Michal Privoznik 70a2b618bb qemu: Deduplicate code in qemuSecurityChownCallback()
The DAC security driver has an option to register a callback that
is called instead of chown(). So far QEMU is the only user of
this feature and it's used to set labels on non-local disks (like
gluster), where exists notion of owners but regular chown() can't
be used.

However, this callback (if set) is called always, even for local
disks. And thus the QEMU's implementation duplicated parts of the
DAC driver to deal with chown().

If the DAC driver would call the callback only for non-local
disks then the QEMU's callback can be shorter.

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.
