Jonathon Jongsma aa897d46d5 nodedev: add mdevctl devices to node device list
At startup, query devices that are defined by 'mdevctl' and add them to
the node device list.

This adds a complication: we now have two potential sources of
information for a node device:
 - udev for all devices and for activated mediated devices
 - mdevctl for persistent mediated devices

Unfortunately, neither backend returns full information for a mediated
device. For example, if a persistent mediated device in the list (with
information provided from mdevctl) is 'started', that same device will
now be detected by udev. If we simply overwrite the existing device
definition with the new one provided by the udev backend, we will lose
extra information that was provided by mdevctl (e.g. attributes, etc).
To avoid this, make sure to copy the extra information into the new
device definition.

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.
