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 76b644c362 Add support for RAM filesystems for LXC
Introduce a new syntax for filesystems to allow use of a RAM
filesystem

   <filesystem type='ram'>
      <source usage='10' units='MiB'/>
      <target dir='/mnt'/>
   </filesystem>

The usage units default to KiB to limit consumption of host memory.

* docs/formatdomain.html.in: Document new syntax
* docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng: Add new attributes
* src/conf/domain_conf.c: Parsing/formatting of RAM filesystems
* src/lxc/lxc_container.c: Mounting of RAM filesystems

         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.
