qemu: command: Add infrastructure for object specified disk sources
To allow richer definitions of disk sources add infrastructure that will allow to register functionst generating a JSON object based definition. This infrastructure will then convert the definition to the proper command line syntax and use it in cases where it's necessary. This will allow to keep legacy definitions for back-compat when possible and use the new definitions for the configurations requiring them.
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.
