Michal Privoznik 84adb87105 qemuNamespaceMknodPaths: Don't fork needlessly
The qemuNamespaceMknodPaths() function is responsible for
creating files/directories in QEMU's mount namespace. When
called, it is given list of paths that have to be created in the
namespace. It processes this list and removes items that are not
directly under /dev, but on a 'shared' filesystem (note that all
other mount points are preserved). And it may so happen that
after this pre-process no files/directories need to be created in
the namespace. If that's the case, exit early and avoid
fork()-ing only to find out the same.

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.
