Daniel P. Berrangé 331fcaced2 docs: remove git snapshot download links
The process used to build the snapshots no longer works because the box
it runs on is outdated. Analysing the web logs shows the majority of
traffic to these links is from search engine bots. With those removed,
there is about 1 hit per day from (probable) humans.

Most users needing a tarball are better served by using official
releases. Those needing latest code are better served by using git
checkout. The tarball snapshots are not compelling enough to invest time
in fixing the script that produces them.

Roman Bogorodskiy b66fda0a74 bhyve: Add CPU topology support
Recently, bhyve started supporting specifying guest CPU topology.
It looks this way:

  bhyve -c cpus=C,sockets=S,cores=C,threads=T ...

The old behaviour was bhyve -c C, where C is a number of vCPUs, is
still supported.

So if we have CPU topology in the domain XML, use the new syntax,
otherwise keep the old behaviour.

Also, document this feature in the bhyve driver page.

Stefan Berger 8737578d11 conf: Add support for choosing emulation of a TPM 2.0
This patch extends the TPM's device XML with TPM 2.0 support. This only works
for the emulator type backend and looks as follows:

    <tpm model='tpm-tis'>
      <backend type='emulator' version='2.0'/>
    </tpm>

The swtpm process now has --tpm2 as an additional parameter:

Commit id 'fe2af45b' added output for logical_block_size and
num_blocks for both removeable and fixed storage, but did not

It's listed as optional only because it only prints if the

Update the nodedevxml2xmltest in order to output the values
for storage based on the logic from udevProcessRemoveableMedia

John Ferlan c1a0601deb schema: Fix capability grammar for pagesElem
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1572491

Commit id '02129b7c0' added a single pagesElem for slightly
different purposes. One usage was an output for host page size
listing and the other for NUMA supported page sizes. For the
former, only the pages unit and size are formatted, while for
the latter the pages unit, size, and availability data is formatted.

The virt-xml-validate would fail because it expected something
extra in the host page size output. So split up pagesElem a bit
and create pagesHost and pagesNuma for the differences.

Modify some capabilityschemadata output to have the output - even
though the results may not be realistic with respect to the
original incarnation of the data.

John Ferlan b50efe97ad conf: Add VM Generation ID parse/format support
The VM Generation ID is a mechanism to provide a unique 128-bit,
cryptographically random, and integer value identifier known as
the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) to the guest OS. The value
is used to help notify the guest operating system when the virtual
machine is executed with a different configuration.

This patch adds support for a new "genid" XML element similar to
the "uuid" element. The "genid" element can have two forms "<genid/>"
or "<genid>$GUID</genid>". If the $GUID is not provided, libvirt
will generate one and save it in the XML.

Since adding support for a generated GUID (or UUID like) value to
be displayed modifying the xml2xml test to include virrandommock.so
is necessary since it will generate a "known" value.

Convert it to tristate. For writing XML this is semanticly the same,
<vmcoreinfo/> is processed as <vmcoreinfo state='on'/>.

For apps reading guest XML this is technically an API change,
as they might misinterpret <vmcoreinfo state='off'/>, however this

Andrea Bolognani c4466179f4 conf: Add rom.enabled attribute for PCI devices
The attribute can be used to disable ROM loading completely
for a device.

This might be needed because, even when the guest is configured
such that the PCI ROM will not be loaded in the PCI BAR, some
hypervisors (eg. QEMU) might still make it available to the
guest in a form (eg. fw_cfg) that some firmwares (eg. SeaBIOS)
will consume, thus not achieving the desired result.

Daniel P. Berrangé 20ad55a8fd driver: introduce a driver method for probing default URIs
Currently the virDrvConnectOpen method is supposed to handle both
opening an explicit URI and auto-probing a driver if no URI is
given. Introduce a dedicated virDrvConnectURIProbe method to enable the
probing functionality to be split from the driver opening functionality.

It is still possible for NULL to be passed to the virDrvConnectOpen
method after this change, because the remote driver needs special
handling to enable probing of the URI against a remote libvirtd daemon.

Daniel P. Berrangé a2fd657b86 lxc: allow use of lxc:///system URI as preferred format
Historically we have used a bare lxc:/// URI for connecting to LXC. This
is different from our practice with QEMU, UML, Parallels, Libxl, BHyve
and VirtualBox drivers, which all use a path of '/system' or '/session'
or both.

By making LXC allow '/system', we have fully standardized on the use of
either '/system' or '/session' for all the stateful drivers that run
inside libvirtd.

Support for lxc:/// is of course maintained for back-compat.

Daniel P. Berrangé a8ea89d258 xen: encourage use of xen:///system URI as preferred format
Historically we have used a bare xen:/// URI for connecting to the
legacy Xen driver. The new libxl Xen driver follows the new practice
of allowing '/system' as a path, as well as bare '/' for compat with
the old Xen driver.

This documents xen:///system as the preferred format for Xen, leaving
xen:/// as an undocumented feature just for back-compat.

however, the former should be preferred, as it doesn't need to
obey limitation of real hardware and is completely
architecture-agnostic.
