Not all machine types support all devices, device properties, backends, etc. So until we create a matrix of [machineType, qemuCaps], lets just filter out some capabilities before we return them to the consumer (which is going to make decisions based on them straight away). Currently, as qemu is unable to tell which capabilities are (not) enabled for given machine types, it's us who has to hardcode the matrix. One day maybe the hardcoding will go away and we can create the matrix dynamically on the fly based on a few monitor calls. Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@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.
