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.

Eric Farman 881eb78064 qemu: Auto-generate controller for hotplugged hostdev
If a SCSI hostdev is included in an initial domain XML, without a
corresponding controller statement, one is created silently when the
guest is booted.

When hotplugging a SCSI hostdev, a presumption is that the controller
is already present in the domain either from the original XML, or via
an earlier hotplug.

  [root@xxxxxxxx ~]# cat disk.xml
  <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi'>
    <source>
      <adapter name='scsi_host0'/>
      <address bus='0' target='3' unit='1088438288'/>
    </source>
  </hostdev>
  [root@xxxxxxxx ~]# virsh attach-device guest01 disk.xml
  error: Failed to attach device from disk.xml
  error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'device_add': Bus 'scsi0.0' not found

Since the infrastructure is in place, we can also create a controller
silently for use by the hotplugged hostdev device.

         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.
