify the handling of fdsets the removal code will now be
able to remove fdsets based on a prefix of the 'opaque' field, which
we'll always prefix with a device alias or e.g. node name once fdsets
are also used for disk backing.

To keep compatibility with old QEMUs, retain the possibility for the
VDPA interface to use the path.

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.
