All the unit tests that use iptables/ip6tables/ebtables have been written to omit the locking/exclusive use primitive on the generated commandlines. Even though none of the tests actually execute those commands (and so it doesn't matter for purposes of the test whether or not the commands support these options), it still made sense when some systems had these locking options and some didn't. We are now at a point where every supported Linux distro has supported the locking options on these commands for quite a long time, and are going to make their use non-optional. As a first step, this patch uses the virFirewallSetLockOverride() function, which is called at the beginning of all firewall-related tests, to set all the bools controlling whether or not the locking options are used to true. This means that all the test cases must be updated to include the proper locking option in their commandlines. The change to make actual execs of the commands unconditionally use the locking option will be in an upcoming patch - this one affects only the unit tests.

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.
