Michal Privoznik 7d661d6e20 vmx: Parse vm.genid
The VMware metadata file contains genid but we are not parsing
and thus reporting it in domain XML. However, it's not as
straightforward as one might think. The UUID reported by VMware
is not in its usual string form, but split into two signed long
longs. That means, we have to do a bit of trickery when parsing.
But looking around it's the same magic that libguestfs does:

It's also explained by Rich on qemu-devel:

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.
