Boris Fiuczynski e62c26a20d qemu: add a monitor to /proc/$pid when killing times out
In cases when a QEMU process takes longer than the time sigterm and
sigkill are issued to kill the process do not simply fail and leave the
VM in state VIR_DOMAIN_SHUTDOWN until the daemon stops. Instead set up
an fd on /proc/$pid and get notified when the QEMU process finally has
terminated to cleanup the VM state.

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.
