backups (where only the difference since the last backup is copied) when
qemu adds the required functionality.
* Add support for audio backend specific settings
With this release a new ``<audio/>`` element is introduced that allows
users to configure audio output for their guests.

* qemu: Compatibility with QEMU 6.0 for certain hot-(un)-plug operations

* qemu: Various improvements to embedded mode
Embedded mode for the QEMU driver, as well as the ``virt-qemu-run`` tool
saw improvements in handling of domain life cycle, temporary directories
creation (important when using disk secrets) and other minor fixes.
* Documentation of split daemon related config files
Split daemons read configuration files upon their start. These were never
documented though.
* **Bug fixes**
* Check host CPU for forbidden features
CPU feature policy did not work as expected with ``host-passthrough`` and
features supported by physical host. CPU features were not filtered out
when ``@check`` was set to ``full``.
* Fix virNetworkUpdate() to work with split daemons
Due to a bug in our code, virNetworkUpdate() did not work with split daemon
unless management application connected to virtnetworkd directly.
* qemu: increase locked memory limit when a vDPA device is present
Just like VFIO devices, vDPA devices may need to have all guest memory
pages locked/pinned in order to operate properly. These devices are now
included when calculating the limit for memory lock.
* Don't log error if SRIOV PF has no associated netdev
Some SRIOV PFs don't have a netdev associated with them in which case
libvirtd reported an error and refused to start. This is now fixed.
* qemu: Only raise memlock limit if necessary
Attempting to set the memlock limit might fail if we're running
in a containerized environment where ``CAP_SYS_RESOURCE`` is not
available, and if the limit is already high enough there's no
point in trying to raise it anyway.
* Restore security context of swtpm.log
If a guest with emulated TPM was started and the daemon was restarted
afterwards, the security context of the per-domain ``swtmp.log`` file was
not restored on domain shutdown leaving it unable to be started again.
* virtlogd|virtlockd: Fixed crash when upgrading the daemons in-place
A bug preventing the in-place upgrade of ``virtlogd`` and ``virtlockd``
