Laine Stump e1b6b0646f network: turn on auto-rollback for the rules added for virtual networks
So far this will only affect what happens if there is some failure
while applying the firewall rules; the rollback rules aren't yet
persistent beyond that time. More work is needed to remember the
rollback rules while the network is active, and use those rules to
remove the firewall for the network when it is destroyed.

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.
