Kamil Szczęk a9a5f8ef39 qemu: Introduce the 'ps2' feature
This introduces a new 'ps2' feature which, when disabled, results in
no implicit PS/2 bus input devices being automatically added to the
domain and addition of the 'i8042=off' machine option to the QEMU
command-line.

A notable side effect of disabling the i8042 controller in QEMU is that
the vmport device won't be created. For this reason we will not allow
setting the vmport feature if the ps2 feature is explicitly disabled.

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.
