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.

Gordon Messmer ca21d75d25 virsh: add --io when attaching disks to guests
virt-install and virt-manager both default to explicitly setting
"io='native'" in the disk "driver" tag. virsh, however, does not and also
does not provide an option to specify that setting at all.  As a result,
disks use a different IO mechanism (the default, "threads") when attached
post-setup using virsh.  Adding this option allows users to keep disk
performance consistent for disks attached at install, and those attached
afterward.

         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.
