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.

Eric Blake b43efdaa13 maint: avoid 'const fooPtr' in hashes
'const fooPtr' is the same as 'foo * const' (the pointer won't
change, but it's contents can).  But in general, if an interface
is trying to be const-correct, it should be using 'const foo *'
(the pointer is to data that can't be changed).

Fix up virhash to provide a const-correct interface: all actions
that don't modify the table take a const table.  Note that in
one case (virHashSearch), we actually strip const away - we aren't
modifying the contents of the table, so much as associated data
for ensuring that the code uses the table correctly (if this were
C++, it would be a case for the 'mutable' keyword).

* src/util/virhash.h (virHashKeyComparator, virHashEqual): Use
intended type.
(virHashSize, virHashTableSize, virHashLookup, virHashSearch):
Make const-correct.
* src/util/virhash.c (virHashEqualData, virHashEqual)
(virHashLookup, virHashSize, virHashTableSize, virHashSearch)
(virHashComputeKey): Fix fallout.
* src/conf/nwfilter_params.c
(virNWFilterFormatParameterNameSorter): Likewise.
* src/nwfilter/nwfilter_ebiptables_driver.c
(ebiptablesFilterOrderSort): Likewise.
* tests/virhashtest.c (testHashGetItemsCompKey)
(testHashGetItemsCompValue): Likewise.

         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.
