Daniel P. Berrange 726e391d37 Introduce per-hypervisor virtual RPMs
Introduce a set sub-RPMs, one per hypervisor, which can be used
as dependency targets by applications wishing to pull in the
full stack of packages required for a specific hypervisor. This
avoids the application needing to know what the hypervisor specific
package set is.

ie, applications should not need to know that using the libvirt
Xen hypervisor requires the 'xen' RPM - libvirt should take care
of that knowledge. All the application wants is 'libvirt-daemon-xen'

There are 5 sub-RPMs:

  libvirt-daemon-qemu - non-native TCG based emulators
  libvirt-daemon-kvm  - native KVM hypervisor
  libvirt-daemon-uml  - User Mode linux
  libvirt-daemon-xen  - Xen, either via XenD or libxl
  libvirt-daemon-lxc  - Linux native containers

When driver modules get turned on, these sub-RPMs will also
gain dependencies on the appropriate driver module .so files

         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.
