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.

Michael Chapman 81764660ae spec: clean up libvirtd and virtlockd service mgmt
- systemctl and the %systemd_* RPM macros can take multiple unit names
  in the one invocation. Make use of this to avoid repeated systemd
  daemon reloads.

- virtlockd was only properly enabled and disabled when using systemd,
  but when systemd RPM macros were not available (e.g. on Fedora < 18).
  Make sure it's enabled when systemd RPM macros are present, or when
  using initscripts.

- Always use "reload" on virtlockd, not "condrestart". This allows it to
  cleanly re-execute itself without losing running state. Ignore any
  error should the reload fail.

- Move the reloading of virtlockd and libvirtd via their initscripts
  into the daemon package's %postun scriptlet. These services must be
  restarted after all of the libvirt-daemon-driver-* packages have
  been upgraded during the same RPM transaction.

- Add a %triggerpostun executed only when upgrading an older
  libvirt-daemon. As an older package would only reload libvirtd during
  %post, and the newer package would only reload libvirtd during
  %postun, such an upgrade would not reload libvirtd at all without the
  trigger.

         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.
