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.

Jiri Denemark 89241fe0d1 qemu: Fallback to HMP for snapshot commands
qemu driver in libvirt gained support for creating domain snapshots
almost a year ago in libvirt 0.8.0. Since then we enabled QMP support
for qemu >= 0.13.0 but QMP equivalents of {save,load,del}vm commands are
not implemented in current qemu (0.14.0) so the domain snapshot support
is not very useful.

This patch detects when the appropriate QMP command is not implemented
and tries to use human-monitor-command (aka HMP passthrough) to run
it's HMP equivalent.

         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.
