Some machine types are only reported as canonical names for other
machine types, which make it a bit harder to find what machine types are
supported by a specific QEMU binary. Ideally, one would just use
/capabilities/guest/arch[@name='...']/machine/text() XPath to get a list
of all supported machine types, but it doesn't work right now.
For example, we report
<machine canonical='pc-i440fx-2.3' maxCpus='255'>pc</machine>
in guest capabilities, but the corresponding
<machine maxCpus='255'>pc-i440fx-2.3</machine>
is missing.
This is a result of QMP probing. With "-machine ?" parsing QEMU sends
us two lines:
pc Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996) (alias of pc-i440fx-2.3)
pc-i440fx-2.3 Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996) (default)
while query-machines QMP command reports both in the same entry:
{"name": "pc-i440fx-2.3", "is-default": true, "cpu-max": 255, "alias": "pc"}
Let's make sure we always report separate <machine/> for both the
canonical name and its alias and using the canonical name as the default
machine type (i.e., inserting it before its alias) in case is-default is
true.

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.
