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.

Laine Stump d8bd837669 qemu: add a USB3 controller to Q35 domains by default
Previously we added a set of EHCI+UHCI controllers to Q35 machines to
mimic real hardware as closely as possible, but recent discussions
have pointed out that the nec-usb-xhci (USB3) controller is much more
virtualization-friendly (uses less CPU), so this patch switches the
default for Q35 machinetypes to add an XHCI instead (if it's
supported, which it of course *will* be).

Since none of the existing test cases left out USB controllers in the
input XML, a new Q35 test case was added which has *no* devices, so
ends up with only the defaults always put in by qemu, plus those added
by libvirt.

         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.
