Laine Stump b9a1e7c436 conf: replace virHostdevIsVFIODevice with virHostdevIsPCIDevice
virHostdevIsVFIODevice() and virDomainDefHasVFIOHostdev() are only ever
called from the QEMU driver, and in the case of the QEMU driver, any
PCI hostdev by definition uses VFIO, so really all these callers only
need to know if the device is a PCI hostdev.

(It turned out that the less specific virHostdevIsPCIDevice() already
existed in hypervisor/virhostdev.c, so I had to remove one of them;
since conf is a lower level directory than hypervisor, and the
function is called from conf, keeping the copy in hypervisor would
have required moving its caller (virDomainDefHasPCIHostdev()) into
hypervisor as well, so I just removed the copy in hypervisor.)

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.
