So, systemd-machined has this philosophy that machine names are like hostnames and hence should follow the same rules. But we always allowed international characters in domain names. Thus we need to modify the machine name we are passing to systemd. In order to change some machine names that we will be passing to systemd, we also need to call TerminateMachine at the end of a lifetime of a domain. Even for domains that were started with older libvirt. That can be achieved thanks to virSystemdGetMachineNameByPID(). And because we can change machine names, we can get rid of the inconsistent and pointless escaping of domain names when creating machine names. So this patch modifies the naming in the following way. It creates the name as <drivername>-<id>-<name> where invalid hostname characters are stripped out of the name and if the resulting name is longer, it truncates it to 64 characters. That way we can start domains we couldn't start before. Well, at least on systemd. To make it work all together, the machineName (which is needed only with systemd) is saved in domain's private data. That way the generation is moved to the driver and we don't need to pass various unnecessary arguments to cgroup functions. The only thing this complicates a bit is the scope generation when validating a cgroup where we must check both old and new naming, so a slight modification was needed there.

libvirt library code README
===========================
The directory provides the bulk of the libvirt codebase. Everything
except for the libvirtd daemon and client tools. The build uses a
large number of libtool convenience libraries - one for each child
directory, and then links them together for the final libvirt.so,
although some bits get linked directly to libvirtd daemon instead.
The files directly in this directory are supporting the public API
entry points & data structures.
There are two core shared modules to be aware of:
* util/ - a collection of shared APIs that can be used by any
code. This directory is always in the include path
for all things built
* conf/ - APIs for parsing / manipulating all the official XML
files used by the public API. This directory is only
in the include path for driver implementation modules
* vmx/ - VMware VMX config handling (used by esx/ and vmware/)
Then there are the hypervisor implementations:
* bhyve - bhyve - The BSD Hypervisor
* esx/ - VMware ESX and GSX support using vSphere API over SOAP
* hyperv/ - Microsoft Hyper-V support using WinRM
* lxc/ - Linux Native Containers
* openvz/ - OpenVZ containers using cli tools
* phyp/ - IBM Power Hypervisor using CLI tools over SSH
* qemu/ - QEMU / KVM using qemu CLI/monitor
* remote/ - Generic libvirt native RPC client
* test/ - A "mock" driver for testing
* uml/ - User Mode Linux
* vbox/ - Virtual Box using native API
* vmware/ - VMware Workstation and Player using the vmrun tool
* xen/ - Xen using hypercalls, XenD SEXPR & XenStore
* xenapi/ - Xen using libxenserver
Finally some secondary drivers that are shared for several HVs.
Currently these are used by LXC, OpenVZ, QEMU, UML and Xen drivers.
The ESX, Hyper-V, Power Hypervisor, Remote, Test & VirtualBox drivers all
implement the secondary drivers directly
* cpu/ - CPU feature management
* interface/ - Host network interface management
* network/ - Virtual NAT networking
* nwfilter/ - Network traffic filtering rules
* node_device/ - Host device enumeration
* secret/ - Secret management
* security/ - Mandatory access control drivers
* storage/ - Storage management drivers
Since both the hypervisor and secondary drivers can be built as
dlopen()able modules, it is *FORBIDDEN* to have build dependencies
between these directories. Drivers are only allowed to depend on
the public API, and the internal APIs in the util/ and conf/
directories
