This patch modifies some not yet used test data so that the adding a test using this data is a clean patch and not an addition of huge file with some adjustments in small files that will be hidden in the middle of that commit. These changes include: - Add system dir in vircaps2xmldata/linux-caches Back when data for systems with resctrl support were added they had the /sys/fs/system directory put into a system/ subdir of the test and /sys/fs/resctrl in a resctrl/ subdir of that test. However, if we also want a negative test for the resctrl (requesting allocation on a system that does not support resctrl), we need one a test case with any sensible (with cache info) system/ subdir and no resctrl/ one. Easiest way is to add a system -> . symlink into existing test case. - Change default group schemata for linux-resctrl and linux-resctrl-cdp That way we can fit some allocation in. - Remove one cache from resctrl-skx's schemata and make some room for allocations That system already has only one cache, so that file was wrong anyway. We have a version with 2 caches already (linux-resctrl-skx-twocaches), so this will also add variety to future tests. - Add some empty allocation for resctrl-skx Just to have slightly more coverage and variety. We can be sure nothing bad happens if such allocation exists in case we have that in the tests. Signed-off-by: Martin Kletzander <mkletzan@redhat.com>
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.

License
The libvirt C API is distributed under the terms of GNU Lesser General
Public License, version 2.1 (or later). Some parts of the code that are
not part of the C library may have the more restrictive GNU General
Public License, version 2.1 (or later). See the files COPYING.LESSER
and COPYING for full license terms & conditions.
Installation
Libvirt uses the GNU Autotools build system, so in general can be built and installed with the usual commands. For example, to build in a manner that is suitable for installing as root, use:
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
$ make
$ sudo make install
While to build & install as an unprivileged user
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr
$ make
$ make install
The libvirt code relies on a large number of 3rd party libraries. These will
be detected during execution of the configure script and a summary printed
which lists any missing (optional) dependencies.
