Pranavkumar Sawargaonkar 27e32e0f3d AArch64: Porting of armv7l conditons to run qemu for aarch64.
AArch64 qemu has similar behavior as armv7l, like use of mmio etc.
This patch adds similar bypass checks what we have for armv7l to aarch64.
E.g. we are enabling mmio transport for Nicdev.
Making addDefaultUSB and addDefaultMemballoon to false etc.

V3:
- Adding missing domain rng schema for aarcg64 and test case in
  testutilsqemu.c which was causing test suite failure
  while running make check.

V2:
- Added testcase to qemuxml2argvtest as suggested
  during review comments of V1.

V1:
- Initial patch.

Eric Blake ecd881b7a7 storage: add network-dir as new storage volume type
In the 'directory' and 'netfs' storage pools, a user can see
both 'file' and 'dir' storage volume types, to know when they
can descend into a subdirectory.  But in a network-based storage
pool, such as the upcoming 'gluster' pool, we use 'network'
instead of 'file', and did not have any counterpart for a
directory until this patch.  Adding a new volume type
'network-dir' is better than reusing 'dir', because it makes
it clear that the only way to access 'network' volumes within
that container is through the network mounting (leaving 'dir'
for something accessible in the local file system).

Eric Blake 1b5c8d4cbc storage: expose volume meta-type in XML
I got annoyed at having to use both 'virsh vol-list $pool --details'

Eric Blake 6cc4d6a3fe storage: use valid XML for awkward volume names
$ touch /var/lib/libvirt/images/'a<b>c'
$ virsh pool-refresh default
$ virsh vol-dumpxml 'a<b>c' default | head -n2
<volume>
  <name>a<b>c</name>

Oops.  That's not valid XML.  And when we fix the XML
generation, it fails RelaxNG validation.

I'm also tired of seeing <key>(null)</key> in the example
output for volume xml; while we used NULLSTR() to avoid
a NULL deref rather than relying on glibc's printf
extension behavior, it's even better if we avoid the issue
in the first place.  But this requires being careful that
we don't invalidate any storage backends that were relying
on key being unassigned during virStoragVolCreateXML[From].

I would have split this into two patches (one for escaping,
one for avoiding <key>(null)</key>), but since they both
end up touching a lot of the same test files, I ended up
merging it into one.

Note that this patch allows pretty much any volume name
that can appear in a directory (excluding . and .. because
those are special), but does nothing to change the current
(unenforced) RelaxNG claim that pool names will consist
only of letters, numbers, _, -, and +.  Tightening the C
code to match RelaxNG patterns and/or relaxing the grammar
to match the C code for pool names is a task for another
day (but remember, we DID recently tighten C code for
domain names to exclude a leading '.').

(virStorageVolDefFormat): Escape user-controlled strings.
(virStorageVolDefParseXML): Parse key, for use in unit tests.

volume creation.

Eric Blake 887dd3625b storage: fix RNG validation of gluster via netfs
While trying to compare netfs against my new gluster pool, I
discovered two things:

virt-xml-validate chokes on valid xml produced by 'virsh pool-dumpxml'
[yet another reason that ALL patches that add new xml should be adding
corresponding tests]

When using glusterfs FUSE mounts, you cannot access a subdirectory
of a gluster volume.  The recommended workaround in the gluster
community is to mount the volume to an intermediate location, then
bind-mount the desired subdirectory to the final location.  Maybe
we should teach libvirt to do bind-mounting, but for now I chose to
just document the limitation.

Ján Tomko 3f029fb531 LXC: Fix handling of RAM filesystem size units
Since 76b644c when the support for RAM filesystems was introduced,
libvirt accepted the following XML:
<source usage='1024' unit='KiB'/>

This was parsed correctly and internally stored in bytes, but it
was formatted as (with an extra 's'):
<source usage='1024' units='KiB'/>
When read again, this was treated as if the units were missing,
meaning libvirt was unable to parse its own XML correctly.

The usage attribute was documented as being in KiB, but it was not
scaled if the unit was missing. Transient domains still worked,
because this was balanced by an extra 'k' in the mount options.

This patch:
Changes the parser to use 'units' instead of 'unit', as the latter
was never documented (fixing persistent domains) and some programs
(libvirt-glib, libvirt-sandbox) already parse the 'units' attribute.

Removes the extra 'k' from the tmpfs mount options, which is needed
because now we parse our own XML correctly.

Changes the default input unit to KiB to match documentation, fixing:
