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.

Michal Privoznik 65b7d553f3 daemon: Fix driver registration ordering
There are some stateless drivers which implement subdrivers
(typically vbox and its own network and storage subdrivers). However,
as of ba5f3c7c8e the vbox driver lives in the daemon, not the
client library. This means, in order for vbox (or any stateless domain
driver) to use its subdrivers, it must register before the general
drivers. Later, when the virConnectOpen function goes through the
subdrivers, stateless drivers are searched first. If the connection
request is aiming at stateless driver, it will be opened. Otherwise
the generic subdriver is opened.

The other change done in this commit is moving interface module load a
bit earlier to match the ordering in case libvirt is built without
driver modules.

         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.
