Define the basic framework lock manager plugins. The basic plugin API for 3rd parties to implemented is defined in src/locking/lock_driver.h This allows dlopen()able modules for alternative locking schemes, however, we do not install the header. This requires lock plugins to be in-tree allowing changing of the lock manager plugin API in future. The libvirt code for loading & calling into plugins is in src/locking/lock_manager.{c,h} * include/libvirt/virterror.h, src/util/virterror.c: Add VIR_FROM_LOCKING * src/locking/lock_driver.h: API for lock driver plugins to implement * src/locking/lock_manager.c, src/locking/lock_manager.h: Internal API for managing locking * src/Makefile.am: Add locking code
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.
