This change introduces libvirt xml support to enable/disable hotplug on the pci-root controller. It adds a 'target' subelement for the pci-root controller with a 'hotplug' property. This property can be used to enable or disable hotplug for the pci-root controller. For example, in order to disable hotplug on the pci-root controller, one has to use set '<target hotplug='off'>' as shown below: <controller type='pci' model='pci-root'> <target hotplug='off'/> </controller> '<target hotplug='on'>' option would enable hotplug for pci-root controller. This is also the default value. This option is only available for pc machine types and is applicable for qemu/kvm accelerator only.This feature was introduced from qemu version 5.2 with the following change in qemu repository: 3d7e78aa7777f ("Introduce a new flag for i440fx to disable PCI hotplug on the root bus") The above qemu commit describes some reasons why users might to disable hotplug on PCI root buses. Related unit tests to exercise the new conf option has also been added. Signed-off-by: Ani Sinha <ani@anisinha.ca> Reviewed-by: Daniel P.

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.
