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.

Daniel P. Berrange 7474560bef Support passing QEMU lock state to dest during migration
Some lock managers associate state with leases, allowing a process
to temporarily release its leases, and re-acquire them later, safe
in the knowledge that no other process has acquired + released the
leases in between.

This is already used between suspend/resume operations, and must
also be used across migration. This passes the lockstate in the
migration cookie. If the lock manager uses lockstate, then it
becomes compulsory to use the migration v3 protocol to get the
cookie support.

* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Validate that migration v2 protocol is
  not used if lock manager needs state transfer
* src/qemu/qemu_migration.c: Transfer lock state in migration

         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.
