Michal Privoznik 8b9d2bda8a qemu: Set proper PCI backend for <interface/>-s that are actually hostdevs
When starting a domain, it's done so in two steps (actually more,
but lets focus on just the following two):

  1) qemuProcessPrepareDomain(), followed by

  2) qemuProcessPrepareHost().

Now, in the first step (PrepareDomain()), PCI backends for all
hostdevs is set (qemuProcessPrepareDomain() ->
qemuProcessPrepareDomainHostdevs() -> qemuDomainPrepareHostdev()
-> qemuDomainPrepareHostdevPCI()). Perfect.

But then, additional hostdevs may appear, because in the host
prepare phase we may insert some hostdevs into domain definition
(qemuProcessPrepareHost() -> qemuProcessNetworkPrepareDevices()).

Now, these additional hostdevs don't undergo the same prepare as
hostdevs that were already present in the domain definition (i.e.
in qemuProcessPrepareDomain() phase). Therefore, we have to call
corresponding prepare function explicitly.

NB, the interface hotplug code (qemuDomainAttachNetDevice()) does
not suffer from this problem, because it calls top level
qemuDomainAttachHostDevice() which is used to hotplug regular
hostdevs too and as such calls qemuDomainPrepareHostdev().

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.
