The patch dbb4cbf532fa by Michal has splited the vbox driver into three parties. This modification brings a more suitable interface to the previous patch. The new function vboxGetDriver is introduced to get the corresponding vbox domain driver directly thought the vbox version. Functions like vboxGetNetworkDriver and vboxGetStorageDriver will be introduced after rewriting it's drivers. This patch, by the way, fixed the align problem for vbox in Makefile.am
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.
