This reverts commit 618e8665db2e4c1a8e9a227045b99b48f6110c06. This is the first in a series of 10 commits that revert (in reverse order) the changes to add the <acpi-hotplug-bridge state='on|off'/> switch to libvirt domain XML, which unfortunately needs to be removed due to QEMU developers discovering a flaw with the design of the QEMU commandline switch used to implement the libvirt switch that will likely result in a new and different method of selecting hotplug modes. Because the libvirt switch has not been in any official releases of libvirt, we are still able to remove it completely, rather than deprecating it. The original commits began with commit 58ba0f6a3d7342fba29edbbf2bb9cb5497c870e5. The other original commit IDs are documented in each revert commit.

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.
