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.

Peter Krempa b87a11340f qemu: capabilities: Don't partially reprope caps on process reconnect
Thanks to the complex capability caching code virQEMUCapsProbeQMP was
never called when we were starting a new qemu VM. On the other hand,
when we are reconnecting to the qemu process we reload the capability
list from the status XML file. This means that the flag preventing the
function being called was not set and thus we partially reprobed some of
the capabilities.

The recent addition of CPU hotplug clears the
QEMU_CAPS_QUERY_HOTPLUGGABLE_CPUS if the machine does not support it.
The partial re-probe on reconnect results into attempting to call the
unsupported command and then killing the VM.

Remove the partial reprobe and depend on the stored capabilities. If it
will be necessary to reprobe the capabilities in the future, we should
do a full reprobe rather than this partial one.

         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.
