+ qemu: Make default machine type independent of QEMU
+
+
+ We can't control whether or not QEMU will change its default
+ machine type in the future, or whether downstream distributions
+ will decide to compile out some machine types, so our only option
+ to provide a predictable behavior is taking care of the default
+ ourselves; management applications and users are encouraged to
+ explicitly pick a machine type when creating new guests.

+ apparmor: Various improvements
+
+
+ Rules have been added to deal with a number of scenarios that
+ didn't work correctly.

+
+ esx: Truncate CPU model name
+
+
+ Some CPU model names are too long to be stored into the
+ corresponding property, and should be explicitly truncated
+ to avoid unexpected behavior in users of the
+ virNodeGetInfo() API such as
+ virsh nodeinfo.

+
+
+ utils: Remove arbitrary limit on socket_id/core_id
+
+
+ Both values were assumed to be smaller than 4096, but in fact
+ they are entirely hardware-dependent and there have been reports
+ of machines presenting much bigger values, preventing libvirt from
+ working correctly; all such limits have now been removed.
