Peter Krempa a9e71cb737 qemu: process: Probe machine type data on reconnect to qemu
When reconnecting we populate only the capability flags from the XML as
we need to know the exact flags that were present when starting the VM.

On the other hand the machine type data is not stored as it wasn't
really used after startup. While storing all of the data into the status
XML would be theoretically possible, with machine-type specific data it
makes no sense to do so, and thus the data can be re-probed from the
current instance.

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.
