This patch exports KVM Host Power Management capabilities as XML so that higher-level systems management software can make use of these features available in the host. The script "pm-is-supported" (from pm-utils package) is run to discover if Suspend-to-RAM (S3) or Suspend-to-Disk (S4) is supported by the host. If either of them are supported, then a new tag "<power_management>" is introduced in the XML under the <host> tag. However in case the query to check for power management features succeeded, but the host does not support any such feature, then the XML will contain an empty <power_management/> tag. In the event that the PM query itself failed, the XML will not contain any "power_management" tag. To use this, new APIs could be implemented in libvirt to exploit power management features such as S3/S4.
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.
