This case will still work, but be a bit slower, which is fine. Nowadays
-M virt is much better for virt usage and nearly everyone is using that,
so save us the complication. This was really only useful when
bootstrapping arm virt support
The validation is already handled by libvirt, and setting q35 for
smm=on is overkill and just hardcoding some libvirt logic here.
I think the 'secboot' detection in Guest.py is the preferred
magic here, otherwise let users specify all the correct values.
An emulated backend doesn't require any path, since libvirt will take
care of finding the emulator and managing the storage. However, the
version to emulate can be specified.

Add codec support to virt-install so that it can accommodate
multiple instances of codec configuration.
The commandline argument:
--sound codec0.type=micro,codec1.type=duplex,codec2.type=output
maps to the sound XML below:
<sound model="es1370">
<codec type="micro"/>
<codec type="duplex"/>
<codec type="output"/>
</sound>

This type of validation should really be done at the libvirt level,
particularly for a non-mandatory feature like cpuset. Otherwise
it's just more code for us to test which will rarely be hit by users

Use consistent and minimal license header for every file
Where before this they said "
"either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version."
Now they just say
"GNU GPLv2"
This fixes it to say "GNU GPLv2 or later" again.

non-treeinfo redhat only applies to pre RHEL5.4 and very old
Fedora. It's not worth it anymore to slow down all URL lookups
and maintain code complexity to handle such long out of date
distros.
GenericDistro doesn't actually apply to any public trees that I
can find, except for some with TreeInfo. So turn it into
GenericTreeinfoDistro. If random URL trees want to work with
virt-install, add a treeinfo file
A new Python checker was added to warn about using a + operator inside

If we try to run the testsuite on anything older than libvirt 3.1,
it immediately throws an exception before processing any tests,
due to choking on parsing drm bits from testdriver.xml. This global
failure is only due to sloppy coding though.
Turn all test cases that use testdriver.xml into skips in this case,
so we can at least get some test coverage otherwise.
Right now, most test cases will create a libvirt test driver using
tests/testdriver.xml. This is problematic for 2 reasons:
1) testdriver.xml is 3500 lines of XML, and it's parsed hundreds of
times. Opening it is responsible for about 25% of test suite time
2) Older libvirt chokes on testdriver.xml, meaning the test suite will
be useless there. This is a recurring problem as new features are
added to testdriver.xml
Most test cases don't actually need all the test state in testdriver.xml
though. So this creates a smaller testsuite.xml which has a lower
libvirt requirement and is much quicker to parse. New XML bits should
continue to go into testdriver.xml so we can keep testsuite.xml as
the more stripped down option.
Add vcpupin support to virt-install so that it can create guest
domains with statically allocated vcpu pinning towards a given cpuset.
Syntax: to pin vcpu=0 to cpuset="1,3" and vcpu=1 to cpuset=2
--cputune vcpupin0.vcpu=0,vcpupin0.cpuset=1,3,vcpupin1.vcpu=1,vcpupin1.cpuset=2
generates below XML description for the guest domain.
<cputune>
<vcpupin vcpu="0" cpuset="1,3"/>
<vcpupin vcpu="1" cpuset="2"/>
</cputune>

Now that libvirt has support for administration of distances between NUMA cells
it would be nice to be able to set those with virt-install directly instead of
having to 'virsh edit' the domain XML manually after installation.
For example
--cpu cell0.memory=1234,cell0.cpus=0-3,cell1.memory=5678,cell1.cpus=4-7,\
cell0.distances.sibling0.id=0,cell0.distances.sibling0.value=10,\
cell0.distances.sibling1.id=1,cell0.distances.sibling1.value=21,\
cell1.distances.sibling0.id=0,cell1.distances.sibling0.value=21,\
cell1.distances.sibling1.id=1,cell1.distances.sibling1.value=10
would generate the following XML:
<cpu>
<numa>
<cell cpus="0-3" memory="1234">
<distances>
<sibling id="0" value="10"/>
<sibling id="1" value="21"/>
</distances>
</cell>
<cell cpus="4-7" memory="5678">
<distances>
<sibling id="0" value="21"/>
<sibling id="1" value="10"/>
</distances>
</cell>
</numa>
</cpu>

libvirt supports guest CPU cache by commit df13c0b, So add this feature
to virt-install to configure cpu L3 cache mode.
Currently, The valid values are 'passthrough', 'emulate' or 'disable'.
say:
--cpu host-passthrough,cache.mode=passthrough
or
--cpu $CPU,cache.mode=emulate,cache.level=3
or
--cpu $CPU,cache.mode=disable

Using "listens.*" allows better configuration of listen elements for
graphics devices. Currently the only way how to configure a listen
type is to abuse "listen" parameter and there is no way how to configure
exact "network".

There are multiple models of the panic device, the address type is only
one and is valid only for "isa" model.
To not break the virt-install/virt-xml the command line parser needs to
be updated. Before this patch there was only one parameter that
configured the "iobase". Now the first parameter configures a model
but to keep it backward compatible it follows these rules:
1. there is only one parameter and it matches known model:
--panic isa
<panic model='isa'>
<address iobase='0x505' type='isa'/>
</panic>
2. there is only one parameter and it doesn't match any model:
--panic 0x505
<panic model='isa'>
<address iobase='0x505' type='isa'/>
</panic>
3. there are two parameters:
--panic isa,iobase=0x505
<panic model='isa'>
<address iobase='0x505' type='isa'/>
</panic>
