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.

Daniel P. Berrange df0b57a95a Convert libvirtd over to the new RPC handling APIs
This guts the libvirtd daemon, removing all its networking and
RPC handling code. Instead it calls out to the new virServerPtr
APIs for all its RPC & networking work

As a fallout all libvirtd daemon error reporting now takes place
via the normal internal error reporting APIs. There is no need
to call separate error reporting APIs in RPC code, nor should
code use VIR_WARN/VIR_ERROR for reporting fatal problems anymore.

* daemon/qemu_dispatch_*.h, daemon/remote_dispatch_*.h: Remove
  old generated dispatcher code
* daemon/qemu_dispatch.h, daemon/remote_dispatch.h: New dispatch
  code
* daemon/dispatch.c, daemon/dispatch.h: Remove obsoleted code
* daemon/remote.c, daemon/remote.h: Rewrite for new dispatch
  APIs
* daemon/libvirtd.c, daemon/libvirtd.h: Remove all networking
  code
* daemon/stream.c, daemon/stream.h: Update for new APIs
* daemon/Makefile.am: Link to libvirt-net-rpc-server.la

         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.
