The LXC, QEMU, and LibXL drivers have all merged their handling of the attach/update/modify device APIs into one large 'xxxxDomainModifyDeviceFlags' which then does a 'switch()' based on the actual API being invoked. While this saves some lines of code, it is not really all that significant in the context of the driver API impls as a whole. This merger of the handling of different APIs creates pain when wanting to automated analysis of the code and do things which are specific to individual APIs. The slight duplication of code from unmerged the API impls, is preferrable to allow for easier automated analysis. Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>
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.

Description
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.
