This adds two new pages to the website, acl.html describing the general access control framework and permissions models, and aclpolkit.html describing the use of polkit as an access control driver. page.xsl is modified to support a new syntax <div id="include" filename="somefile.htmlinc"/> which will cause the XSL transform to replace that <div> with the contents of 'somefile.htmlinc'. We use this in the acl.html.in file, to pull the table of permissions for each libvirt object. This table is autogenerated from the enums in src/access/viraccessperms.h by the genaclperms.pl script. newapi.xsl is modified so that the list of permissions checks shown against each API will link to the description of the permissions in acl.html Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

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.
