Daniel P. Berrange 75235a52bc Ensure root filesystem is recursively mounted readonly 
If the guest is configured with

    <filesystem type='mount'>
      <source dir='/'/>
      <target dir='/'/>
      <readonly/>
    </filesystem>

Then any submounts under / should also end up readonly, except
for those setup as basic mounts. eg if the user has /home on a
separate volume, they'd expect /home to be readonly, but we
should not touch the /sys, /proc, etc dirs we setup ourselves.

Users can selectively make sub-mounts read-write again by
simply listing them as new mounts without the <readonly>
flag set

    <filesystem type='mount'>
      <source dir='/home'/>
      <target dir='/home'/>
    </filesystem>

         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.
